Second Cruise on Grandeur of the Seas (we actually enjoy this ship)- Love the ease of getting the cruise out of Baltimore...Very convienient
Was disappointed that we didnt get to stop in Coco Cay due to spending an extra day in Miami for Maintenence ...
Would have not missed stopping at Port Canaveral..Nothing much to due ....especially close by-
Did enjoy the fact that RCC had the ...
Living in Baltimore area this was a good choice as didn't have to worry about sometimes unpredictable air travel to Miami or Ft Lauderdale. Embarkation was a little slow mainly because of TSA once through there we were in our cabin pretty quickly. Disembarkation took us a lot less time than we had budgeted, but our ride managed to get to the terminal 40 minutes early which was greatly appreciated. ...
We were glad when the cruise was over.
Started out poorly when Royal Caribbean made an unwelcome itinerary change at the last minute which cut Bahamas portion short. It was billed as a Bahamas Cruise but we were only there about 10-12 hours.
Prior to the cruise, telephone support from RC was poor at best. Multiple calls to get general information were difficult and information provided ...
This was my first RCCL cruise. I wanted to compare it with Carnival and a cruise we took last year on Carnival Freedom.
Even though the ship was smaller, I really enjoyed Grandeur. We had great weather heading down there, but ran into 12' seas on days 10&11. I could feel the ship rolling, but not enough to induce any motion sickness.
Food was great, but dining venues were more limited ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to get out of the winter weather for a couple of weeks. We hit a "sweet spot" on the price, very low cost, so we booked it. Although we had cruised quite a few times before, we had never been to the Southern islands, and had never been on Grandeur before.
The ship:
Room: We had a "guaranteed cabin", very small cabin (inside, deck 2), it had an ...
This was our second time taking this cruise to the Southern Caribbean on Grandeur of the Seas. Though this trip was not as good as last years', we still enjoyed it and have booked it again for next year. It is a nice winter break from the cold weather. Our embarkation was fast and easy, though we were not happy when we found out that we should have been given all our internet info from the ...
We did the same cruise last year and liked it so booked again for 2018. However, the ship's overall maintenance is getting worse. We had some rough seas and during that time drawers and doors within our cabin kept opening and closing on their own. Also, our patio slider would also open and close on its own. Called about getting the lock repaired on our patio door, but was told the entire door ...
The ship is old and not in the very best state of repair. The activities seemed pretty limited. The gym was almost a joke.
Departure of the cruise was delayed a couple hours to allow for more time to clean the ship since there had been an illness outbreak on the previous trip. I think they should have taken a lot longer to clean the ship since both myself and my girlfriend got quite sick ...
We chose this cruise because we had been on the ship once before (Canada & New England) and the cruise, our first, was absolutely fantastic.....friendly, clean, accommodating. We also chose this particular cruise so we could experience beaches and sunshine in mid winter! HA!!! Cut short, I understand. Bad weather, I understand. Crew attitude and lack of understanding or CARING about our dilema of ...
We went with a group of 31 people from the Elks. We all had a good time despite the weather. The food was good, the entertainment was good. We appreciate how much the staff cleaned all the time to make sure we had a healthy trip. The music was entertaining. We especially enjoyed the violinist and guitarist. They were very gifted. The ventriloquist was very funny. Really enjoyed his show. Watched ...
