Grandeur of the Seas is the ultimate Caribbean adventure. It’s the perfect blend of unique experiences onboard and unbelievable shores, like the lush islands of the Southern Caribbean, the crystal-clear waters of St. Maarten, and Mexico's aquamarine sinkholes that make Grandeur of the Seas one of the best intimate cruise ships for families and couples.

One bag got lost on arrival, a second bag got lost on departure, had to take a cab to the airport on departure due to delay caused by lost bag. Main theatre does not have a loop system for hard of hearing persons.

Does not have the newest anything on this boat. However, if you’re looking for just getting away and not extravagant amenities this is the ship! The staff was beyond friendly and the food was great!

was disappointed that we did not get to cocacay. Think they should have a "plan B" in place when they have to deviate from schedule. Could have spent that day in the sun at Nassau.

We LOVED our cruise on the Grandeur of the Seas to Bermuda! One of our best vacations so far. The staff on Grandeur of the Seas were exceptional! They went above and beyond to make sure you had everything you needed and were very helpful. The food was delicious! Lots of variety! I would highly recommend this cruise ship, as well as a trip to Bermuda. Bermuda is absolutely beautiful! A must see!

Most of our cruising experience has been on Princess ships and while the Granduer of the Seas was ok it doesn’t compare to the higher level of service, food, entertainment and activities offered by Princess.

the hardship of walking those long piers at the ports of call. Other cruise lines have provided transport to the buses and shopping. It was very difficult. for me.Made me wonder if I could continue to cruise.. I actually had my first massage on a ship and had my nails done at the Spa also! We traveled with another couple we met on a previous .cruise 2 years ago... We found the noise level of the music everywhere just a bit over the top...By the end of the day we were grateful for the quiet of our stateroom..We enjoyed the .Excursions for the beaches(.so beautiful ),the staff very pleasant..The crew was very welcoming..

The dining room staff were great, very professional and also the room service. The shows and activities were also very good. The excursions were very interesting and had great guides and bus drivers for the excursions. The best stops for me were Bar Harbor and Halifax. Interesting to meet more guests with the open sitting for the breakfast times.

We stayed on board with the Keasts the morning that the ship visited their island. Turns out, we made the RIGHT decision! We essentially had the ship to ourselves, and everyone who went ashore complained: it was hot and crowded, with long lines; plus, you have to take a boat to shore and back. So grateful that we made the decision that we did!

We had a great trip; the ship is manageable. The excursions were well planned and a offered a variety that met most people's choices. The ship's crew and staff were outstanding, and well organized as to boarding and disembarking procedures. Small mishaps such as the temporary early morning lack of water, 4-6am on the second day out did not mar the outing. Problems will occur and this was manageable. Captain kept us informed about potential weather problems and handled two occasions when passengers had to be picked up by helicopter off Cape Hatteras and once again entering the Chesapeake Bay by patrol boat extremely well. We were on time at all ports.

Had a great time. More kids than what I like to have on a trip (Over a 100) My Time Dining was great. First time using it. Did not feel rushed to get there. Service was wonderful. Have to have patience for there are many older adults (I am one of them too), some move slower and tend to block the paths of walking.

On purpose we were testing the description of effort and distance of excursions. The 7anda half hourBoston, Lexington concord and Harvard was nouted .25 mile walking. The back bay harbor stop was much more. It was uphill, around the church, around the area and then backdown on the other side. Much more than.25 mile, not flat and cobblestone. Interesting and we did it slow but still would be too much for some folks. All the other excursions I took could have been easily handled by folks. On the lighthouse tour the groundfloor of the boat was comfortable, warm, and you could see the shore easily. ALl the other excursions we took could have been enjoyed by those with limited mobility. The Windjammer buffet I enjoyed. I loved being able to pick and choose menu items. The variety was much better than the dining room.some dishes could have been a little warmer. The soup variety was outstanding lunch and dinner. I have never had such hot coffee anywhere, including my own kitchen. I am looking forward to having the Geneva alumni trip onboard next year. One could only hope for such perfect weather as we had. Smooth seas Sunny days and 80 degrees in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We even had The Blue angels practicing for their Fleet Week air show , while we were still docked and doing our safety drills. I think I prefer a smaller ship but I adjusted. The distance to the elevators for events kept us in good physical condition. We were aft.

As has been usual for Royal Caribbean ships (our 4th combined) great service, cabin stewards and dining room staff extremely friendly - makes you feel at home and very important. Somewhere around 1200 passengers and 800 crew - can check on that for exact figures. Really nice entertainment, ship is clean and stays that way. Don't expect to win at the casino - I'm guessing payouts are really low compared to Vegas or Indian casinos. Wastes some time though, so you get what you pay for. Weather was great, enjoyed all but one of the ports and excursions (Boston, Portland and bar Harbor ME, Saint John and Halifax Canada - Portland I didn't like much) Go anyway - be treated like a King or Queen, food is great in dining room.

I missed some updates because the announcements were not broadcast inside the state room. The shower curtain needs to be longer so the water does not go outside of the shower stall. The staff went above and beyond to assist. Channel 16 should also give the temperature. The late night cafe should stay open later. When you go to the Viking Lounge and have fun you may want to get a snack.

The cruse was nice:. food good, service really good, care of our room great, plenty of seats all over and rooms, as expected, small but plenty of cleverly designed storage space The material we recieved before the trip was seriously lacking. It did not include things we have come to expect like details about what to bring, what to wear, information to make it possible to plan excursions in advance, a general description of what the weather and daily routine will be like . The tiny website we did recieve had lots of information on an awkard and difficult to use platform with information that could not be copied for planning.

We booked this cruise to Bermuda with another couple. If drinking, partying, and eating around the clock are your thing, then this cruise is for you! We were able to find quieter areas around the ship, but they were at a premium and many times returned to our stateroom balcony to relax and watch the ocean which became rather boring after awhile. Too many days at sea with no land, no other ships, not even a seagull or two passing by to alleviate the sameness. If there had been an opportunity to borrow movies to watch in the room or to engage in a few activities that were not insanely frivolous would have been nice. That said, the food in the dining room is good, service is exemplary, and the ship is clean, even if a tad shopworn-looking.

Stateroom attendant - Evangeline Manzanero - was fantastic. She was very pleasant and a pleasure to talk to. Did an excellent job cleaning up after us, and checking and organizing our stateroom. She deserves an award. In general, all staff personnel, including waiters, waitresses, etc were excellent and very pleasant and helpful. Overall a great trip. We're looking at other cruises and trying to decide when and to where our next trip on Royal Caribbean will be. We'll be back soon.
