Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I have cruised with Royal Carribbean twice before.  And this was my 5th cruise.Felt the service in the restaurant was outstanding. Loved Chops and the food quality there.  Waiter was amazing and he was new.

Room attendant was good.  Did not see big improvements on the room side of the renovations they did. 

Was as very disappointed in the quality of the shows. Comedians were OK. Second night show was great, the rest were mediocre. Expected more from RC.

Loved going to Bermuda. Great destination.

First, let me say the staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient in all regards. My second impression is that this boat is looking tired and dated. It's very clean and adequately appointed, but numerous little details belie its age. The entertainment wasn't particularly exceptional but amusing. The dining experience wasn't bad at all but the menus seemed a bit retro. The specialty restaurant we dined in had a pleasant atmosphere but the food seemed like only a slight upgrade from the standard dining room fare. Our stateroom was adequately comfortable but Spartan. The emphasis on this trip was value over glamour, particularly if you're savvy to the numerous extra cost items.

Fun times, nice ship.... Excellent crew! We loved cruising out of Baltimore.  Also staying overnight at port was also incredible. We loved that aspect.

Easy check in and boarding.  Stateroom clean and nice.

 Windjammer food variety and quality was very good.  Main dining food was inconsistent.  Some good and some bad.  (Are they trying to get you to buy their specialty restaurants - where the food is consistently very good) ?  

One excursion that I bought on their website (pre-cruise) was cancelled because we wouldn't be in port on time.  Really??  Then why advertise it?   And why couldn't they email me to tell me in advance that s was cancelled so I could switch excursions or days?  I am not happy that we were not notified until we were onboard the ship.  

Entertainment and activities were good.  Lots of choices.  

We experienced good service, but some friends got really slow service in the main dining room some nights.

Our cruise experience was excellent.  Everything went as described.  Food was extraordinary.  Dining room service- could not have had better and our state room was clean & everything kept in order.  Could not have asked for anything more. Thanks RC.

The cruise was nice but there were a lot of rude people working on the ship. The lady working the morning sift at the park cafe was rude every morning. I stood back and watch...think it was maybe just me or she was having a bad day. No, she was rude to everyone. The guy working the excursion was just as bad. and on the last day of the cruise you can forget about the workers in the Spa even saying hello. 

The ice cream freezer was broke so there was no ice cream for the first four days on the ship.I heard about 5 different people complaining about several things over the course of the cruise as well. 

As for the food....The same thing is served at the buffet as in the dinning room it all just depends on if you want to get dressed up or not. The waiter we had was super nice! However, the waiter we had on the morning that we got off the ship not so much...rude. I have been on lots of cruises and I can say this is the first time I have come across rude workers.  

Unfortunately I became ill as soon as I boarded. It took three days to get over the vomiting and diarrhea. I didn't feel like participating in any of the onboard activities. Once we arrived in Haiti I felt better and was able to enjoy the wonderful beach at Labadee. We didn't spend enough time in Puerto Rico to do anything but shop for souvenirs. 

This was my first cruise and  we would have booked another trip, but we could not

decide on where we wanted to go. Your staff high energy and personality are contagious.  We  were very pleased with your  cleanliness, organization, timeliness, attitude, cheerfulness and your astute supervisors Tenisha and the Turkish guy .He had a very keen eye with much  vigilance    not only over his   staff but also with the guest.  I   began  with but switched to we because my travelling

friend Sheila had gone on a cruise prior in 1994. We share the same ideas  that this was  a wonderful experience. Most of all we did not have to search for our luggage. You are super

My wife and I enjoy "Cruising " from Baltimore because it is easy to travel the relative short distance from our home in Delaware.

The seas were calm for most of the cruise. There was only one night where the seas turned snotty.

The meals in the dining room were great for the most part. There were a couple dinners which were average. The Waiter and his Assistant treated Us like Royalty.

Most of the entertainment on board was great. They can do without the Flamenco dancers.

We had a wonderful time on the Grandeur of the Seas.  The service and entertainment were excellent, as was the food.  They had plenty of activities on board and plenty of shore excursions while at Port.  We would cruise with them again. 

Very disappointed in several things on the ship.  The food was not too good.  We went to all of the places to eat, the original dining restaurant, which was ok; the buffet was much better.  Then we went to the Japanese restaurant, and we love the Japanese restaurant near our home, but did not enjoy this one. Then proceeded to the "Italian" restaurant and was extremely disappointing.  The last one, can't remember the name, but it was about "chills" and that was the best dinner onboard. 

We both were very upset and couldn't wait to get back to Baltimore.

Crew and ship were great.  Ports of call were great except for the vendors in Labadee. DON"T go out back of the "APPROVED" market Hall, they are vultures. Our room was spacious enough but not so clean and our cabin guy wasn't too enthusiastic. He did what was asked of him but I feel we shouldn't have to ask him to run the vacuum or fill the soap or tissues. We finally got clean sheets on the 5th day after we asked for them. definitely suited for the scooter and walker/wheel chair geriatric crowd.

The ship was older but well maintained and spotless.  The food and crew were excellent. It was a very relaxing trip.  The ship was a smaller one, so it was easy to get around and not get lost.  The food was excellent.  The only restaurant we did not try was the Japanese one.  We all had a wonderful time.

Got the feeling  I was on a training ship, so many Chinese Nationals training for return to Chinese company after six months I didn't expect to be on a ship with so few qualified waiters and assistant waiters.  Our waiter was great but two nites he had no assistant this is bad management.

For my first cruise, it was wonderful. The excursions on the islands were so much fun! Swimming in the ocean was my favorite. The dining room staff in the Gatsby dining room were great. The servers for our table, Antonio and Antonio, were very professional and entertaining. The bartender at R Bar in the Centrum, Erdi, was quick with our drinks and never made a mistake.

RCI is continually doing away with amenities that once made this line first class. They are really pushing the additional restaurants that charge an extra fee to dine there; which is why I feel the dining room food has changed.  This cruise even in the dining room they wanted you to get the whole Maine lobster and a special filet steak at an additional price.  Every night they mentioned this.  One of their ships was made larger by making the cabins even smaller.  The beds are so low suitcases don't fit under them anymore. I noticed in the dining room that the waitstaff was new (within a few months) to RCI.  They have again increased the gratuities. If they paid their employees the proper amount they wouldn't have to take the gratuities from the passengers and then share them not only with the employees on your ship but with other RCI ships.  

we were treated with very little respect during dinner in the dining area kept forgetting my wife to offer drink, roll, just her there was 10 to our table . When reservations were made I got asked if the trip was for a particular purpose I stated our 35th anniversary it was never mentioned. The food on the ship was mediocre each morning was same stuff not a lot offered in late evening that is not what I remember from our last cruise. We took a longer trip cause we have been so satisfied in the past but this was not at all a fun trip. I will say the bartenders were amazing polite took the time to see what you needed and were pleasant. I have booked an Alaska cruise I hope this experience will be better. 

Cruise ship itinerary was good.

The cruise staff excellent 

The cruise entertainment good 

The overall cruise enjoyed 

Yes I Will book another cruise with Royal Carribean

It was a great time.  With Great Food, Great Entertainment, And LOTS OF FUN.  We had met lots of wonderful people on this ship.  All workers were very helpful and nice.

But the food selection was less then average in the windjammer. Activities seem to be spaced just apart enough that you must leave one early in order to get a seat at the next. Only has one drink special per day, unlike carnival that had a different menu of drinks per bar, and didn't have the ingredients for one. Make sure you specifically  ask the on shore excursion desk if you need to purchase ride tickets and/or excursion tickets.
