Our itinerary for the first “week” (8 nights) is:

 

Our itinerary for the second “week” (10 nights) is:

 

For a combined itinerary of:

Although we have left out of Baltimore a few times before, this will be our first time on the newly renovated Grandeur! We have bookings at both the newly installed Chops and Giovanni’s table for dinner both weeks. Other than one excursion booked for Tortola to the Baths on Virgin Gorda we have a whole lot of “nothing” planned!

As long as I don’t bore you too much I invite you all to come along!

 

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them and I’ll answer them as I can.

 

Off to finish [over]packing!

 

Thank you,

LOL! I'll be coming along in more ways than one ... I'm packing for the 12/14 cruise already. I'll see you on board!

 

Looking forward to "joining" you vicariously for the first leg of your trip.

[DragonOfTheSeas]

Count me in, too. :)

[Lady Hudson]

Great - subscribing! What a nice way to spend the month of December.

[KeywestK]

Agreed.....18 days of vicarious cruising. Almost as good as being there! Thanks for taking us along!

Bradpitt, oops, I mean Bradpole , (A girl can dream, can't she? :p). I look forward to meeting you and your Mom tomorrow. I am also going to attempt a live review, not sure about that wifi, though. :(

[chellecruise12]

Have a great trip! We travel on Vision nxt May so I'm interested in reading your review also!! :)

We get ON as you get OFF - I'm definitely watching - I hope you are WOWed the entire time!

 

Bon Voyage!

[bradpole]

I think we're finally packed! Of course I'm sure I'll stuff a few more things in before the cases are loaded into the truck for the drive to Baltimore.

 

I know (or hope) we've massively overpacked, but 5 HEAVY cases for two people (plus carry ons) I don't think is too bad for 18 nights

 

 

 

We're not flying, so why not bring along too much!?!

I'm jealous! Nothing better than Christmas and News Years than combining both holidays with a cruise! We did that in 2007 on Explorer, it was wonderful!

Over-packing is an art form. We intend to over-pack too!

Does "subscribing" to a live report mean any thing different than just reading the report everyday? Do you still have to go into the list and find the thread?

[Keith1010]

Have a great cruise.

By posting on it the thread it automatically "subscribes" you to the thread. But some can just "subscribe" to it without posting. But means you can get notifications that new items have been added to the thread. It will also show up in your "Subscribed" list so you don't have to go searching for said thread. :D:D

Good morning!

 

Well Grandeur has almost arrived at Cruise Maryland

 

Interesting weather today, it is 62 degrees and raining. 62 in December? Sadly it sounds like it is going to get cold very quickly quickly today. Looks like sail away will be a bit chillier (45) and wet.

[emeraldcity]

The weather is coming your way ... We were basking in those 62 degrees yesterday morning in Cleveland ... and we had sleet by evening.

 

Have a wonderful cruise. The Grandeur is a beautiful ship.

[Canadian Tyler]

Following along. Have a great cruise!

Luckily we booked these cruises far enough in advance that we were able to have the same cabin for both cruises.

 

Our itinerary for the first “week” (8 nights) is:

 

Our itinerary for the second “week” (10 nights) is:

Although we have left out of Baltimore a few times before, this will be our first time on the newly renovated Grandeur! We have bookings at both the newly installed Chops and Giovanni’s table for dinner both weeks. Other than one excursion booked for Tortola to the Baths on Virgin Gorda we have a whole lot of “nothing” planned!

As long as I don’t bore you too much I invite you all to come along!

Thank you,

 

We are also with ya on the 14th, so this will be fun to see how things are going this week:)

Smooth sailings!

[bythehex]

We too are sailing with you on the 14th, I can't wait!

 

We've never been on the Grandeur before, but we've sailed on Carnival Pride out of Baltimore. We really love this port, easy for us to drive to and they're always so fast and efficient there.

 

SO looking forward to this cruise! :D
