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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Let me start out by saying I love RCCL and have been on 17 cruises just off the Oasis in July and booked the Serenade in May 2011. That being said this was a nightmare cruise from the minute we checked in to going thru customs. 1st when we booked it was a month prior and did so because after the Oasis where everything is on a schedule we just wanted to relax by ourselves no children. Our friends ...
Booked this cruise b/c saw it on the web for a great price. Board at noon, have bathing suit and suntan lotion in carry on; it is almost a full day minus the breakfast, with lunch, then swimming then activities once the ship takes off. then 2 ports, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, with 2 full days at sea. Just right for a week [almost] getaway. Flew down from dc area night before, though you could fly ...
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 ...
This will be a short review because there is nothing to say but what a great cruise. We arrived in Fort Lauderdale around noon and after dropping our bags parking the car and all, we were on board by 1245. We weren't in the terminal any longer than 10 minutes before we were waiting for the elevator to deck 9 and the Windjammer. We had a quick bite to eat, which was pretty good for buffet food. Our ...
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 ...
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 ...
