Where to begin. For a start there is nothing grand about the Grandeur of the Seas. A tired and jaded ship internally.The check in process made you feel nothing short of cattle. The room was okay, however my wife was able to write hello in the dust on the top of the TV at the beginning of the week and, by the end of the week it was still there! The bathroom has a mirrored cabinet and the doors didn't fit properly so they didn't close properly, a shower so poky that if you dropped anything your backside ended up in the room! We had a problem with our toilet one evening, we reported it it was 'fixed', but next time we flushed it emptied completely, re-filled and then flooded out the back into the bathroom. Where our room was it was right next to the anchor, so a nice morning alarm call when you docked, very noisy indeed despite wearing earplugs.

The entertainment was poor indeed, much more suited to a Butlins. e.g We had a foreign lady singer who despite singing in English you still couldn't understand her. Lessons in how to make your towels into shapes of animals, very useful when you get home! A chef, the captain and his 2nd in command making a cake and spending most of the time throwing the ingredients around like 2 year olds.

Beware the prices of drinks, not only is a service charge added but also tax. e.g bottled water in your room is $3.95, add the rest and it ends up costing $5.77. Wine at the dining room table is ridiculous prices. If you try to take alcohol onto the ship it is confiscated from you and given back at the end of your holiday, not daft are they? If you wish to buy an alcoholic drinks package it costs a pretty penny and you obviously feel obliged to get your money's worth, so don't bother unless you really like your drink! Read more
