Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

This was our Second Cruise in the December Time Frame to the Caribbean Seas.  The ports of call on both cruises were different.  The boat was nice and the packages from BJ's worked out well.  You must insure that the BJ's shore excursions get back to your boat on time though.  The boat sometimes makes small departures changes that could leave you stranded if you do not remind your land tour people that you need to be back on time.  Entertainment was great, crew was great.  I'll do it again.

I had to re-scheduled my vacation in late October due to complications with my surgery. Both and Royal Caribbean were very helpful and kind. I traveled  with my granddaughter and enjoyed every bit of this vacation. Food was great, shows were wonderful, 5 stars to Royal Caribbean! Have two more reservations and looking forward to my next trip on Grandeur!

My partner and I booked this cruise in the last 90 days and scored a 550 inside cabin for 12 days. We have no complaint about the price and def got more than we paid for. 

With that said, as someone who is a frequent cruiser this ship / food / entertainment was pretty average. We are 36 and 27 years old and we were def in the 100 youngest people onboard of the over 2000, because of that we didn't feel the whole experiance wasn't really gear towards our demographic. 

The ports of call were great, except St Thomas, I guess the port was over booked with cruise ships and we had to tender to shore, because of this we were unable to get off the boat till after noon even though we arrived at 8am! Had to be back on the ship by 4pm So we lost that day completely.

Dominica is a new port the ships are going to now, it ended up being our favorite port, from the champaign beach, to the waterfalls, to the boiling sulfur pits, it was a really cool experiance. It wasn't over touristy like St thomas and St Marteen have become. 

The rest of the ports were cool, Barbados we swam with turtles over a ship wreck, st marteen and st Lucia were nice and touristy.

7 days at sea is a bit much for a smaller ship with limited activities, we spent many of those days chillin in our small inside cabin because there wasn't a ton of activities geared towards a younger/middle age crowd. 

If youre a baby baby boomer or older this cruise will be great for you.

if your gen x/y ... You will be able to relax but won't be blown away

millennials will get board with the ship after a day or so. 

The 12 day part of this is really the best thing, the 3/4 days to settle in and realize your on vacation was nice, then the 5 days at port felt like abtrue adventurous vacation, then the last 3 days to unwind and do nothing was great. Overall middle of the line cruise experiance, if you can snag this cruise for a good price (40-60$ a day) its worth your time. 

Ports were fun. Went to great beaches on our own. Pool " monitors" kept removing articles from pool chairs they felt were being saved too long even if mate was present and other was at lunch or shopping on board ship. Got to be a hide and seek game.

We enjoyed the entertainment. The food choices at dinner did not meet our expectations. The staff throughout the ship were very competent and nice.  Grandeur of the Seas no longer has chocolates on the pillows at night and does not have a daily paper of current events.  

Excellent cruise. The staff was wonderful. We liked food in the Great Gatsby dining room and enjoyed entertainment. Our waiter Jessman and assistant Alex were wonderful. The food in Windjammer Cafe was good, however, the soup mostly was too salted.

I loved the glass bottom boat seeing the fish and the education they shared was amazing . The waiter I think his name was Christie was great he made good recommendations, such as the wine tasting, the room was great he was extremely nice ,I think his name was Solomon 

This was our third cruise on the Grandeur of the Seas. We felt comfortable with this ship although it is showing it's age for sure. We had a wonderful state room, room steward, location on the ship and wonderful weather. However, a Thanksgiving cruise is for families with children. There were 500 on board. Some are well behaved but the few that were not really made it difficult on everyone else. I blame the parents for no discipline. My husband is a plain eater and he did not care for all the ethnic dishes and tasteless desserts. The dining room, Great Gatsby, had perfect service, Indar, and food was good if you got soemthing you knew what it was. Many items on the menu were unknown to me, Cock-a-leekie???  Lots of strange items. So, it wasn't quite the cruise we had hoped for. Partly our fault, but the entertainment on the ship was not what it used to be. Only 1 comedy show, and no Newleywed Game. Intertainment was so so.  Anyhow, cruising was calm, docking was wonderful, loading and unloading went perfect. Never saw a photographer except for Formal night. Anyhow, things were different. 

We had a great time on the cruise. The ship itself was clean and well maintained, the service was excellent and the food was great. It helps to have the Unlimited Drinks package, since that means you get unlimited supply of bottled water, specialty drinks and beverages. The specialty restaurants were also great. We had a great time and the cruise exceeded all our expectations. Great value for money too.

Best part of this cruise was the dinning mates we met , and the room steward and the Junior suite 8546.

everything else on the ship was old  , poor service , poor itinerary ,poor entertainment , lousy TV , etc .

This ship is an older, smaller ship so it made my in-laws first cruise easy going.  It is clean and full of wonderful food and workers.  We enjoyed every aspect of the trip.  My only wish would be for a water slide!

I love kids . BH it there needs to be rules...the ship was beUtiful. Staff was great.cococave was beautiful....just pick a time when kids are in school..they can ruin the trip fast..

Our first cruise with RC. Overall the experience is good. The food is OK. Service and staff are excellent. The kids' program only allow a very limited number of kids to be enrolled and every time there is a long line even 20 minutes before the kids' program starts. What can I say? It's not ideal for cruisers with young age kids.
