Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a excellent cruise. Very good entertainment, food and service on Grandeur of the Sea Cruise. Will recommend all to take this one as you will get your moneys worth.

 Our favorite part by far was the love and marriage game show, absolutely hilarious!

 The "in between meals" food selection seemed very limited- i think more variety would go a long way 

yes i would recommend this cruise

The cruise was a great opportunity to get away and relax.  The food was fabulous.  There was plenty to do on the boat or you could just relax.  Your choice.  The cruise director and all the staff were very friendly.

If you want to go from Island to Island this is not the cruise for you but if you want a convenient short cruise out of Baltimore, it is a fantastic option

Evening activities were excellent with talented people; very enjoyable.  Casino was awesome with exceptional  employees.  Movies were current and well attended. Cabin steward was friendly and very attentive to our needs.  Beauty Salon personnel were very nice.  Hand sanitizer personnel were personable and I was impressed with the length you went for cleanliness.

Yummy food and shows. I would like to see more games and my son missed having a basketball court in the ship. Eating in Restaurant with family together was fun.  We had fun dancing with the disco lights in the nightclub. Children enjoyed movie in the open deck. Enjoyed deck party with all together dancing step by step.

Wilson and Dan from Restaurant were very kind and helpful with our food needs as we were vegetarian. Special Thanks to them.

The cruise was wonderful. My favorite part of the cruise was the ease of checking in and checking out when the cruise began and ended. I did not particularly care for the reserved seating for suite members in the Palladium, there are never many seats available and it's open to general seating. Royal Caribbean should remove that as a "perk/benefit" of having a grand suite or above. Overall, the cruise was great and we booked  a 9 night while on board.

This boat is too old and outdated. It is in bad need of updating and renovation. I have never seen a more tiny shower and I have been on many other cruises. The pillows on my bed were thin and hard and needed to be thrown away and replaced years ago. The food in the main dining room has gone way downhill. Probably because they are too interested in pushing the other restaurants where there is a $$ upcharge to go.  I wouldn't recommend this ship

Went for rest and relaxation. Bermuda is not what I'd call a "destination" We arrived around 2/3 and public transportation  shut down by 8.  Day  2 - Ferries etc do not run until 8 a. Had to be back on ship by 2.Not much time to do or see anything. Bermuda is so small that there was really not much to see.

We enjoyed our cruise with adult children and grandchildren to Bermuda. We were too late booking this cruise to get the staterooms we wanted. The ship is old. There are issues with the air conditioning in the staterooms---either freezing or too warm. The service in the buffet has disappeared. No one is there to serve your drinks or refill your drink needs. I was disappointed in the overall quality of the food on the ship. We ate in the dining room, the Chops Grill and in the Windjammer buffet. The staff are friendly and sincerely want to please you. The grandkids loved the rock climbing wall, shuffleboard, pool and hot tubs. I learned how important it is to book early and get the rooms you need to be truly comfortable!

I loved the service.  The dining room and the room attendants were wonderful.  The RC singer dancers are very talented, but wow. I don't know who directed them but, the direction in the productions was really weak.  I wish there were a hop on, hop off bus in Boston.  The only other point would have been to have more TVs covering the Olympics.  RC might lack a little flexibility in taking advantage of World Wide events such as the Olympics.

great cruise, great boat, great staff!! lots of fun, good deal with an interior stateroom but just be sure you aren't claustrophobic.  It's comfortable but closed in

Loved the ports of call!  It would be hard to pick a favorite.  Cruise staff in the dining room and our cabin attendant were great.  The dealers (with the exception of Julien) were surly at best and rude on occasion.   Got very tired of having the specialty restaurants pushed all the time.  And WiFi. And drink packages. And photos. And anything else RCI can think of to get more money.   Not an all-inclusive vacation anymore.

Seeing a part of the country that I would have never driven to. All the ship's personnel were kind and eager to please the guests aboard. All the food was great!

the best part of this cruise was Canada and the entertainment.  Every night the entertainment was very enjoyable.  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  The excursions in Boston and Portland were not very good.  We did the freedom walking tour in Boston, most of the time we couldn't hear our guide and he gave wrong  historical facts quite a few times.  We got off the ship in Portland and had to be back on about 3:30.... It was Sunday and hardly anything opened i.e.; museum, Longfellow house or Victorian house till 11:00, 12:00 or 1:00. We ended up having an early lunch, waiting for things to open then only having time to do one thing. We also had 4 separate plumbing problems which we handled quickly. I bought the soda package and it stopped working 2 days before the end of our trip. I tried to refill and the machine would say, no more refills available . It wasn't real convenient either. 

This was our first cruise, and we had a great time. Bermuda was fabulous and the crew of the ship couldn't have been more attentive. i only wish we'd booked a longer one. 5 Stars!

Loved our trip!  The ship could use an overhaul, showing it's age.  Would have liked to be in Bermuda for a bit longer, stop was less than 24 hours....  Bermuda is beautiful, terrific beaches!

Easy access to the port in Baltimore.  (Wish there were more.)  Parking was right at the docks, at a reasonable price.  The Bermuda destination was lovely.  Great beaches!  Good service on-board.

The pool (outside) is inadequate  for the number of passengers.  More time in Bermuda would have been nice. 

I've been on Grandeur twice and both times there were engine troubles that slowed the ship down significantly. (Makes you wonder...might be time for an over-haul!

Our favorite part of the cruise were the entertainment on the boat. The cruise offered numerous shows and check the guest entertained. I would definitely use Royal Caribbean in the future for cruise vacations 

Great Gatsby Main Dining Room:  Head waiter very understanding to gluten-free eaters and brought multiple gluten-free desserts to our table for us to sample.  Delicious! 

Staterooms on Deck 3:  Carpet looks worn

Stateroom Bathroom Deck 3:  Remodeled and looks great

Crew Members:  All very friendly and had ready smiles for the guests.  FUN!

Enjoyed the Great Gatsby Dining nightly very much, although had less time to just relax at the pool as we need to wash up and dress nicer for the formal dining. However, the food is so worth it, just prepare to gain a pound or two after 5 days. We then went to the shows after dinner, pretty good shows. My teenage children went to night club and karaoke, we all had fun.

The Windjammer lunch buffet could be crowded, needed to to look for tables most of the time. Food there was okay but not impressive.

I would absolutely recommend this cruise vacation to friends and family.
