I have been on three cruises, I have been on the Majesty of the seas, the Sovereign of the Seas and the Grandeur of the seas. They are all beautiful ships but the Grandeur of the seas was the grandest of them all. The beautiful indoor/outdoor pools with a great view, the gorgeous two story dining room, the spacious rooms, and the wonderful service.

All of the rooms were very spacious and accommodating, I loved the Theater, no matter where you sat you had an excellent view of the shows. The Windjammer Cafe was nice for lunch their was always hot food and sandwiches to eat and in the afternoon they set up an ice cream bar. The Pool area was just beautiful both the indoor pool and outdoor pool. Make sure you wake up early to get a good seat by the pool. The casino was great they had a lot of tables and slot machines.

The food was outstanding they served you with you a 5 course meal every night, they served soup, salad, appetizer, your main meal with 5 or 6 choices and a desert. Every night the menu varied according to the theme, for example they had an Italian, French, Caribbean, and American... Themes. They Service was outstanding, they explained each night what was for dinner and suggested what to choose and if you did not like something they would bring you something else, and if you wanted more of something they would bring you more. I can not say enough about the Staff in the dining room they were wonderful. We got very attached to the Waiter and assistant waiter for those seven nights we became friends it was hard to say Goodby. One of the waiters names was Chris and he was from Italy and Roy was from Germany . They were excellent.

The cabins were very spacious. Their was a lot of closet space and a lot of draws. Their was plenty of room. The bathroom was a decent size also, the Shower was a stand up shower, It was a little small but it was ok what do you expect when your on a boat.

The shows were great! They had signing and dancing and comedians, and magic shows. The Staff was great especially out on the pool deck they always got people up dancing in the sun and had games and contests throughout the day. They were great especially the assistant cruise director who hosted BINGORAMA!!! It was a lot of fun and GREAT PRIZES!!

Our Itinerary was changes a little we were supposed to go to COCOCAY but due to some problems with one of the engines it was a little to far so they took us to Nassau, Bahamas. I was disappointed that we were not going to go to COCOCAY because it is a beautiful island, I went their on my 2nd cruise and it was so peaceful and beautiful. I have also been to Nassau, and it was nice but it is more of a shopping island then a beach island. Our first stop was Labadee, I can not say enough about this island, it is so relaxing it kind of reminds me of Gilligan's island, away from everything secluded with trees and sand and a beautiful beach with plenty of activities for all. They had tents with grills and they had a great cookout with lots of food. Our next stop was San Juan, I did not enjoy this island at all it was depressing with all of the damage from the Hurricane They had. Our next stop was then ST. Thomas, This island was beautiful, nice beaches and plenty of shopping, especially for those who love jewelery. Our last stop was going to be COCOCAY but as I said before they changed the itinerary to Nassau. WE did some shopping here and then got back on the boat and enjoyed the pool.

We went on the cruise with another couple and we got a table for six so we did meet another couple, They were a little older than us but we really got along well. As a matter of fact I miss them. WE had a great time. Grandeur was an excellent cruise I recommend it to everyone.
