Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was a great cruise. The staff was excellent. Food was good except they could use a better selection in the Main Dining Room. The Royal Caribbean singers ere great too. Everyone was so friendly.

The staff on this cruise were exceptional. Very friendly and helpful!  The food/restaurants were outstanding. While we didn't get to go to Coco Cay due to bad weather, the cruise was a great time.

Enjoyed the cruise; food was excellent; service and friendliness of staff was great. Missed one day at Coco Cay because of weather. Overall was happy.

Our 9 day cruise from the Port of Baltimore was great fun. It was very convenient leaving from Baltimore.  We cruised seceral times before of Grandeur of the Seas and always had a nice time.

Good food, great staff and very accommodating to ballroom dancers.  So much enjoyed we booked in Aug 2017 and Mar 2018. Wahoo! Dining room staff Peter Dias, Toni and Airy were great. We had my time dining and loved it.

Everything. The boat is very clean and has many amenities for guests to enjoy.  The solarium was my personal favorite; it was warm, sunny, without all the wind of being outside.  Our table staff, Randolph and Ikedek were outstanding and perfectly and gracefully met and exceeded our every need. Our room attendant Mr Daves was very pleasant and hardworking.

We booked this ship because we wanted to surprise our parents (who had also booked but didn't know that we had). This is a very small ship!  Yes, it is beautiful, clean, and has a great staff.  BUT, if you are an active person, you will get bored!  There is no sport court.  The activities are mostly trivia games and dance lessons. The small bands playing in the Centrum were amazing, and the venue has great acoustics.  The theatre productions were basic, and not so great. You won't get the "glam" that other ships offer.  However, the food was amazing and the staff was attentive, friendly, and engaging.  If you enjoy reading, knitting, playing cards, and low key activities, book this ship.  If you need more action, avoid it. Also, you will feel movement much more on this ship than the other.

Cleanliness needs to be exercised more.  Drawers, counter tops etc had to be wiped down, rug had not been cleaned as peanut under table, alos had to keep calling maintenance due to A/C & heat function.  First too cold , then too hot. finally got it fixed.  Food excellent. service in dining room excellent.

Overall the cruise was good the services were nice. The exception was we received dining vouchers through but when we went to the restaurant to reserve our seats they said we could not use the vouchers because it was not on our manifest to use the vouchers. The dining crew tried to call and verify but no one returned the call.

Relaxing, enjoyable with the best service at sea.   Thanks to the specialty restaurants food was tolerable.  The presentation at the Windjammer reminded me of schol cafeteria.  They made up with very attentive staff.  Windjammer was art its best for breakfast but lunch was sad.  Quality of meats was terrible except,at specialty restaurants.

I loved everything about the cruise!! Fantastic weather! Great crew!!  Especially Aji, Aries and John. Aji and Aries were our waiters at Great Gatsby Dining room, table 420. John was our cabin steward. Also much appreciation to Paul Rutter, Cruise Director, for all his work, especially the Sunday All Faith Christian Service. Over a hundred people in attendance. 

My favorite part of this cruise was the American ports. Although I have visited these towns in the past, I appreciate the opportunity to visit from the sea port. The ship was nice and the crew was very nice.

Had a lot of time to relax and enjoy my wife's company without the hustle of daily life.  Food and drink were very good.  Staff on cruise was courteous and friendly.  Really enjoyed side trips at different ports.  Stateroom was very well kept and attendant excellent.  Can't wait to go again!   

My favorite stop was Charleston. there were not enough activities . People save seats in the solarium all day from 6a until 4p. No chance ever to get a seat. Waitstaff was not that attentive as I remembered on other cruise lines

We enjoy going to the different ports, seeing new places and learning about the history, the people and the culture. We especially liked the tour in Barbados on the Atlantis submarine. The tour itself was excellent, although the wait time for it was long. The My time dining worked out better than we anticipated as we went to dinner early each evening at about 5:15 and we always had the same waiters, which is a feature we like!  WE were excited about going to St. Lucia and did like our tour but were unhappy with the volume of tourists at each of the tour stops and the number of tour buses at each stop. It was chaotic and overwhelming, making the tour seem very rushed.  Less people at the stops and more time would have been good. There were three cruise ships in port and that was part of the problem! We especially like leaving from our local port of Baltimore, but hope that some new tours will be added to new ports as we have been to most of them.

We loved every single island we visited on this trip. The ship is old but well kept; it accomodates only about 2.5K passengers, so it never feels crowded. We had a wonderful family vacation.

Provide more Chinese food, choose some more pretty destination (like Miame),

Cruise was nice getaway.  It was very easy to get around the ship, and the cabin was very nice and roomy. The cabin attendant was excellent, he made sure that we had what we needed during out cruise.  He was very, very helpful and friendly.  The food in the dining room was very good.  Our waiter, assistant waiter, and head waiter provided outstanding service.  Good food in the Lido, and excellent service from the staff that worked there.  The shows and other activity on the ship was limited and about average.  Good music during the afternoons and evenings in the Centrum.

Overall, the personnel aboard the Grandeur are terrific.  Smiling and helpful.  It seems that my last critique was attended to: updating the movie equipment.  Now we can see everything on the screen with bright colors.  My only criticism, the merchandise in the shops aboard the ship isn't the greatest.  Oh well, it saves a little money.

The boat was called Grandeur of the Seas.. Really it should be Vendor of the Seas! The boat is 20 years old and it is showing its age. A lot of rust showing in on the outside of the ship and in areas where the passengers can access. 

We did not like the main dining room. Went once and didn't step foot in there the rest of the time. Service was slow and it was the same food that was served in the Windjammer.Ate in the Windjammer for every meal. The food was plentiful but the desserts were less than stellar. Best dessert the entire cruise was the Apple cobbler. 

Our Stateroom attendant was absolutely AWESOME! She was extremely nice and friendly. Never batted an eye or verbalized one Sign at any request. A request that I'm talking about would be an extra towel or a glass of ice. She was always very happy to see us and would stop what she was doing to talk with my wife and I. She was from Romania and her work ethic is something that should be copied by a lot of workers. 

The captain decided to skip CocoCay because of choppy seas. Beautiful 80 degree day and a light breeze. Got to watch the cay disappear as we slowly crept away!. Spent three days at sea! Was absolutely trapped. Thank the maker that the crew showed a movie each day in the theater.
