Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5

Port cut short because captain decided to backtrack to Boston and arrived around 2 pm instead of 10 am so 7 hour excursion 10 Best of Halifax was cut short. Only saw 3 things briefly and excursion was 3.5 hours instead was compensated 20%. It should have been more compensated

We just did Grandeur to Bermuda. We had a great cruise. Ocean was rough because of hurricanes but that is to be expected during hurricane season. Next time don't go in the fall.

I would not judge a ship or itinerary based on issues caused by a major storm. Weather issues can occur at any time and the captain has to make sure he keeps the passengers safe. You will not have to be concerned about sailing grandeur of the seas with Royal Caribbean for much longer since they are transferring the ship to Pullmantur in 2021.
