Review summary

I have been on 3 cruises with Royal Caribbean and the shows were much to be desired. We also had some friends who did the Caribbean Haiti Puerto Rico and St. Martin and they also said the show were not good at all.

The clocks were all not working all around the ship and every floor. We had kids in camp and never knew the time.

The ice cream machine was broken the whole time, the ice cream was watery and melted. You should have a ice cream bar with a  server and the fixings (choc chips sprinkles)

You should have a burger and hot dog station on the pool deck instead of people going in and out of the buffet.

The main dinning room food was very salty

We had 3 rooms. The port holes in rooms 3610,2612 and 3614 needs to be painted, the screws or bolts were all rusted and salty, the moldings were separating from the window

The buffet needs to be open longer. It closed at 9PM. When we were on the celebrity it closed at 11 or 12 I cant remember.

The solarium café that was open until 2AM there was not assortment of food there was only hot dogs and nachos and cheese. So salty. I went to bed hungry many times.

The dismemberment was a joke. there was nobody there to guide anyone. The lines on the 4th floor wrapped around the floor and we stood still for long periods of time.

The dinning room staff was excellent very efficient

the room staff was excellent our rooms were always clean.

you need to work on the ship you have a great staff 

We are actually considering changing ships and as you know I am a platinum member

The entertainment on the Grandeur is usually comedy and Broadway style stuff. If you want something else cruising may not be for you.

If your looking for things to complain about --you can find a few. If you're looking for things to rave about there's not enough room here to write it all down for this first time cruiser! We had a great vacation.

I heard rumors you were a platinum member. I will call Royal and all other cruises you intend to go on in the future for you and complain even though I have no idea who you are. Here is what I'm going to say the problems are: 1. Need a clock repairman 2. You want wieners and not on the buffet 3. Rusty screws! (This one makes me very upset!!!) 4. You couldn't find your way off the ship.

Platinum is only one step above Gold which is the first step. So you haven't cruised much with RC. If you don't like it don't go.

No one cares if you are a platinum member, it just makes you sound douchey when you throw that around

The dismemberment??? Oh no lol

This can't be the grandeur! The park cafe in the solarium had a wide variety of food! The only time I saw hot dogs and nachos were one night that they had a dance party on the deck. You sound very hard to please! Go back to the ships you like - which are celebrity. I went on one celebrity ship and there wasn't anything to do past 10:30.

Oh, I see the Granduer. yeah, not my best cruise on that ship but I have to agree, you sound hard to please.

kellylawson9275    9 years ago

kellylawson9275    9 years ago
