Review summary

Having sailed on the Liberty, before covid, my expectations were very high and Granduer did not meet them in the room or the food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No issues.. everyone was friendly and all went smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food was lacking variety and, in some cases, freshness. There were cold cuts and cheese fur almost every meal and they were not appetizing. Both times we ate in the dining room, we had to them go to the buffet because the food was not very good. The chicken parmesan was rubbery... as if it had been reheated in the microwave for too long. The "alcoholic" beverages are lacking alcohol and are outrageously... most at $13 plus tax and 18% automatic gratuity.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We mostly played the trivia games and played along with other games in the centrum area.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Broadway show was awesome! The comedian was good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every person I interacted with on the cruise from royal was very friendly and helpful when needed.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Since it was a smaller ship, we were able to learn where everything was in a relatively short amount of time. The ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Cabin was clean, shower was way too small, chair behind bathroom was blocking the closet and in the way. I was disappointed that there was no refrigerator in the room. The beds were hard.

Ship tip

Bring snacks and learn where you can get water, besides the bar, for when the buffet is closed.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

I live in Texas and have been to Galveston numerous times.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Everything went well until we realized that someone else had taken my suitcase from the pickup area. I was able to call her and swap out our suitcase.
