Creator's Key Takeaways

Grandiosa is really, um, a very attractive ship. It's a very beautiful ship.

The buffet was terrific. Um, I actually have very few negatives on this trip.

I would readily jump right back on it again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book everything in the app as soon as you get on the ship to secure times for shows, dining, and spa appointments.
โœ“If you don't want to pay for beach chairs at Ocean Cay, there are free loungers available.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Booking entertainment and dining in advance โ€” Book everything in the app immediately upon boarding to avoid missing out on preferred times.
Smoking areas in casino and pool deck โ€” Be aware that smoking is more prevalent on Grandiosa compared to other MSC ships; plan accordingly if sensitive to smoke.
