The only previous experience I've had is with NCL Crown, and the buffet and
the main dining room had different menus. They also had the small
specialty restaurants.

I don't wear shorts at all, so not wearing them in the buffet wouldn't
matter to me, but if it isn't so, I don't know why he said that.

It looks like Grandeur of the Seas does 5 day cruises from Baltimore, with
two days in Bermuda. When I looked at the floor plans of GOTS, it looked
like they had the main dining room, and buffet and a lot of lounges instead
of specialty dining rooms.
They left their child with someone and went on the cruise by themselves.
They apparently also thought the shows were pretty lame.
This report upset my husband (otherwise he would not have even mentioned
it) because we are scheduled to go on back to back cruises on the Maasdam.
We've never been on that ship, and he's not been on HAL before either. And
he's now very apprehensive.
