Review summary

The cruise overall was nice. They do NOT enforce handwashing or hand sanitizer in the buffet. Everyone on the ship was sneezing and coughing into their hands and touching t everything on the ship. Most of the people on the ship seemed sick. We never could get into a show despite trying to reserve daily. The buffet was chaos. The main dining was just bad. The specialty restaurants were all amazing. The best bar on the ship is the English Pub!

Cabin / Stateroom

We had an extra large balcony cabin. It was nice, but the balcony was unusable due to smokers.

Grandiosa is a beautiful ship. Would rather sail on her outside of Europe.

At the entrance of the restaurant(s) and buffet, there is always staff with disinfecting spray. Unfortunately, people can not be forced.

Don’t understand why people are still coughing/sneezing into their hands and not their arms and are so adamant about not washing their hands or sanitizing! So many sicknesses would be prevented with simple hygiene

Sorry this cruise wasn’t the best. Thank you for your review.
