Always except for surgery

I love formal nights and my DH puts up with wearing a tux just for me--its the only time I ever get to wear a ball gown and I feel like a princess....!

My DH and I sailed with Grandeur twice in 2008...every night they would ask Mr. Ted, want your usual rum and coke? and Mrs. Ted, drink of the day?

We loved it! We are sailing on Grandeur now in March 2016 and are very excited!

Prayers for your family's situation! I am shocked at some of the insensitive comments made here. This could have happened to any of us---the OP just was explaining frustration.

Just some quick advice about San Juan. We left out of San Juan last year. Absolutely use a porter at the airport if you are flying in and use a porter after you leave the ship.

The San Juan Airport is very very crowded, undergoing renovations, and is small. It was nuts when we were there.

The porter breezed up past the customs line after getting off the ship and we went through Customs itself very quickly. I know the other passengers who were waiting in line were not to happy.

Welcome to Royal! The shows are arranged so that early dining and late dining is available for everyone. If you choose My Time dining, just note the times of the shows (shown twice a night except the first night) so you can make them.

There are comedians usually on the ship. There are sometimes "Adult Only" shows later at night after the shows.

If you really want some hearty laughs, make sure to go to the Quest. I can't tell you anymore about the Quest, but it is not for children (adults only)...what happens at the Quest, stays at the Quest!

I want to try a Zombie!

My DH and I love meeting new people----!! It would be sad not to continue with this cruise tradition!!!!!

We actually got stopped by a man in San Juan and we had read your post. I told him this scam is all over cruise critic and he was subject to US law for attempting to defraud us. He got furious and stomped away like a little baby.

Thanks for posting this!

My DH and I thoroughly enjoyed a swim with the stingrays excursion in the Caymans....it was awesome!

On one RCI cruise my sister-in-law had to give up her plastic knitting needles...she was not happy as she was knitting an afgan.

Here are my three:

Coffee

Cavier

Dark Chocolate

I obviously don't like bitter items. I will try almost anything once, but the thought of eating any type of testicles kind of grosses me out. I would try a bite....maybe...LOL.

Weirdly, I like kale which some people describe as bitter to them, I think it has more of a peppered taste.

We have booked the Wingate Wyndham by the airport in Baltimore because the offer a park and cruise for a ten night cruise, free hot breakfast, free internet, free round trip shuttle....hotel had good reviews and it looks very nice.

Thanks! We haven't been on her as Diamonds and it was before she was stretched. I love the size of the ship and when we were on her last, the staff was fantastic!

Has anyone visited the Grandeur of the Seas Diamond Lounge? Could you please describe its location on the ship? How was the service? Were the snacks good?

My DH and I have always brought a case of bottled water on RCI and Celebrity with no issue over the past 11 years...is this something new?

still triple digits!

Oh my sides hurt....lol

It looks like you are getting all sorts of different answers. My two cents is that my husband and I are diamond and his parents are gold. We travel together both on RCI and Celebrity. They have not been turned away when they get in the Diamond line with us.

Most of the time is goes super fast no matter what line you are in--

Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello fellow cruisers! Someone please explain to us what we get for drinks in the Diamond Lounge for free. I heard on this board you only get three alcoholic drinks but they can be in any bar on the ship and upon boarding, the three credits are loaded on the sea pass. I also read it was unlimited drinks in the Diamond Lounge with a limited menu.

Going on Grandeur in March after being on Celebrity for five years. Can someone please clarify for us?

I like formal night so I probably will continue to dress up!

Review will be posted later this week

We bring diet mountain dew packs on all our cruises. We just check it in our empty luggage bag.

We are headed there in 9 days. Your beautiful photographs made my heart flutter!!! Thank you!!!! You made my day!
