Fine, I'll Try a Small Ship - Live GRANDEUR Review (July 2, 2016)

[prayfordaylight]

Thoroughly enjoyed the review - thanks! Looking forward to sailing on Grandeur in the hopefully not-too-distant future.

Add my name to all those that have thanked you for doing this great review of the Grandeur. I will be sailing on her in December and it will be my first time on this class of ship. You have given me lots of good information.

36 minutes.

 

That's how long I was home for before I emailed my travel agent about booking the Grandeur again for next year.

What month sir?....

So are we to assume based on your experiences to date on the Grandeur and the Quantum, you would prefer Lady G over the Anthem when sailing out of the Northeast?

What month sir?....

 

 

July 8th. Same exact trip.

 

We already have the Navigator booked for March and the Harmony for September.

That is a good question. I need to think about that one. The Voyager & Freedom classes are still my favorites. After that I'm not sure how I rank them. I love them all for different reasons.

 

We enjoyed the Quantum and I'm excited for our Anthem cruise this October. I would give the Anthem the slight edge right now. Ask me again in 12 minutes and I might have a different answer.

Just missing you, have Harmony booked for a B2B in Feb, and Navigator for April, Grandeur August again. One more not yet booked....K.O.

I wish I had that much vacation time!

[kenevenpar]

Thanks for the entertaining review!

 

We do not have a cruise scheduled on Grandeur. So we are not looking forward to that. I just thought I would share that because people would want to know.:rolleyes:

 

Great review and sense of humor!

[Jarmo]

Great review. 9 days until I do this itinerary, can't wait.

We're on Grandeur next month so this review was very timely for us. Do you remember if they had more than one Three Card Poker table and if they had an Ultimate Texas Holdem table?

And I just thought you were happy to see us ... damn... :(

 

ETA: I see I am a little late to this party... How old does this make me?? (Just to clarify.. not a boy!)

 

Laney is ANYTHING but a 'boy'.

They did have an Ultimate Texas Holdem table. I'm not sure how many Three Card tables they had.

Thanks so much for your review. I laughed the whole way,

 

Grandeur and the port of Baltimore have always been my favorites.:D

Was he on vacation, or do they just move around periodically?

Thank you for your review.

We sailed on the Grandeur of the Seas about 6 or 7 years ago and to this day we still believe that was one of our best cruises on one of the best ships if not THE best ship of RCI ***** "Grandeur of the Seas" *****.

Awesome review. I have the same itinerary booked for May 2017, Had some doubts about the ship but after this review I'm glad we booked.

Thanks again!

[dwdwnurse]

Thanks also for taking us along! I am suffering from major PCD and your review and pictures helped immensely :)

 

Funny thing, I tried using my Sea Pass at our local bar and it wouldn't work :p

 

Thanks again!

[Mysschevous]

Thanks for the review. You had me refreshing several times a day to see if you posted any more. :) 1 more week and I sail on Anthem!

[Cel_cruise]

This was such a fun review to follow! I also found myself refreshing to look for more. Will definitely make an effort to follow along on future reviews too!
