Update on Baltimore's Future Royal Caribbean Ship

I found out from an anonymous commenter that Grandeur of the Seas had been posted to Baltimore previously before Enchantment of the Seas took over. Also, Enchantment of the Seas is scheduled for a refit in December 2012 (source: Royal Caribbean website). I did some Internet research and found out some more information on Grandeur of the Seas which will be returning to Baltimore on May 3rd when it arrives from a re-positioning cruise which begins in San Juan, Puerto Rico on April 24th.

The people of Baltimore will be getting a vastly improved cruise ship when the Grandeur of the Seas arrives. According to the Incentive Travel and Corporate Meetings website http://www.incentivetravel.co.uk/cruise/7768-royal-caribbean-internationals-grandeur-of-the-seas-completes-refurbishment-, Grandeur of the Seas finished a $48 million dollar refit on June 1st. The refit was part of the Royal Advantage program where Royal Caribbean upgrades its older ships with things that have proven popular on its newer ships like its Izumi Restaurant or pool side LED screen. The ship will also have Royal Babies and Tot Nursery as well as a brand new Diamond Lounge for it Diamond (and above) Crown & Anchor members (source: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/grandeur-seas). All the improvements should make for a really nice cruise experience. Personally, I'm looking into the re-positioning cruise as I think it's a great cruise (6 port of calls and only 2 days at sea) and, it would be cool to sail into Baltimore and see Fort McHenry from the sea. We'll see on this. Stay tuned.
