1-10 of 135 Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Fitness Cruises to the Eastern Caribbean
We just returned from the Eastern Caribbean cruise out of Baltimore. The ship is small, but the crew is great and they really try hard to make your cruise a great experience. The crowd on this crews was 60+, but it did not bother us. We did realize that we prefer a bigger ship, but the convenience to leave from Baltimore and the itinerary is hard to beat. We had great weather, great ports and good ...
On St. Lucia rude & pushy Vishal at Diamonds Int. (What’s the matter lady, don’t you like diamonds?) And Vijay at Gold Mine, pushy like a hungry used car salesman.
Amit, Diamond lounge concierge and John, Diamond lounge bar waiter both very good. Cabin attendant Edison was most accommodating to us.
Accessible officers on this ship were good. They were friendly and genuinely concerned for ...
We have departed from Baltimore on other occasions and love the ease of their port.
Departing from ports such as NY are nowhere near as nice and easy and friendly as the Baltimore Port.
We had an 11 night cruise that included stops at St. Thomas, St. Lucia, Saint Maarten and Antigua. Each island having something different to offer and enjoyed each and everyone.
We had purchase ...
It was our first time on the Grandeur of the Seas and it has a lot to offer. We left Baltimore and cruised for 3 days before encountering the first of the 4 US Virgin Islands. The food in the Great Gatsby dining room was exceptional and the service was better than that. We also all like the offerings in the Windjammer. Be sure and check out the Park Cafe in the Solarium for healthy options and ...
Was just on the 12/10-22 cruise from Baltimore (BAL) to St Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St Lucia, St Marteen. 3 days at sea at each end. 3rd or 4th time on Grandeur (most recently March '16). Also Enchantment (FL & BAL pre and post stretch), Freedom, and have sailed NCL (3x) and HAL (2x). We prefer "smaller" ships (but have not experienced anything really big, so could be lack of 1st-hand ...
We've sailed Grandeur many times and love the ship! However, this time - which was a back to back cruise was lacking. Our waiter forgot us - salad one night, lobster - husband although he ordered it - it never came and after waiter was offering seconds to everyone - hubby had to raise his hand to get waiter's attention. It took 7 nights before I was served hot tea - was told didn't have what I ...
We have cruised Royal Caribbean many times with many cruises on the Grandeur. She is a small ship but as many people have often said, "good things come in small packages". Our March cruise was another excellent experience. We did have several days of rough seas but that did not cause any issues for us. The staff was excellent in their attention to "creature comforts" during the rough weather and ...
My wife and I went on a 10 night cruise on this ship from Baltimore to the eastern Caribbean, March 30 – April 9, 2016. We booked a junior suite with a balcony because we knew we would be at sea a total of 5 days and didn’t want to be cramped in a small cabin in the interior of the ship or on the lower levels. This was the first time we had not stayed in a small cabin on the lower levels of a ...
What a wonderful cruise to Bermuda, the Bahamas and then Coco Cay. The ship is an older ship int e RC fleet but was still maintained beautifully. The staff on board catered to your every need. Vitaliy and Vadym where excellent each night as waiter and asst. waiter for dinner. We sailed with our 3 teenage children and they also had lots to do on board with us or with the teen club. Our room ...
We were first time cruisers (just my husband and I, in our 50's) and chose the Grandeur of the Seas as a smaller ship so as not to be too overwhelmed and allow us the opportunity to really explore our ship, get to know the cruising procedures (embarkation, ship familiarization, amenities, dining/food, etc.)
The ship was fabulous for a first time cruise however I do think it was a bit on the ...
