Royal Caribbean does everything perfect. Ships are beautiful, staff is great, port of calls are awesome, food is super, Staff is top notch, entertainment is professional and well done with lots of variety. The rooms are very clean and well taken care of. Pools are clean and the deck surrounding has plenty of seats. There is so much to do on the ships. Shops, Entertainment, Casino, Bars, ...
I chose this cruise for several reasons. Our first cruise was with,Royal Caribbean, second with Carnival. The Royal Caribbean cruise was so much better we decided to go back.The dates worked well with our schedule and I really liked the idea of a 9- night cruise. Baltimore is only a 3- hour drive and this made it appealing. Embarkation and disembarkation was extremely easy and most of the ...
I chose this cruise since it was extremely inexpensive. I traveled solo. This ship's bathrooms (I suffer from paruresis), meal times, food, exercise equipment, and time devoted to karaoke has improved somewhat since I last sailed it five years ago, so it is now up to average (note to Grandeur: 7hrs of karaoke during a 9 day cruise is STILL not enough). Embarkation went as expected. This ship's ...
This was our first RC Cruise - I've cruised 4 other times, all on Carnival. We wanted to finally try out RC and see how the two were different/similar.
Overall Experience: We loved the Production Cast/Singers and Dancers and the Activities Manager Tornado Tanya and were blown away by how friendly all of the crew and staff were. Many of the other guests had been on the Lady G before so she's ...
We like the Grandeur as it's near to home. I have seen other reviews with valid gripes, namely being solicited, repeatedly, to "buy" upgraded meals in the specialty restaurants, poor Guest Services experiences, stuff being added to our bill, and cruddy excursions, generally. That said, the great morale and great attitude of the crew once again made our cruise pretty great. The dining room food and ...
We went on the Oct. 28th 12 day cruise to the Caribbean and had a OV cabin on deck 2 since I booked this popular ship too late to get a suitable cabin on a higher deck. I chose this cruise because of distance from our house in NC that did not require us to fly and because of all the positive comments from repeat cruisers that showed how much people loved this ship and the crew.
POSITIVES: ...
We booked about a year out so that we could be sure to get a junior suite - our first in this type of cabin and a great deal price wise. Itinerary was great even though we had two changes due to hurricanes Irma and Marie. Worked well for us because we had never been to Barbados or Martinique. We had two favorite shore excursions - The Catamaran and Lobster Lunch in Antigua. This one included two ...
Choice the cruise because of the convenient location, Baltimore, and the friendly staff.
The entertainment was poor. The feature shows and entertainment in the theatre has been repeated cruise after cruise after cruise.
Daily background music in the main lounge and other area's of the ship was mostly hard-rock. There was NO soft music. The speaker volume for all daily and evening ...
Leaving from Baltimore was a breeze. Stayed at the Best Western right up the highway from the pier, right off 95, the night before. Free shuttle to pier and parking was included for the 13 days. Check in was quick and easy. We were on the ship by 10:45am and felt like we gained an extra day. Crew was very friendly as were other shipmates! We had a room just off the Centrum, so everything was ...
Boniface and Huan in the dining room and Roy, our room attendant, were always polite and always ready to do what we asked. The service was top notch. Sarvesh, in the dining room, we had him 2 years ago and he remembered us. He is always polite. The ship may be an older one but it is a very comfortable and easy to get around ship. The shows were always very good. The only negative things ...
