If it wasn't for the fantastic main dining room servers and our room attendant the cruise and excursions would have been a total let down. It'll be a long while before we cruise again, if we do.
Embarkation

easy peasy
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Main Dining Room was great along with the food. Our servers Keem and Jaymart are fantastic, couldn't have asked for a better pair. They were always right there to get you anything and everything you could have wanted.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools are too small to accommodate all the people. There were days when we didn't even get in. Stood in the showers to cool off. Evening shows in the Palladium, great.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
excellent shows
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward Adwa, he is something else. I looked forward to going back to the room just to see what kind of animal/person he would leave. Always had extra towels and an extra blanket on the bed. Again Keem and Jaymart are exceptional.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The layout was easy to maneuver around. The ship is old and needs a lot of TLC.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Very clean and adequate. The only issue with the room was a terrible creaking noise at night when the ship was moving.
Ship tip
Don't base your cruises off of this ship, it is older and smaller than the rest of the RC fleet.
Did the Waterfalls and beach excursion, NO WATERFALLS, just spent an hour and 45minutes climbing up a mountain, jumping into dirty water gorges, and 15 minutes at the beach. What a waste of money. Island was very dirty. Would not go back. Not what was pictured or described on website.
The island was nice our cab driver was not. He took us to the wrong location and then would not take us to the correct one, told us we would have to rent a car to go to the resort we wanted to go to. Was a little pissy with him when he refused to take us and still wanted to get paid for taking us to the wrong place. It was not our fault he didn't know where he was going. Isn't that the driver's job to know?
Was disappointed with our excursion , was not planning on a 1 hour hike up a mountain, driving in the bus for half the day and only getting 20 minutes at the black sand beach. The beach was the only reason I booked this. This was not the excursion that was described on the website.
So the staff and food was great but because of a bad excursion experience you may not cruise for awhile. I've been on Grandeur 2 times and love the ship. Think you should research excursions better before you sail. I cruise again soon.
