This was my second cruise ever. Grew up around boats; and have zero interest in the enormous new ships. I want to see the ocean at all times. Grandeur is Royal Caribbeans "Vision Class," and has acres of windows. It is very easy to get around. I never used the elevators.
Previously I cruised in a suite; this time I wanted to see if the cheapest cabin on the oldest ship would suit me. The fare ...
Weve been on many cruises out of the UK - mainly P and O but sometimes Fred Olsen and once on SAGA but we thought we would try something different and had heard so many stories about RCCL
We were not disappointed!
food and facilities were on a parity but the atmosphere on board was way better as was the entertainment in general
We liked the shows in the main lounge and also the band and ...
This is an older boat, well maintained. Don’t go expecting the Odyssey of the seas because it is not. The service and food was excellent. There are only two pools. So the main pool was filled with kids. The adult only pool was very nice. But it is a covered pool.
The entertainment on board was entertaining but probably the worst of any ship I have been on. There was one blonde who sang in ...
This is my fourth cruise this year, my first on Grandeur of the Seas. My others have been on Independence (1) and Freedom (2) of the seas. Grandeur is a smaller class of ship, and that was both a positive and occasionally a negative. Let me summarize first by saying that it was a wonderful cruise with so many wonderful moments.
The Good
Don’t laugh, but the soft serve ice cream was ...
I chose Grandeur of the Seas for an inexpensive bonus cruise before my next sailing in February. I am so happy I did! The base cruise fare for my spacious Oceanview stateroom was only $150 which is ridiculously low. Arrival at the port and embarkation was handled in less than 10 minutes, then a short wait in the gangway and I was onboard. Stateroom 8043 was very spacious, it seemed wider and ...
We just completed the 9 night Southern Caribbean Cruise on Grandeur of the Seas. The ship may be smaller and "seasoned" but it offers an excellent classic cruise experience. By classic I mean it doesn't have massive water slides, bumper cars or an ice rink -- the main attraction is cruising on the ocean. This smaller ship is quaint and easy to get around on without the newer ship bells and ...
We chose this cruise for its price. We selected an aft facing junior suite (8588) and paid just over $1,500 for fare, taxes and port fees for the two of us.
1st, the good:
*The view from our cabin was the best thing about this cruise. The wake of the ship is simply mesmerizing.
*The balcony was huge.
*We also had a very attentive room attendant (Clinton) who went above and beyond for ...
There may not be all of the bells and whistles but this boat still had enough to do. I would suggest this boat only if you have many ports on your itinerary. If you are at sea for more than 2 days I would suggest another option so you have more things available to do. Our kids did miss some activities though we were only at sea for the first and last day of the cruise so that worked out well. ...
My husband and I have been on so many cruises that I cannot remember how many I have been on. That being said this was only our second cruise on RCI. Why? We live close to Galveston and I am tired of getting stuck at airports.
Compared to Adventure of the Seas this cruise was GREAT. Compared to most other cruises I would give it a 3. Why? The rooms and the the lack of things to do on the ship ...
This was the first time on a Royal Caribbean ship but not our last. We had a lovely suite with all the amenities, see separate review. We also purchased the unlimited dining and drink packages and Voom internet.
Boarding out of Galveston was a bit unsatisfying as we had a bit of a wait to get through security, then as the Coast Guard were inspecting the ship it was another hours delay to ...
