Review summary

The Grandeur of the Seas has a BIG screen that they do NOT know how to utilize.What they should do is ANY time they have a presentation or demonstration , it should be telecast on the big screen so many more can see what is going on. Excursions are discounted if you book them late, after you are on the ship?! This is backwards to me.. You should get a discount if you book in advance! Overall the cruise was good

Stay away from the Glass Bottom Boat excursion, beeter to go snorkeling on your own..It's more of a shopping tour with little time in the glass bottom boat
