Creator's Key Takeaways

I just love cruising. This cruise is so great. It's exceeded my expectations.

Grandeur of the Seas. Check it out. Small ship. Big fun. We're big fans.

We love this ship. It really grew on me.

It's exceeded all my expectations so far. I was pretty nervous with being such a small ship and especially getting off Icon a month ago.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Commit to not using elevators even when you have a baby.
Get a lightweight stroller or a lightweight baby.
If you're not Diamond, you should be Diamond to go to the diamond market and get chocolate covered strawberries.
When in Key West, get the cookies from Mat's—they're worth it.

Small ship might not have enough venues or activitiesThe ship has a lot of venues because they sprinkled all of Royal Caribbean's OGs into all the spots, and you still have everything.
