New Ship in Baltimore in 2013
About 3 weeks ago, Royal Caribbean posted its 2013-2014 cruises for Baltimore, Maryland. The information that surprised me about the posting was the changing of the ship they home port in Baltimore. Currently, it's Enchantment of the Seas. This will change in April 2013 when another Vision Class ship the Grandeur of the Seas will take over their cruises out of Baltimore. At this time, I know nothing about this ship barring the fact it's the same class as Enchantment of the Seas. Presumably, once Grandeur of the Seas takes over, Enchantment of the Seas will be free to get a refit. Royal Caribbean was planning to refit the ship sometime in 2012 or 2013 (source their website). Nothing specific has been announced about that as far as I know. Currently, Royal Caribbean isn't showing any further cruises for Enchantment of the Seas on its website http://www.royalcaribbean.com once it finishes its last cruise out of Baltimore. At this time, Grandeur of the Seas is running cruises out of Venice, Italy. In November 2012, it'll cross the Atlantic Ocean en-route to the Caribbean where it'll offer cruises Caribbean cruises out of Colon, Panama (source: Royal Caribbean website) until it re-positions to Baltimore in April 2013.

Grandeur sailed from Baltimore from 2004 to 2009 when she was replaced by Enchantment.
Enchantment will be reviatlized in December 2012 and will replace the departing Monarch in Port Canaveral in 2013. She will sail year-round to the Bahamas on Mondays and Fridays for 3 and 4 night cruises starting 04/25/2013.
Thanks for the info Anonymous. Do you know what shape the Grandeur is in? Has she had a recent refit? I'm thinking about sailing on her re-positioning cruise which departs from San Juan on April 24th, 2013, does 6 port of calls then 2 days at sea before arriving in Baltimore. From reviews I read on Enchantment of the Seas, that ship needs a refit. It's supposedly showing the miles. I'm looking forward to sailing on the Splendour of the Seas which is the same class and had a really impressive refit this past November. Doubt the Grandeur will be on par with that ship.
