cruise47 Posted April 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) We have never cruise with RCCL only with Disney and Celebrity Cruise Lines. We have eight (8) cruises with Celebrity Cruise Line. My spouse and her friends would like to do the New England Cruise sailing on aboard Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore, Maryland . Will we be disappointed? We have sailed small cruise ships before The Century and The Mercury under Celebrity Cruise Line. We are all in our late sixty's (60's). We are looking at deck seven (7) for our cabins selections. Any information would be helpful. Thanks advance.

Clarea Posted April 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2016 You will find Grandeur similar to Century/Mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgram Posted April 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) You will not be disappointed, IMO. We cruise every year, in the winter, on the Grandeur and love her. We are in our 70's and like the size of the ship. We always get a mid ship cabin on deck 4 and never have any problems. Can't comment on deck 7, sorry.

PokrChick Posted April 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My recommendation is to stay away from the the cabins near the center elevators. It gets extremely loud when events are held in that area. When we cruised, the weather wasn't great so the nighttime activities moved from the pool deck inside. Our cabin was 8536. We had two choices - have the door closed that cut off the hallway and listen to it slam every time someone walked down the hall or leave it open and hear the band and people. Didn't get to sleep until well after 2am a couple nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My recommendation is to stay away from the the cabins near the center elevators.... I concur, I'd stay at least 5 staterooms away from the door to the centrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderista Posted April 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm not much help yet but I'm going on Grandeur as my first cruise in a few weeks. I will be staying on Deck 7. I will be near the forward elevators but not the central ones. Hopefully, it won't be bad. I booked it as a guarantee and it is a lot better room than I expected to get. I'm planning to bring chamomile tea which I have lately discovered will reliably put me to sleep. Anyway, I'll know more in a few weeks. I think the Canada itinerary looks very interesting and is something I would definitely consider doing. I've been to both New England and part of Canada as land travel and I've always enjoyed it.

Can anyone who has been on Grandeur recently comment & advise on their mattresses? Thanks I'm a bit concerned about this too. I'm be going next Saturday. I'll comment when I get back. I'm a side sleeper, if I wake up with a sore hip, I'll be begging for extra padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted May 1, 2016 #21 Share Posted May 1, 2016 At home I sleep on a mattress that is hard like a rock. I requested a board under the mattress on the Grandeur when I cruised on the ship 4 months ago. The mattress was quite firm and did not require the board.

Merion_Mom Posted May 2, 2016 #24 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Do they serve Gelato on the Grandeur of the Seas?:D I have had gelato on a Celebrity ship; never on a Royal Caribbean ship. Ice cream, yes. Soft serve frozen yogurt, yes. Gelato, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioRob Posted May 2, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I have had gelato on a Celebrity ship; never on a Royal Caribbean ship. Ice cream, yes. Soft serve frozen yogurt, yes. Gelato, no. Exactly this from my experience last May on the Grandeur. Ice cream machine is on the pool deck to the left of the Windjammer. Many people miss it unless they know it's there.
