	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Great Staff, Enjoyable Cruise by Shayla W from Hoensbroek, Netherlands Sailing date: Oct 2011 Pros: The friendliness of the staff Cons: The age of the cabins The price we paid for a Transatlantic cruise was a bargain. The staff made up for the ship's age and lack of ammenities. Overall, our two weeks aboard the ship moved rapidly. We ddin't want to leave!

Forego the temptation to pay exorbitant prices for transportation as the public bus station is very close to the port and many gorgeous beaches are easily accesible from there. Bridgetown, Barbados Philipsburg, St. Maarten We rented a car which was a huge help in exploring the island's multiple facets. But there is a good beach within walking distance of the port.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Our First Cruise by Jill S from Indiana Sailing date: Sep 2010 Pros: This was our first cruise and we enjoyed it more than we expected. It was the most relaxing vacation we had been on in a long time. I liked the size of this ship. It was just right not too big not too small. The ship was always in good order and very well kept. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The only thing I will mention concerning dining was the bowls and plates that were used at the buffet. They were not as cleaned as I would like. I would go through 3 or 4 to find an acceptable one. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality The staff on this ship were above and beyond!

I felt completely pampered! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico Dowtown Cozumel has gotten way too touristy...filled with shops all selling the same cheap things; margaritas were watered down; the food was "Americanized" and expensive. Best to take an excursion (as I've done before) to the ruins, or beaches, canoeing...anything out of town. George Town, Grand Cayman The Island tour was very interesting and our guide was very entertaining. Don't Miss: Turtle farm, Tortuga rum factory, Hell. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Expected More... by Betsye M from Sebring, FL Sailing date: Aug 2010 Pros: Dining and Stateroom staff were wonderful! Cons: Lack of For the age of the ship, Grandeur of the Seas, it was in very good condition. It was very clean in all public areas as well as our stateroom. The food in the dining room was good most of the time and our waiter... well lets just say I'd have loved to bring him home with me. He was wonderufl (Gabriel) - Never missed a step! The lunch Salad Bar in the Dining Room was awesome. The food in the Windjammer (buffet) was very good, as well, but the layout realy should be approachable from all side - as the lines were way too long during lunch. The Solarium (Adult area) was very nice although the pools in both areas were quite small and way over crowded.... And the there were too many "saved" chairs - The rule was not enforced. Our stateroom was very nice and clean and was a good size (large oceanview) with lots of stroage area. Our room attendant was wonderful as well. As for ship activites.... There was a Lack of "real" activities other than seminars for you to spend more money using the ship servies: ie - Casino, Shops, and Spa. Although the Adult nightly entertainment was very good. We were celebrating our 20th Anniversary and although this may sound like a lot of cons - we had a wwonderful time and met some great people. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Entertainment was good, but Activites were Poor. Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico The market area. Lots of haggling to be done and some great authentic food can be found there. The market area doesn't look like much, but it was a fun time. Also the liquor stores and some bars offer abundant Tequila tasting. George Town, Grand Cayman The island is beautiful but a bit pricey. Our dollar is worth less there and food is quite expensive... 1 beer, 1 cocktail, 2 appetizers = $43 before tip. Don't Miss: We did the Shipwreck Snuba Excursion and it was absolutely awesome. The staff at Snuba Cayman was great and it felt like we were on a "private" excursion. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview Faded Beauty by Geraldine J. from Southfield, MI Sailing date: Jul 2010 Pros: excellent service Cons: ship a little shabby and in dire need of a facelift for the staterooms This was a fun short cruise. Many options were available for entertainment. The service and quality of food was above average in the dining venues. Major complaint is that the ship is old and a bit shabby, staterooms really need some updating. Ship Details: Ship Quality While the public ares and staterooms were clean and pleasant but outdated Dining/Food The food was good in both the casual and formal dining areas. However, the kitchen seemed to be slow in getting meals prepared in a timely fashion. Dinner in the formal rooms was a two hour affair, often with a wait of up to an hour for main courses to appear. The service provided by the waitstaff was excellent, however Stateroom Quality The staterooms were very small and outdated, the furniture appeared obviously worn. Television had a 13 inch screen. The bathroom was tiny with mold on the shower curtains and stains and discoloration on the walls and floor. Ship Staff Quality The staff for the most part was very friendly courteous and gracious. The service was truly excellent Entertainment & Activities Many activities were scheduled daily, and most were well organized and presented. The entertainment staff was very good.

They do everything. Cons: Maybe a little longer at ports.- so I could shop more. Well, this was our 2nd time on the ship. We went back in March. This time seem better for me because even in the Carribbean in March it was alittle cold for me. This trip was never cold. Loved it. The crew was different. Our wait staff was the best. They called us by name each night. Our room attendant called us by name each time he saw us. Everyone was friendly. Clean ship. Great trip again! Ship Details: Ship Quality It was all very good!!!!!

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great cruise by Anthony M. from North carolina Sailing date: Jun 2010 Pros: Everything Cons: No smoking should be allowed anywhere on the ship Age 41 wife age 44 frist cruise. This is a great cruise & great food. My wife & I both gained weight from all the food. Ship has a ok fitness room. My wife & I both workout 5 days week but only worked one day on the cruise We were not ready to come home at the end of the cruise. There are alot of bad reviews about this ship. They are not true. Some talk about smells in the hall this was not true. some talk about the ship has aged. (not true). This ship is well kept up. After seeing some of the reviews I started to try another cruise liner. Take this cruise I think you will enjoy it.
