One of RCL's oldest. Needs to retire.

We've been on the Grandeur years ago. I understand it was due to be retired, but saved at the last minute. Please! Retire! It shows it's age everywhere right down to the shower curtains which leak everywhere. As with most lines, service and food keep declining in the name of profits. If you sell to the trailer park boys, surprise, they're gonna book. The 350+ pounders were in abundance, ...

I’ve been driving to Port Canaveral for cruises for the past two years and was glad to find a Royal Caribbean ship from Tampa, where I live! Embarking was easy. Disembarking was difficult and took over an hour to get off the ship once in line. Because of Hurricane Tammy, we were unable to go to Nassau and CocoCay. We went to Cozumel instead. For families, this was a big disappointment. The ...

Qualifications: this is our 9th cruise with RCCL since 2002. We've been on every class ship from Oasis to Empress. We did not use the main dining hall for dinner, we'd bought the specialty restaurant package so we cannot comment on the Main Dining. One irritation we found booking this cruise was that pretty much anyone could buy most of the perks of point status (we're Diamond) like wifi, show ...

The Grandeur of the Seas is the oldest and smallest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet, so it doesn’t have all of the latest features that you would find on the Wonder of the Seas, but we had a great time cruising to CocoCay and Nassau with two sea days. It is very important when planning a cruise to know what you are purchasing. The disappointing reviews for Grandeur mostly come from people who ...

Worst cruise I’ve ever been on . First time giving Royal Caribbean a try and I regret spending money booking this cruise . Food was horrible. It was so crowded and no where to sit to eat . It was full of seniors not that it’s a problem but when you have kids a seniors boat isn’t a good choice . Old lady pooped in the pool and jacuzzi they closed it . No activities to do extremely boring . The ...

Small, very clean, comfortable ship, you feel connected to the ocean. Weekend, value-priced cruise attracted all types. Musicians were outstanding. Food quality has declined since January when I sailed this ship, going to the main dining room has lost its excitement. Service and attitude were very good. Suite benefits were very helpful. The lounge itself is a plush escape and ...

The ship itself is very well maintained and there are only cosmetic touchups. The staff as ALWAYS were great, excellent service throughout the ship. Yes, my biggest complaint was my fellow passengers! I gave up watching the nightly music entertainment when well after midnight there were several unattended toddlers roaming around the stage floor every night. Rude, loud whistling, shouting audience. ...

Because of the stops. Key West, Coco Cay, Nassau, and Bimini. Great talent on board. Room guy was great. Ship is old but wearing well. Going into rehab in March we were told. This ship usually does shorter cruises but this particular week it was 7 days. The food was mostly good but two times the meat was tougher than we are used to on Royal. Getting on and off the ship at all stops was a breeze. ...

We chose this cruise ship because we wanted to sail out of Tampa. Entering the port was very easy walking on the ship we didn’t notice much besides, it was a much smaller ship then we prefer. Then the horror starts we get to our room and realize AC does not work. Temperature outside was 101°. We also noticed the room was not well-maintained was the room number one of there Jr. Suites. We told our ...
