grandeur of the seas cabin 2018

wondering if this cabin has port hole windows or a regular window. It is quite far forward and I am a little worried.

Most likely two porthole windows. We had them and I kind of liked them. It was like looking through binoculars......

Actually I believe that stateroom has the single larger window v. the two smaller portholes.

No worries, leaveitallbehind is correct. Cabin 2018 has a window, not portholes. From the RCI website: Staterooms 3000-3014, 3500-3514, 2008-2014, & 2508-2514 have two portholes instead of a window. Enjoy your cruise, I had the pleasure of sailing on the Grandeur's inaugural back in 1996. Loved it! :cool:

We were on that sailing as well - and have sailed on her twice since. Very nice ship and crew!

Thanks...I'll have to remember that. I liked the portholes, but would rather have the one big window.

Gwen :)

Thank you all for the replies. I feel a lot better. Have to keep the wife happy.:D

God those look awful. I have never had 2 portholes in my entire cruise life. I have a feeling that it's just a step up from an inside cabin. Too late to change now. I guess I'll have to just grin and bear it.;p

In the good old times the suites on ships like Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth had portholes like this.

I must, of course, leap to the defense of the inner cabins. We would rather, when the budget allows, the balcony suites, but when having an inner cabin, we spend so little time in the room (outside of naps and sleeping at night) that having a stateroom window or not really didn't matter much. We could usually be found near a window away from traffic. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks for your response. I am at the cruising stage now, where I spend a little more time in my cabin than when I first started cruising. The portholes may be okay, but that picture just made it look like the room was dark and small. I'll wait until I get there to see for myself. I have a feeling I'll be spending more time out of the cabin on this cruise, than in the cabin.

Just booked our Sept cruise yesterday and we are in 2018. Any issues with it? I'd prefer to be further aft, but I'm guessing it will be fine.

We've stayed in 2015 twice and had no issues. It was nice in the morning to ride the closest elevator straight up to breakfast on level 9. Everything else, as always, requires a bit of walking, no matter where you stay. It is amazing how much walking a cruise ship requires.

You're right about the walking. Can you imagine how many more steps you would be putting in on a given day on one of the Oasis class ships? Especially for me and the wife...we try to avoid elevators as much as possible. Good exercise for all that food we are eating.
