Will Del Rio be making the trip also?

 

 

 

Are you bringing a "mascot" this time

 

 

Mayyyyyyyyyyyyybe. I promise to answer that on Saturday.

Room 115. This is where Best Western puts their most exclusive VIPs.

 

 

 

 

These executive suites come with their own in-room spa:

 

 

 

 

And a fridge! I'm hoping for an Independence Day miracle on Saturday that there will be a fridge in our room on the ship as well.

 

 

Will be sailing Grandeur on August 4th, can't wait. As you know the ship is older and much smaller than what your used to. That being said I love the crew, Francis in the CL, Bee the casino host and her husband the casino manager. Also so very convenient for us since we are 30 minutes north of Philly. Have NEVER been on a bad cruise.....K.O.:)

[BunnyoftheSeas]

Love your review so far! We board grandeur next week :)

Courtney - sound asleep since 2 AM

 

Me - wide awake, staring at ceiling since 7 AM, twiddling thumbs, daydreaming of roastbeef sandwiches and Coronas

 

This 10:30 shuttle can't get here quick enough.

I like your style, so if you dont mind, I shall follow.

The Best Western's version of the Solarium:

 

 

 

 

Like the Grandeur, these hot tubs are not cantilevered.

Excuse me, this is Cruise CRITIC! Page three without insults, mudslinging or threats? What is this world coming to?

 

Happily following along. Enjoy the Grandeur. We were along for the ride bringing her from San Juan to homeport in Baltimore.

The Best Western's version of the Solarium:...

Much nicer than the pool in Harmony's Solarium.;)

Thanks everyone for following along.

Maureen "got" the Villian and I earlier. :D We have thick skin though.;)

[Yorkvillain]

I hope everyone understands that I was just being sarcastic when talking about the older smaller ship, shower curtain, no fridge, etc.

 

Clarea sold me on this class of ship almost a year ago while we were sitting in the windowless Schooner Bar on the Oasis.

 

It may be an older ship but it is new to us and we are really excited to try something new.

That guy doesn't look happy. Looks like he just got off a cruise. :D:)

He looks like he is about to demand some onboard credit because some stranger took a picture of him in the lobby.

No worries. Any who have followed your previous cruises know exactly where you are coming from.:)

 

The comment in red is what made me laugh, for all the right reason.

I so understand you. My first time on this class also. IT'S A CRUISE!!! Give me a beer and get me out of town. I'M HAPPY!!!!

Have done Vision OTS some years ago, with Oasis and Anthem.

Based on your review so far, have now booked Grandeur for next year.

Looking forward to the rest of your review.
