mare73 Posted July 18, 2013 #26 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Have a great vacation! And put me down as another future 7150-er who is looking forward to many photos of the room and ship. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyDad Posted July 18, 2013 #27 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I wouldn't rule out Izumi. I love sushi but my kids dont...and yet its still their favorite specialty restaurant. They love the hot rock meals (or whatever its called). They bring you out your meal (chicken, steak, seafood or whatever you order) raw and give you a very hot rock to cook it on. You can cook your food to your preference (rare, medium or well done). It's sort of like a twist on fondue. Its fun and food is good. It's certainly not Chops but its a fun dinner experience. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plank Posted July 18, 2013 #29 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Happy cruising! Can't wait to hear how it all went! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kteacher Posted July 18, 2013 Author #30 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We made it! The hotel is just as wonderful as ever. We just finished the "ghost tour" , which included a lot of history of the hotel and Fell's Point. The tour ended at the tavern downstairs where we met the hotel's general manager, Mario, a great guy. We are off to dinner now at La Scala!

Rare Kteacher Posted July 19, 2013 Author #34 Share Posted July 19, 2013 [ATTACH]279485[/ATTACH] View of the harbor from the roof top deck. A few more things about the Admiral Fell Inn: they have a stay and cruise package that includes up to 8 days of parking, your room, a town car transfer to and from the ship, and a 25.00 dining voucher ( we used it at La Scala last night). The restaurant provides a complimentary shuttle service to and from the hotel. It is a sunny and hot day here in Baltimore- can't wait to get on board !

dwdwnurse Posted July 22, 2013 #41 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hi KTeacher! Hope you're having a great cruise! Did this cruise leave from Port Canaveral?!! We just got back from the Freedom in PC :) We'll be on a triple B2B beginning Friday - can't wait to hear all about the ship. Does the Grandeur have the Freestyle soda machines? They were really nice on the FOS. Also, do you know if the Diamond lounge is open? Thanks! Enjoy your week!!! Debbie (a fellow teacher!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kteacher Posted July 25, 2013 Author #42 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The internet has not been working most of the week, so I will give a lengthy update when we get in tomorrow. The cruise has been great, no real issues. No smoky or sewege smell anywhere. No coke freestyle machine onboard:(. Weather was great earlier in the cruise, kind of overcast today. Invited to the captain's table :), dined in Giovanni's twice, Chop's once, and Chef's table. I will review dining when we get back. Staff are excellent, and cabin 7150 is great :) ! We booked our dream cruise for next summer, 12 nights in a Celebrity Suite on Celebrity Equinox, doing the mediterranean to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! I'll try to answer any questions when we get back to Baltimore. We will be at the Admiral Fell Inn tomorrow, doing the aquarium during the day, and the Red Sox vs. Orioles game tomorrow night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetToes Posted July 25, 2013 #43 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Glad things are going great. :) You'll be coming back to much nicer temps than when you left. That's the good thing. The bad, the cruise is ending. :( Gotta' add 'Go O's'! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeywestK Posted July 25, 2013 #44 Share Posted July 25, 2013 So glad it's been a great cruise. I'm looking forward to the rest of your review when you get back. I'm particularly interested in your experience at Giovanni's Table, as we plan to celebrate DH's birthday there next month. And congrats on your booking for next summer to celebrate your 30th anniversary. Have fun in Baltimore and enjoy the Aquarium and ball game at Camden Yard!

Rare Kteacher Posted July 26, 2013 Author #46 Share Posted July 26, 2013 We are all checked in back at the Admiral Fell Inn :). Here are a few photos of cabin # 7150: Walk in closet - sorry, clothes don't come with it :) The infamous sink. I had no problem, but my husband said it was too small. More to come- off to the aquarium! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kteacher Posted July 27, 2013 Author #48 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'll try to organize this by days, but if I am apologizing beforehand if I throw in some random stuff. Day One We ate a great breakfast at the Blue Moon Cafe, which is in Fell's Point. It was featured on The Food Network, Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins. Captain Crunch French Toast anyone :). One of the great things about the Admiral Fell Inn is that they offer a great cruise and stay package that includes parking and a town car transfer to the pier. They must have heard about all my shoes, so they sent the Mercedes party van to transport us :). We got to the pier around 11:30. Check- in was quick and smooth, and we were on the ship before noon. We had just finished a big breakfast, so skipped lunch in the Windjammer, and just had drinks instead ( yay!). Our cabin was ready at 1, and walked down the hallway on deck 7 to our corner aft, # 7150 Here's another shot of the bathroom. We are meeting friends at Miss Shirley's for breakfast, so more later :) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
