most cruise ships on all lines that have any age have a stench in one or two areas. If you cruise enough, it's common.

Sailing in 42 days I will make sure I bring plenty of air fresheners in case of any smells.

This ship smelled of raw sewage when we were on it a few years age. It should be retired or a total gut job of all it mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. And now there propulsion system since they had to return to Baltimore Sunday night after leaving Sunday morning. Engine problems and canceled this weeks cruise

Love the Grandeur. This ship generally has an older crowd or couples since there not a lot of kids activities. Can’t wait to cruise again in February.

Grandeur is a smaller ship but it has always been fun for us having cruised on it three times!
