Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was our second cruise but our first with Royal Caribbean. The staff was exceptional!!! So friendly and eager to make your experience "top notch" ! The Virgin Islands were gorgeous with beautiful scenery and  excellent weather! This cruise was so relaxing with dinner served and wonderful shows. Not a cruise for the young though. Average age of guests approx. 70yrs. My daughter was one of 7 teens on board with a total of 17 children out of approx. 1,900 guests.

The entertainment was great.  From the Acts that came on board, to the on board bands.  Nick Erwin was fabulous, as was the band, Rookie.  The local bands were also very good.  Lora on the piano bar was entertaining and was very friendly.

Our statement room attendant, Alex was excellent and gave us very good service. Also our formal dining staff was excellent as well. The food was so so.  the curries were the exception and were great.  

Bobby and Tanya were great as well.

What a wonderful cruise. Everything was great from the food to the shows. I wish we had more time in coco cay but other than that I was so happy and have already booked my next cruise. 

My favorite part of the cruise was getting off at the different ports and exploring.the crew was also very friendly The food wasn't all that great and most of the time was room temperature, not hot...also I was very disappointed that due to delay because of a lifeboat falling, the excursions for the next day were cancelled. Part of the reason I went on this cruise was to get to go to sea world in Orlando but unfortunately I never made it there because of this delay... I wouldnt recommend this boat ( grandeur of the seas) because there wasn't a lot to do, and dont know if I'd recommend royal Caribbean in general because of the disappointments I had. 

This was our 3rd cruise on Granduer of the Seas.  We like the ship because it is smaller and you get to know the staff better.  Our room attendant was the best (Ron).  He was always around if we needed anything.  Our granddaughter was with us (8 years old) and she really enjoyed Adventure Ocean and having dinner in the dining room.  I wish you would build a new small ship that could leave out of Baltimore.

Relaxation plus....Food was excellent, the entertainment was great, always something to do if you wanted activity or just relax. Staff was fantastic always in an uplifting mood ready to help if needed, The dining room staff knew our names and after 2 nights knew what we liked on the menu. Casino didn't pay at all..but that is normal. Room staff was so pleasant and gave us many good laughs with our towel animals. 

I am a Diamond Plus Royal Caribbean Cruiser and have cruised on several other Cruise lines (currently we've been on 68 cruises). This one was great as always because the staff was excellent, the passengers friendly. and the entertainment 

great but the food was not. We received food that wasn't cook and/or they did not have a variety of food. Several days we did not have any beef selection (yes there was a Hamburger slider for dinner but that was it at several dinners in the main restaurant.. I get tired of chicken and fish without the accommodation of Beef.. . especially at dinner.  

Third cruise with Royal Caribbean and have noted several changes-mostly negative.  On arrival at terminal, no cabin found for us.  Had to have a key card made and camera malfunctioned.  Took 45 minutes to check-in.  Luggage not delivered to cabin.  Had to pick it up on deck 1.  Told alcohol was in luggage.  Went to deck 1 opened luggage for attendant and nothing was found.  Asked for assistance getting luggage to cabin and told none available.  Dining schedule screwed up for all couples in our party.  Food in dining room has totally changed.  Ate most meals at the buffet.  Activities that were previously free now have a charge (scrapbooking, crafts, etc.)  Bathroom flooded from shower malfunction.  Took two days to make adequate repair.There's more but my fingers are getting tired.

Entertainment and shows were excellent.  Enjoyed early dinner seating. A relaxing three days

at sea before reaching first port of US Virgin Islands.  Nice to receive a daily "Cruise Compass"

in your cabin each night showing what is going on the following day. 

The staff was amazing! the ship was nicely redone new sinks in the bathroom. The bars looked good. But I did not like the park cafe the staff was not friendly

We're loyal to Royal cruisers. This cruise was 3 1/2 days down to the Caribbean with stops at four ports, then 3 1/2 days back to Baltimore. Of course this time of year, the weather's as you'd expect (cold rainy with some spitting of snow). So no getting outside on the walking or pool decks. However, the entertainment staff and activities aboard ship more than made up for the inconvenience. Warm Caribbean winds and hot sunshine made up for all that. We truly enjoyed meeting new friends and seeing returning cruise mates. Other than a disappointing specialty dinner in Giovanni's Table - Italian Restaurant - all's well and good. Thanks to our travel agent who got us a perfect balcony. We'll be signing up for more cruises.

Orchestra was great. 

Did not like the smoking area was on the same side as the ice cream and where the smokers smoke blew across the pool. Very allergic to smoking sets off Asthma. 

All staff are very friendly and accommodating. Shows in the evenings have room for improvement; not much on quality but on variety if the budget slows. 

Longest cruise vacation we have taken and we have taken a lot.  Never felt cabin fever.  Enjoyed every minute on the ship.  The crew were absolutely fabulous.  Service superb.  Food has a great variety and good quality.  The shows are varied, well-chosen for a family cruise and highly entertaining.  Dinning room staff at our table (Troy and Ankur) were exceptionally courteous and considerate.  All in all, we had a great time away from home to celebrate both Christmas and New Year on the ship.  The we had the quickest disembarkation this time!!  The only thing missing is basketball court! 

Wish I had stayed home and saved my money.

Virgin Islands are junkie and ALL they know is jewelry and I'm a jewelry lover!

Food selection and taste was terrible in the main dinning room.

I shouldn't have to pay to go to specialty restaurants to get a good meal. 

1) Cruise  were great,

2) They need to work on main dining, food was cold at some time my appetizer was cold when I order scallops and butter and bread is never warm also way cold.

3)The activities has improved

Their is no longer 24 hours free food after 1:00am, If I want anything I will have to call room service and pay a fee and I don't think that fair.  If I paid all this money to get 24 hour worth of food!!!

And if they could work on the TV station with choice of English and Spanish that would be great because the Spanish channels had shows I want to look at but I don't speak Spanish so I could not understand it.

The food is great, I was overwhelmed by so much options. The service is great the waiter and waitess are super nice and friendly. Most of them are bilingual. I met Chen Bo and Junet Leung on board. They're both very warmhearted, and helped me a lot. However, it's pretty boring while we were sailing on the water. There weren't anything interesting to do. Also, St. Lucia was lame, the souvenirs are ridiculously expensive. And they charge you for everything, traffic was horrible! But I like most of the stops, the beaches were great. Antigua and Barbados were fantastic! Overall, I am satisfied with my trip.

while this was a smaller ship so it fit our budget there wasn't much going on after 11 pm so we definitely caught up on our rest!!!! The ship did an amazing job of putting together New Years celebrations all over the ship and I would definitely cruise over New Years again. They also had xmas and Hanukkah services too. Great alternative family or friends holiday experience 

The Excursions were exceptional. The Aerial Tram above the tropical Rain Forest in St. Lucia was breathtaking & worth the $ 124.00 pp. The Royal Caribbean staff treat guests well, and we felt pampered.

We enjoyed St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Barbadoes the most! Nothing to do in Dominica, very poor port. St. Lucia's people really ruse and don't take no for an answer.

Entertainment on a ship was ok, previous cruise was mush better! Also less food selection.
