New Orleans Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews

This was my fifth cruise - third with Royal Caribbean - and after a not-so-wonderful cruise with Sovereign, my faith in RCCL has been restored! Embarkation- Trouble getting the bus transfer. We waited over an hour at the bus stop thing at the airport, in the freezing cold, to catch the bus. However, embarkation itself was very smooth - no wait in lines! Food-The answer is....it depends. Some ...

My husband and I booked this cruise to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and the Grandeur of the Seas did not disappoint! We spent two nights in New Orleans prior to the cruise and took in the Jazz Fest on Friday. What a great way to kick off our vacation! On Saturday, a short taxi ride from the Drury Inn & Suites brought us to the port, and check-in was swift; we were in our cabin before 2 p.m.! A ...

Some Background: This is our third cruise, we started on the Jewel in 2005, then the Explorer last year and now the Grandeur. This is our favorite ship size wise. My DH is 56 and I am 46. We have our DS who is 15, but he was not on this cruise. New Orleans: We went to NO a few days ahead to enjoy the sites and pour some money into the economy. It's really starting to come back, but you can tell ...

A group of three of us sailed on the March 11th cruise. We are all college aged guys and had an oceanview cabin on Deck 2. I will describe the cruise by day. Saturday - Boarding was fairly simple. We drove, dropped our luggage off at the terminal, then parked our car in the parking deck. We were onboard by 1:00, bought the soda card, and went to eat in the Windjammer for the afternoon buffet. ...

Wow - what a cruise. This was the first time my 12 year old daughter and I had cruised and it was amazing. I had heard on several previous reviews this was an older ship and was concerned. After seeing how well it was kept up there was absolutely no reason for concern. Getting on the ship was extremely easy and we were checked in and on the ship within 1/2 hr. I would suggest online checkin. ...

Where to start. This was my second time to cruise on Grandeur of the Seas, my husband's first and my children's first cruise period. My husband and I have cruised before. Grandeur is just that Grand. She is an older ship showing some wear but scheduled for dry dock in April, 07 which will improve her grandeur! I booked our cruise directly thru Royal Caribbean with absolutely no problems. Prices ...

We embarked on the Grandeur of the Seas from New Orleans on St. Patrick's Day. We boarded the ship with no real problems. I was traveling with my husband and my son who is eight. None of us had ever been on a cruise before. We boarded at about 1:00 p.m. and we had to wait a few minutes before we were allowed into our cabins. When we were allowed into 2536, an oceanview cabin, we were a little ...

Since this was about the last sailing out of New Orleans for the Grandeur, I will post info about the ports at the port boards. This was our 8th cruise, 3rd on RCCL. We have also been on Celebrity, Carnival, Holland, and NCL. We have found RCCL is a step or two above Carnival. We were in a midship balcony on the starboard side on deck 7. We have had balcony cabins on the last few cruises and would ...

Just returned from a nice sunny and warm cruise to the Western Caribbean. What fun to leave the February snow behind and within a couple of days to be basking in the hot sun as you lounge by the pool and sip a cold margarita! This was my lovely wife and my 15th cruise and 12th with RCI. We have sailed on the Grandeur three times before. So you might ask why sail on the same ship over and over, ...

Had a great cruise. Never sailed out of New Orleans before. I was surprised at how long it took to get out of the Mississippi river. The ship and crew were great. Had a delay at the airport when boarding the buses. They said it was because of an outbreak of a virus and that they were sterilizing the ship. We had an ocean view stateroom which was nice. The only time we were in the room was ...
