Review for the Eastern Caribbean Cruise on Grandeur of the Seas

We are not new to cruising, this was our 18th cruise, the second on RCL the first was on the Voyager. Cruising from Baltimore was very convenient. A hotel nearby allowed us to park there for the duration of the cruise and provided transportation to and from the pier. The cost of which was 1 night stay.

Embarkation was fairly easy albeit a bit crowded. Of course we had to go to the Windjamer café while waiting for the cabins to be accessible. Unfortunately the café was small and over crowded and very uncomfortable.

The ship in general showed signs of a lack of preventive maintenance. There were evidence of rust and poor patch jobs in many locations.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

The cabin was average size for a veranda. The cabin was supposed to have a mini bar, however the refrigerator was non existent, and the contents sans liquor were placed in the empty space. I brought this to the attention of the cabin steward who said he would take care of it. About 3 hours later he brought a refrigerator the operated on 220 volts and would not fit in the space provided and would have to be placed on top of the vanity area, we declined to take it as it would have taken up too much space and cause a loss of and electric outlet. The shower was a bit larger than most, the sink was very small and water pressure was nonexistent. The toilet was problematic as it did not flush often and the flush button had to be tapped several time for it to function. The beds were adequate although I woke each morning with a kink in my back. The balcony needed work, the teak rail was raw wood not smooth polished finish. There were signs of rust and poor housekeeping on the balcony.
