Wow. Where to begin. I read the reviews before booking and boarding so I knew what we were in for a ship that was small and outdated, but that's not what made this cruise unbearable. We were in an Owners Suite and it was nice. However, it was below Windjammer Cafe and the noise between 2-4am was horrible. Woke us up every night. The service on board was very over taxed and lacking but I could tell ...

I have cruised with Royal Caribbean twice before this cruise and many times with Carnival. I certainly noticed many cut-backs on this particular ship. "My-Time" dining does not exist on the Grandeur of the Seas. The first night my family showed up for dinner at 6:00 pm only to be turned away and told "my-time" doesn't begin until 6:45 pm. We retuned at 6:45 to be turned away again and told to come ...

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 ...

Biggest problem was that the windjammer was closed in the evening so we could not find anything to eat. We have restricted diets and did not go to restuarants to see a set menu. So each night we went to teh little cafe and had fruit and cookies. It might have been useful if they had given advance notice of WJ closure. In fcat the RCI app was showing WJ to be open in evenings - that was right upto ...

I live near port of Baltimore and looked forward to not having to fly somewhere. I was interested in the ports being visited. I knew the ship was smaller than what I was used to but didn't think it was as old as it was. This was first cruise on Royal Caribbean. I've cruised Celebrity, Princess and Carnival. It was my 11th cruise. I was a bit shocked how outdated the cruise ship was especially ...

We chose this cruise because of the sailing date and the itinerary. The departure city was Baltimore Maryland, a place we had never visited before and looked forward to exploring, along with Washington DC, its close neighbour prior to our embarkation on 22nd December 2018. This went very smoothly. In fact, the most seamless we have ever encountered. Filling in all the paperwork does make such a ...

We had been on the Grandeur of the Seas long ago but it is not the same at all.The dining room menu lacked variety, and had the same vegetables every night, hard broccoli and hard carrots and baked potatoes. Even when you told the waiter and he wrote it done “ no broccoli, no carrots, no baked potatoes,” you got it any way. The weather was bad but I’ve been on cruises where the weather has ...

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 ...

This is our 4th cruise with Royal and we've sailed on Grandeur's sister ship Rhapsody so we thought we knew what we were getting into. Overall we'll avoid any cruise with Grandeur in the future, and this has severely tainted our opinion of Royal Caribbean We picked this cruise because it had a great looking itinerary and we'd done a previous Christmas cruise with Royal out of Florida on Oasis ...
