I chose this cruise because of the port of departure (20 Min from Home) and the ship Grandeur of the Seas. The ship is just the right size and not over crowded. The Staff is very Friendly. The Headliner Shows were excellent. The only problem I had was that CocoCay lacks a pier and if the sea is rough, tender boats cannot be used. The stop at CocoCay was shipped both times I sailed because of rough seas. The food and service were excellent in the main Dining Room. I spend a lot of time in the casino accumulating points used to get free or discounted cruises. The shore excursions that I have taken were very good but also on the expensive side. I have another cruise scheduled for October to the Northeast states and Canada, a cruise that I did once already 5 years ago. I am an Emerald member and need one point to become a Diamond member.
