Live Grandeur of the seas 10/28 12 night S Carribean

:mad:

A Horrible old rusted out has been of a ship .

Should be put out to pasture ... maybe do some three (3) hour tours!

Ship is swaying , rocking and listing like the SS Minnow .

If the captain had stabilizers he doesn't know how to use them .

There was an announcement that because of " hurricaine Phillippe " ( didn't know captain was a meteorologist because the storm was classified as a tropical storm )

Captain said 70 mph winds and 20 feet waves so we might hit some rough seas . He recommended staying in rooms in bed as he would ( what????)

Barf 🤢 bags were placed everywhere and all outside doors were locked down .

The casino NEVER opened first day or night before the "rough seas"

Apparently they had no intention to do so but neglected to mention this when booking . In addition when casino did open next day table games did not open as stated . Hours later after many complaints they opened .

Playing blackjack requires you to manually keep track of winning numbers ... they even supply the form !! Who does that . Invest in new equipment . Has it been 22 years without an upgrade??

The food is unremarkable except that I find them lacking

Even desserts are gross

I found fuzz attached to one .

My steak was served cold as in refrigerator temp at Great Gatsby dining room ( not so great at all )

There is little selection and food is extremely salty no accommodations.

Had to ask for smoked salmon at windjammer after I was so fortunate to find a bagel .

A chair was strategically placed in my room where the closet could neither open or close . So we moved it ... it was moved back . Told room attendant to move it where I had it so I can access my closet ... guess English is difficult to comprehend

There are No refrigerator in rooms

There is No access to monitor your on board account without going to one of two guest services agents and getting a print out ( this is dinosaur technology )

The wifi is sporadic and unreliable , no instructions as to how to set your phone as to NOT incur roaming fees !!!

There are No water pitchers or ice in the cabins .

This ship is old and creaks loudly , visible rust and age .

Not refurbished or up to today's standards .

The entertainment thus far is of " gong show " quality . The worse acts I wouldn't book at a nursing home ! Such excitement over a has been " star search " contestant from 20 years ago and a comedian (?) who was the only one laughing at his Schltick?

We have cruised quite a bit on some large and some smaller ships and are very disappointed in this cruise

I find it unbelievable that a cruise line would allow a ship in this condition to represent their brand.

Hoping things improve ... the bar is set very low with little expectation this cruise will improve .

I do not recommend this ship . Would suggest one of the newer larger ships and most definitely a different cruise line whose goal is guest satisfaction abc customer service

So other than that.... having a good cruise ?

Oh, dear. :(

Sorry to hear about the bad weather.

Don't hold anything back, tell it like it is, don't mince words.

A Horrible old rusted out has been of a ship.

Whoh.

Wow. I think you will find a lot of us feel otherwise. At least enjoy you aren't at work this week.

I was on the Grandeur in September and found NONE of the things you spoke about. My dh and I have cruised many, many times on different lines and size ships. We found the Grandeur to be our favorite and look forward to going on her again next year. I don't think our standards are low, so I'm not sure what happened to you and your cruise...

How dare they not tell you how your phone works!!!! It's an outrage!!!!!

Mr. Howell, is that you?

We feel that the crew is some of the best we have had and the ship is perfect for what we like. Maybe you need to check out the new up to date techy ships with all the bells and whistles.

Everyone enjoys different things and it sounds like this is not to your liking. I still hope you enjoy the cruise.

Wow. Have 20 plus trips on Grandeur with 4 more booked in the near future. Obviously we love Grandeur and her staff. Sorry you are not having a good trip. Please remember that RC cannot control the weather. Katherine

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs. Lincoln?????

You know that Maryland does not allow the casino to open on the first night, or you would if you researched this thread on CC. Grandeur is an older ship, and does not have stabilizers. Again, you would know this if you did some research. Rough weather is very possible, because we are still in hurricane season. If only someone did some basic research....

I seem to think there is a theme here.....

You seem to like the newer NCL ships, perhaps you should stick with what you are comfortable with in selecting your cruises.

By chance too much ice in you drinks

Grandeur has stabilizers.

Given that you appear to be confusing "blackjack" with "roulette" I think the less time you spend in the casino, the better.

Grandeur does have stabilizers. This was confirmed by an officer on my cruise on her two years ago. Also see the following:

This is funny. There are 2 reviews of this ship, on this sailing going on right now. Let's just say that the other poster is having a lot more fun :-)

Now, that is funny!....:')

Thanks for that. I play a lot of blackjack and couldn't figure out how that would apply and why I'd never seen it.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

From the moment we stepped on board the Grandeur of the Seas we knew we were going the love the * Gracious Old Lady* . We explored the many unique venues, lounges, decks, cabins, dining-rooms, and so on and so on.

The food was wonderful and the crew was outstanding in every aspect and we'd love set sail with her again soon...... we hope.

I've been on this ship 4 times in the last two years and must say your review is very biased and not aligning with many other reviews of the ship. Yes, it's an old ship... what do you think is going to happen in 20ft seas? We hit 25ft seas in Jan and of course most of this is protocol. Can they control the seas?... I think not. BTW most people wait until the end of the cruise to post a review so they can have a better formed opinion of the ship.
