Review summary

iWe enjoyed the number of Ports which included 2 overnights. This is probably one of our best experiences on Royal Caribbean to date.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Ok, but no available parking at Terminal. Had to park a mile away and run/walk to get back to Ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
This is probably Grandeurs' best feature; the Service and Staff were exceptional!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love the smaller ships. Easy to get from one end to the other.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was small but location was excellent!

Ship tip

It's a smaller Ship, but very easy to find your way around. Note, the Port Side of Ship is a smoking area on Decks 5 and 9 so if that bothers you, stay on the Starboard side.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Safe and easy to walk around town. Did not do an excursion this time.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Took an excursion to see the Island. Went to a Rum Tasting and cooled off in a clear little river. Fun day!

Cartagena, Colombia

4 out of 5
Port is full of history, but lots of vendors in town bugging you to buy things. It was the only port where it was a little annoying at times. We did a boat tour of the Harbor and walked downtown Cartagena.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Beautiful, which we had more time. Didn't arrive until 3pm. Did a combo boat tour and bus tour. Bus was a bit cramped for those of us that have knee issues, but we made it work.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Loved this Port. Very clean facilities around the Port and enjoyed the little bars by the water. Also had a Trolley excursion to see Downtown.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Fine, wait was too long. Unfortunately, we could not park by the Terminal so had a mile walk to get the car. Note to self to arrive earlier next time!

It sounds like you had fun. I'll be on a 10-day cruise on this ship? How many elegant and dressy nights? I enjoy dancing, is there dancing music in the lounges?
