We did Grandeur waay back in 2014-2015 and honestly it's what got us hooked on cruising. Our kids, (ranging from pre-teen to 18 at the time), who are the type who constantly need to be stimulated learned to stop and watch the waves and relax. They all had a great time and we have been on more than a few cruises since. In fact, they said they thought Anthem was just a little too big for them but still doable. They think the sweet spot is Freedom class or NCL's Breakaway class and I tend to agree. We love the more relaxed/relaxing atmosphere of the smaller ships.

We had considered sailing Grandeur of The Seas a couple years ago with my daughter & grandkids. I started asking questions about the ship & I was told that I might wanna consider another ship because this particular ship had no play areas for the kids. Glad we took their advice.

Royce whispering about the hole in the shirt, and Reign sending Ms. Lynette to make roti on the ship gave me a good laugh! 😂 Great job rock-climbing, Reign! Thank you guys for your feedback on the pool/lack of water area for kids, and your feedback on the tiny arcade. Sigh. So, basically, it’s an old ship, which is probably better than no ship… not necessarily great for families with children… but great casino!

I did Grandeur of the Seas last year for my birthday in January and it wasn't bad because of the various destinations we go to see but on board, it was quite boring due to the fact that it is an older ship. The food was pretty bad, especially at the main dining i.e. the great gatsby and it felt like the chefs had to cater to the taste of the white folk (no offense) and not the Caribbean crowd even though we embarked in Barbados (we are Guyanese by the way) because we knew for a fact that with a Jamaican head chef, he can cook. we ordered curry goat from him and he made it, especially for us and we enjoyed it thoroughly but what sailing on an older ship taught me was never to sail on an older ship again. the BReakfast and lunch at the wind jammer were great honestly at that time and i loved that guy that always says "WELCOMMEEEEE TO WINJAMMER!!" HE IS the life of windjammer and he always remembered our names, not sure if he is still there.

Itinerary: Day 1 Tampa Day 2 at sea Day 3 George Town, Grand Cayman Day 4 Cozumel, Mexico Day 5 at sea Day 6 Tampa Any hot tips to share? We are still deciding on drink packages and WiFi. Does the main pool deck area and pool get overcrowded? We like to layout in the sun and go in pool to cool off. Do people play the towel game like they do at all-inclusive resorts?
