Philly Steve Posted January 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Nicely done! Perfect choice of opening music and I can feel the stress melting off and a warm up for Day Two. I'll be viewing this a few more times before our April embark. Thanks! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHA...it looked as if you guys were almost alone on the sip and at the ports! NICE :D Glad you enjoyed the review. On the ship, I tried to keep photos of strangers to a minimum. In the ports, we actually DID have the beaches pretty much to ourselves most of the time we were there. We try to avoid the usual and often crowded tourist beaches. You will have a GREAT time on the Grandeur in April I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimandtoni Posted January 22, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Great video we will be on her in march for our first time after seeing this cant wait . thank you Anticipation is part of the fun. I am pleased the video has whetted your anticipation. The Grandeur is a lovely ship that, as you could see, is showing remarkably little wear and tear. You will have a great time.

Did you get to do anything in San Juan, or you stayed on the ship? Did you dock in Havensight in St. Thomas? It kind of looks like you docked in Crown Bay instead. How was water in Great Bay? Thanks!

jimandtoni Posted January 23, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What an amazing video! Did you get to do anything in San Juan, or you stayed on the ship? Did you dock in Havensight in St. Thomas? It kind of looks like you docked in Crown Bay instead. How was water in Great Bay? Thanks! Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video. We docked around 3PM in San Juan. As we have been to old San Juan many times and we had early dinner reservations at CHOPS, we decided to stay on the ship. You can, however, get off the ship and walk to Old Town and the fort. In St Thomas, we docked at Havensight. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves at Great Bay in St Maarten. We walked to town from the ship, cruised the Boardwalk for a bit, and then lay on the beach and swam most of the day before having lunch at a beach bar/restaurant. I have read articles in the past about the low quality of the water in Great Bay. I have never found it to be anything other than clean and clear.

jimandtoni Posted January 23, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) The rainbow pics were amazing. A highlight of any Caribbean cruise. Did you shoot any video too? That was the biggest rainbow I have ever seem. It arched over the entire island. Even with a 15m wide angle lens, I could not shoot the whole thing. No, I did not shoot any video. I am a professional STILL photographer and I rarely..make that never..shoot video. Edited January 23, 2015 by jimandtoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to going on the Grandeur April 10 with my 3 year old grandson! I love the grandeur and have sailed on her several times! Not having been on a RCI ship for MANY years, we booked this ship/cruise with a pretty high degree of trepidation. Our concerns were unfounded. She is a beautiful ship, and I hope RCI keeps her in the fleet for a long long time to come. We shall sail on her again soon I am sure. Have a great cruise!

How was traffic through Charlotte Amalie? From what I remember both St. Thomas and St. Maarten suffer from bottlenecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
