Enjoyed this weekend getaway from Tampa. Our room was very nice BUT was noisy being below the windjammer buffet. The entire crew from the captain to the room attendant were superior. Friendly, and kind. The food was of very good quality in the windjammer they had, Caribbean night, Mexican night, and Italian night themes and the experience fun. Only went to one show and it was good but not great. ...

We were on a 7day Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa. I see a lot of complaints about this cruise ship on other reviews. Yes, it is an older ship but still beautiful. The atrium in the center of the ship is so nice. Lots of music there every night and games during the day and you can view it from almost any floor. We never had a problem with getting drinks anywhere on the ship--if we ...

We've been on the Grandeur years ago. I understand it was due to be retired, but saved at the last minute. Please! Retire! It shows it's age everywhere right down to the shower curtains which leak everywhere. As with most lines, service and food keep declining in the name of profits. If you sell to the trailer park boys, surprise, they're gonna book. The 350+ pounders were in abundance, ...

I’ve been driving to Port Canaveral for cruises for the past two years and was glad to find a Royal Caribbean ship from Tampa, where I live! Embarking was easy. Disembarking was difficult and took over an hour to get off the ship once in line. Because of Hurricane Tammy, we were unable to go to Nassau and CocoCay. We went to Cozumel instead. For families, this was a big disappointment. The ...

Qualifications: this is our 9th cruise with RCCL since 2002. We've been on every class ship from Oasis to Empress. We did not use the main dining hall for dinner, we'd bought the specialty restaurant package so we cannot comment on the Main Dining. One irritation we found booking this cruise was that pretty much anyone could buy most of the perks of point status (we're Diamond) like wifi, show ...

Not what we’ve been used to from RCCL

There’s been an overall decline in RCCL service since we started cruising with them almost 2 decades ago. From checkin, to room stewards, to food it’s just not the same. We’ve amassed quite a few points and now have a high loyalty status with RCCL, and that used to be worth something, but now you can buy most of what our two decades of sailing has earned if you buy the “key” program. Our loyalty ...

The Grandeur of the Seas is the oldest and smallest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet, so it doesn’t have all of the latest features that you would find on the Wonder of the Seas, but we had a great time cruising to CocoCay and Nassau with two sea days. It is very important when planning a cruise to know what you are purchasing. The disappointing reviews for Grandeur mostly come from people who ...

Worst cruise I’ve ever been on . First time giving Royal Caribbean a try and I regret spending money booking this cruise . Food was horrible. It was so crowded and no where to sit to eat . It was full of seniors not that it’s a problem but when you have kids a seniors boat isn’t a good choice . Old lady pooped in the pool and jacuzzi they closed it . No activities to do extremely boring . The ...

Small, very clean, comfortable ship, you feel connected to the ocean. Weekend, value-priced cruise attracted all types. Musicians were outstanding. Food quality has declined since January when I sailed this ship, going to the main dining room has lost its excitement. Service and attitude were very good. Suite benefits were very helpful. The lounge itself is a plush escape and ...

Service nearly everywhere was very good to outstanding. The waiters we had in the MDR worked very well to get our table of 4 were very well taken care of and consistently out in about an hour and 15 minutes. The head waiter visited our table usually 2-3 times every night. This has NEVER happened before on any ship on any cruise line. We were lucky to see a head waiter 2-3 times the entire ...
