Main dining room was even better than usual. I also feel like the buffet has stepped up a little as well!

Ship tip

Lunch in the main dining room on at sea days is our favorite. That salad bar is a thing of magic!

We did an excursion through Royal on the airboat. Excursion was great, just wish we had more than 30min on the airboat. Nothing else to do in port unless you book an excursion - can't get anywhere from the ship.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

LOVED all the updates to the island. I was the most impressed with this experience. The new "South Beach" was fantastic

Did Balmora beach break and the beach is great. Just wish we had more time there - the excursion didn't begin until 1:15 and was 45 min late.

Nice easy cruise.

We really enjoyed our cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas (cruise from Baltimore to the Bahamas Jan 31 - Feb 08). The Grandeur is still the friendliest ship in the fleet.

Crew was awesome! Food was great! Smelled funny!
