My Views of An Immersion Cruise

Here is my review of the Grandeur Of The Seas cruise, beginning March 11, 2012.

Since Grandeur did not pass through the Panama Canal on this cruise, my wife and I flew from Los Angeles to Panama 2 days prior to sailing. On March 10th, we used My Friend Mario for a full transit of the canal. What we did not realize, is that Mario was merely the conveyance. The driver picked us up at our hotel, the Wyndham Garden in the Obarrio section of Panama City. His name was Mario, but he was not THE Mario. He drove us to Fuerte Amador, where the transit was to begin. We paid him $350 ($175 each), and he bought our tickets from that money. He handed us blue wristbands to wear.

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom

Cabin Q

Stateroom 3121 was quiet- until the last day. It is directly under deck 4 of the Great Gatsby Dining Room. The dining room is carpeted, and we did not hear chairs or tables sliding around all week. However, Saturday night, once everybody put out their luggage for disembarkation, we heard what appeared to be luggage being dropped on the floor of the dining room. This went on until close to midnight, and made it difficult to get to sleep. Perhaps the Grandeur can do this on deck 5 of the dining room in the future.
