Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Wonderful cruise! Had the best Manager along with Head and Assistant table waiters. They went out of their way in so many ways for our large group of friends. Thanks to everyone staff member on the Granduer!

The children and teen programs/clubs was a wonderful part if the trip. They really enjoyed it.

One thing I would like to point on this cruise at least is that the photo opportunities (or lack thereof) and the cost were definitely a HUGE TURNOFF for us. We had 8 people, 4 staterooms. My wife and one son were in a room and I and one son were in another since my kids were not 21. Our friends had their 2 kids in a state room since they were 21 and then them. When it came time to purchase the limited number of photos, the packages had to be per stateroom or if you have young kids then as long as the adult claiming the kids was buying the photos, then you could potentially buy a photo of your child. However, in my case, if I wanted the picture of my wife that I really liked, it could not be included in my package because she was not in my stateroom. We essentially had to make sure that me or my 2 kids was in the photo to have it as part of a group. My friends were in a real predicament since if they wanted the pictures of their kids they would have to do separate packages. All in all, the packages for all photos were about $250 each which meant that if we truly wanted all the photos, we'd have to spend $1,000. My friends' experience on a different Royal cruise was way different. Other friends have said the same. We were hoping that we could purchase all the photos in one or two groups so $500 at the most plus we were hoping to get them digitally. Nope! No digital photos AT ALL. We had to practically beg the photographer to take group photos of us at dinner and other than dinner, formal, and embarking, they really never took any other photos. So there was definitely not $250 worth of photos for the entire group, most certainly not $500 worth and I laughed at the poor staff member who told me it would be $1,000 for "all" the photos. This was the single most disappointing thing about our cruise. I would recommend a bigger ship especially if you have younger kids and I would recommend that if you do any port stops that you choose stops that are overnight. Even with our overnight stop in Bermuda, I still wanted more time. Our other friends have taken one where you stop for several hours and that just seems way too quick. Take fewer ports with longer stays and then go on another cruise or something to get to the other ports. Unless all you want is to say you've been there.

This was truly a wonderful cruise. I had not been to Bermuda in over 10 years and the changes. The changes are really nice. The country is beautiful with friendly people. The beaches are all very nice. We toured the lighthouse and the city of Hamilton. I highly recommend Keith Simmons, 441-325-2233 for anyone with wheelchair accessible transportation needs. Keith is absolutely wonderful and caring.

This was our first cruise . We are so happy that we pick this one.

A great cruise. Ship, staff and locations were great. Would do it over again. Love the ship and staff fantastic

We took the 9 day New England cruise in August. Having taken a cruise on the Oasis in May, we were curious how we would like this ship. It turns out we liked it better! I had to hunt around to see the ocean on Oasis but not in Grandeur. There are beautiful views from pracitcally every public space. The crew was absolutely amazing. I cant wait to cruise on Lady G again soon!

Royal Carribian was marginal compared to other cruise lines Too many gratuities for EVERYTHING Poor entertainment, not best bang for your buck for sure

Loved this shop ! Was a great cruse overall . I would 100% go back to do this cruise again. Great food great staff everything was great. Royal Caribbean all the way

Over all we had a great time. Had we known about the shops closing early in both Bermuda and Nassau we would have planned our excursions differently, and brought a credit card with us to the Atlantis as they do not take cash. While this ship is an older ship, it is kept immaculate, the staff particularly in the Windjammer and Great Gatsby dinning room awesome, and the food quality and quantity wonderful.

This is a wonderful ship with really friendly staff. My only issue is there weren't many family activities to do with young children. There is Adventure Ocean, but we had only a few things to do with the whole family.

It was a good cruise. We enjoyed our time, but things seemed a little old. Don’t be taken by the shopping guides. You definitely don’t get better prices in Bermuda or the Bahamas. Even though you don’t pay for tax, they hike up the prices.

We were a party of 12, ranging in age from 15 - 55. We ALL had fun! You can do as much, or as little, as you like. 9 nights was the perfect mix of exciting port of call, and lazy days by the pool.

Excellent vacation all around. Food and service was great! Lots to do or just relax. Loved Romar and Ketut from dining room. Excellent friendly service! Ien our stateroom attendant was just the best. Only complaint was bars closing early at the pools had to go down 5 floors to get drinks and mixed drinks not shaken/stirred which made them not tasty. Resorted to wine, beer or frozen drinks. Will sail again def with Royal 💙

This was our first cruise with Royal , our family chose it because we could drive to the port. We were not disappointed. Great family trip.

Completed a 9 day northeast cruise out of Baltimore with stops in Portland, Bar Harbor, Boston, Halifax, and Saint John in July 2018. We have been aboard Grandeur in July 2016. The ship was very clean with the dining room chairs being replaced the week before our cruise. Certain areas showed age but overall Grandeur was grand lady. The AC was working well keeping the interior cool despite the heat wave the engulfed the east coast. We did not visit a specialty restaurant this cruise and truly enjoyed the service and variety of the MDR. This was our second cruise as Diamond members but our first that we exercised our perks including the Diamond Lounge and concierge. KK, our concierge, was extremely helpful assisting my wife in booking spa services and well as sorting out a mischarge on our account. My wife and I both appreciated that the spa workers did not push Elemis as militantly as it has been on other cruises. Overall great experience! I’m sure we’ll be aboard Grandeur again before too long!

This was our 2nd time on Grandeur of the Seas and it was even better than our 1st trip. The staff was fantastic and really made us feel special. The ship is well-maintained and was a pleasure to live on for 9 days. The food was very good, although I gained nearly 8 pounds (not sure what they put in it - LOL).

Overall awesome. But not much for teens to do, Water is weird and windjammer doesn’t have much variety in the food category.

Great 9 day cruise. The dinning room waiters Natesh and Linshwan were amazing.

Very different feeling on this ship, compared to sailing in Europe. Pool deck and bar was a lot quieter, quizzes were busier. Everything finished pretty early - other than the Crown Lounge, everything is shut by 11pm, and the ship is deserted if you're wandering after midnight. Very friendly though.
