    Grandeur of the Seas faulty info

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    I haven't sailed RCI for over 20 yrs.I think their website is difficult to navigate. I made reservations for a Jan 6th cruise on Grandeur of the Seas. The cruise consultant said the cabin on deck 7 had cabins above and below it. I just happened to check and on deck 6 just below our cabin is the lounge where they have music etc. Please someone tell me that in cabin 7636 that the beat of the music from below doesn't interfere with sleep! The consultant had told me that below were only conference rooms and never mentioned a lounge with music .I would not have booked had I known but of course we have made final payment and have paid for airfare.

     

    Hi -

    I know it's been a while, but would love to hear how did that cabin turn out? I have it next month. Thanks!

    Just off the Grandeur... pros/cons, and willing to answer any questions!

    • They had dance classes almost every day in the Centrum
       
    • "Cruisin" Susan Adams was the CD in July, but you should check out the running thread for the latest information (they rotate every four months or so)
       
    • The food and service was pretty good almost everywhere except for Giovanni's Table, but Chops was outstanding
       
    • I have all of the Cruise Compasses saved from our nine day Bermuda and Bahamas cruise, but I am not home right now, I will post them later if you want
       
    • For us, the cruise was 10/10, I would highly recommend EXCEPT if you want a balcony cabin
       

     

     

     

    Hi -

    Did you get a chance to post your Cruise Compasses? Would love to see.

    Thanks much!

    I logged into my Discover account and didn't see it. Where do I need to look to find it?

     

    Nice! I booked through RC and weeks later (last wk) I remembered my Discover rewards. I called the Discover travel agent and they were able to transfer my booking so I could take advantage of the rewards. Since the entire booking has to be put on Discover card, they had to charge my card for the already made deposit ($900) and have RC refund my AMEX for the previously paid deposit.

    Nice Rewards:

    - $200 - for 100 Discover points (12 day cruise)

    - $100 - OBC from the TA

    - $100 - 5% Cashback ($2000 cruise)

    Keeping in touch with other passengers

    I can only speak for our own use of walkie-talkies -- they worked fine.....we have used them on ships as big as Oasis class. As far as 'annoying' to other passengers: it is NOT our intention to have a long conversation on the walkie-talkie (some people do and that could be annoying)....it is just to let someone know where I am or ask where someone from my group is.

     

     

    Paulette - I agree...

    My November Grandeur cruise will be our 19th, but our first with RCI.

    I was very surprised:o and disappointed:( that they don't have a texting/communications app!!

    Another internet/texting question....I'm totally confused

    If you have a wifi package, you will be able to use wifi calling, assuming your android supports it, I am an iphone user so not sure about your android. I know on my iphone, wifi calling is under settings>phone>wifi calling. I just enable wifi calling, put my phone in airplane mode, enable wifi and connect to Voom. I can then make calls and texts over wifi. Since you already bought voom, it doesn't make sense to pay to text via cellular if that phone supports wifi calling.

     

     

     

    Never knew this! Wow! Thanks!

    Carnival Pride Dailies

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Hello:

     

    Does anyone know what the daily activities are for the Carnival Pride? I'm sailing in March and I'd love to know what each night will be...white party, formal, etc.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Konnichiwa76 -

    I don't have very recent "dailies", however I have FunTimes from my Pride Oct (2016) sailing. We were scheduled to go to the Caribbean, but due to weather, we were re-routed to Canada. We (my husband, sister and niece:hearteyes:) still had a great time. I think while there may have been some adjustments, most activities went on as originally scheduled.

     

    Hope these scans are helpful! Have a great cruise!!

    I agree, very available, and easy to understand. I even mentioned as much to him during the Diamond event saying he was the most approachable of any captain since our Carnival Spirit Alaskan cruise. He then asked me which year, I replied he paused and said, that was because it was me...... Got a good chuckle...:D

     

     

    Anyone know this captain's name?

    I don't think I've ever paid much attention to the captain, but I hope this one is around for another 2 months. We sail 3/26/17 and my brother is getting married on ship. [emoji4]
