We love the size of the Ship, the Baltimore location, the friendliness of the staff and overall vacation experience for the cost. We book a Jr Suite and use My Time Dining. Never a need to schedule an event because there is always the ability to just do whatever you want to do. The food is wonderful, the staff friendly, the dance opportunities numerous, and ports all have great things to do via ...
This was our 17th cruise, and our 2nd Royal Caribbean. The GotS was the smallest ship we had ever been on. In summary; the good:
-great food, lots of selection in the buffet, and different choices every day.
-the dining room food was excellent, with great traditional offerings, and interesting daily choices.
-the staff (everyone - but especially our steward and dining room staff) ...
Specifically chose this cruise to have access through the port of Baltimore. Such an easy boarding! The ship is the smallest of the RCCL fleet but the ride was great. Our cruise started out several days prior to sailing by cancelling the stop at Coco Cay. This was replaced by an overnight stay in Miami so that "routine maintenance" could be performed. It was later explained that it involved ...
We did the same cruise last year and liked it so booked again for 2018. However, the ship's overall maintenance is getting worse. We had some rough seas and during that time drawers and doors within our cabin kept opening and closing on their own. Also, our patio slider would also open and close on its own. Called about getting the lock repaired on our patio door, but was told the entire door ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to get out of the winter weather for a couple of weeks. We hit a "sweet spot" on the price, very low cost, so we booked it. Although we had cruised quite a few times before, we had never been to the Southern islands, and had never been on Grandeur before.
The ship:
Room: We had a "guaranteed cabin", very small cabin (inside, deck 2), it had an ...
This was our second time taking this cruise to the Southern Caribbean on Grandeur of the Seas. Though this trip was not as good as last years', we still enjoyed it and have booked it again for next year. It is a nice winter break from the cold weather. Our embarkation was fast and easy, though we were not happy when we found out that we should have been given all our internet info from the ...
This was my first RCCL cruise. I wanted to compare it with Carnival and a cruise we took last year on Carnival Freedom.
Even though the ship was smaller, I really enjoyed Grandeur. We had great weather heading down there, but ran into 12' seas on days 10&11. I could feel the ship rolling, but not enough to induce any motion sickness.
Food was great, but dining venues were more limited ...
Chose the cruise for the ports, but several were dropped when it changed from 9 to 7 days.
We still had a great time. The crew aboard the Grandeur were awesome. Casino folks were pleasant and treated my son and I courteously. Our room attendant, Iketut was tremendous. The waitstaff at the main dining seating, Stevan & Marko did a great job and the food was enjoyable. The shows we caught ...
I picked this cruise because my parents have cruised with Royal MANY times and always gush about how good it was and how relaxed they felt . HOWEVER, I would not use relaxing to describe our experience.
We got an e-mail 2 days prior to our departure explaining that there was Noro Virus on the ship and therefore our boarding process would be delayed. Then we got another e-mail explaining that ...
Wanted to cruise to Charleston, but wasn’t meant to be on THIS cruise due to Maintenance Issues and a small outbreak of Norovirus. But we felt we were compensated nicely and will try to make this same cruise in the future. So our Cruise was cut short by 2 days in the beginning, then we couldn’t make 1 stop on the way back due to high winds which was out of the cruise line so control (yes this ...
