Creator's Key Takeaways
Grandeur of the Seas is the oldest cruise ship in the fleet we saw that it was christened on Friday the 13th in December of 1996 so this ship is quite old
it is small but it is mighty
the layout of these older ships make it really easy to kind of go from deck to deck which is one of my favorite things about the vision class ships
there is so much glass everywhere so you can see the seaing kind of does stretch all the way around
