Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Can't say enough about the service given from the crew from the room attendant to the bar staff to the dining room they all made our vacation a pleasure

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Grandeur of the Seas one of Royal Caribbean's oldest and smallest ships so some Rust and flaws are to be expected but other than that my wife and I had a great Cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was an inside cabin for the wife and I plenty of room and was very well kept and clean

Ship tip

My one piece of advice is just remember it's an older ship it's small so do not expect the amenities and entertainment that you would get on the bigger ships. But if you like a relaxing enjoyable Cruise it will not disappoint

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5

Sure do enjoy the beach here at Labadie. My one thing is do not go to the market where they sell items they are too too pushy and Royal Caribbean needs to let them know they probably would do a lot more business if they weren't so pushy I do understand they are trying to make a living but sometimes people are turned off because of that I know on our cruise my wife and myself did not go because too many people told us that they just did not enjoy the experience so we opted not to go

Beautiful Port of call. I just wish they would build a dock so that you did not have to Tender ashore.

Traveler Photos

Chicken parmesan main dining room was excellent. Also the appetizer cannot remember what they were called they were rice balls on Italian night they were fantastic.

LOL try not to eat much bread, but could not help it in the main dining room.

We loved our cruise on the Grandeur. Best staff out of 19 cruises. We had forgotten how nice the small ships can be. So much more personal and friendly.
