1-10 of 27 Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: My hubby and I had cruised twice before, once on the Celebrity Summit and once on the Mariner of the Seas and our two main concerns were that a 5 day cruise would be far too short and that the smaller ship would detract from our vacation. Of course we found the cruise to be too short (but that's true of any cruise, no matter how long) but found the smaller ship to provide ...
Background Information: Repositioning cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Panama
Ship Info: First time on this ship and it was outstanding. The ship itself is dated but the captain and crew make up for it.
Activities: We created our own activities within the Cruise Critic roll call and had tons of fun.
Service: Dining room service was phenomenal. My stateroom attendant was fine. Nothing above ...
I had not cruised on a smaller ship. This changed my mind. The ship size seems to suit my needs better than larger builds. Why? Well I liked the fact that dinning option were limited to the main dining room and the buffet. This makes a more affordable cruise. I have spent countless dollars on up sells to a special dinning experience. The Gatsby did all the same type of foods without the up-charges ...
We had a very nice experience on Granduer of the Seas. We were a group of six adults.
Embarkation was a breeze! The only problem one couple had was the cab from the airport--make sure they take you to the correct ship. Do not get out of the cab until you are at the right place. Cab driver took them to Oasis--cost them $10 to get another cab to take them to Granduer. I actually think it's a ...
On October 28th I had the please of sailing with 45 members of my non profit organization on the Grandeur of the Seas. I was pleasantly surprised by the swift embarkation at Port Everglades. On board the ship the service in the dining room staff showed true concern for their guests.On many ship you never see the Maitre D. On this ship we saw him nightly and he was double checking continually that ...
First, let me premise this review by stating we did not choose this ship. My in-laws were extremely generous in taking us on a family cruise, but we did not have the chance to participate in the planning. The travel agent recommended Royal Caribbean because of their "amazing" children's programs. She was not a good agent . . . she also told my in-laws (and us) about things on the ship that were ...
This was our second cruise ever, first was 10 yrs ago- we waited way too long!We went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and decided to take our 2 kids, 11 & 14. We booked on the Grandeur of the Seas for 5 nights to Western Caribbean. We stayed pre-cruise at the Hyatt Place North near the cruise port, as recommended by so many reviewers, was well worth it! We took advantage of the ...
We flew from the U.K. to Florida, spent the day with Harry Potter in Orlando then drove to Fort Lauderdale in order to spend 5 nights at sea.
Ports of call were Grand Cayman and Cozumel and we were VERY UNLUCKY with the weather RAIN, RAIN and more RAIN!!! (Hurricane Richard nearby...)
We stayed at the Best Western Hallendale Beach in FLL, booked via Hotwire which gave us an EXCELLENT ...
Selected this cruise for the price and ports. The ship was in really nice shape for it's age and the crew was excellent. The shows were nothing to write home about with the exception of the Beatlemania show which was REALLY good.
Embarkation was really easy and quick. Kudos to RCI.
Food in the Windjammer was good, not exceptional, but the service in WJ was excellent. The crew were attentive ...
We just recently finished a wonderful five night cruise aboard the Grandeur of the Seas. Visited ports included Key West, Cozumel, and Coco Cay. This was Capt Rob's last sailing aboard GOS.
Embarkation - Port Everglades. We flew in the night prior because AirTran adjusted our flight schedule three times prior to departure and we didn't want to take any chances. We stayed at the Hampton Inn north ...
