Creator's Key Takeaways

the Grandeur of the Seas is one of the oldest if not the oldest ship in the Royal Caribbean Fleet it was our first time sailing on what many refer to her affectionately as the lady G

the food that we got in the main dining room was wonderful um it was limited choice for food though um smaller older ship there were not as many options as we're used to

the boom internet we we paid for the boom serpent stream um and it sucked quite frankly it was just completely terrible

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be mindful of limited food options at Worcester airport
✓Plan for potential internet issues on older ships without Starlink
✓Consider booking shore excursions early as popular ones sell out
✓Be aware that the Windjammer on this ship is small and can be crowded

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Limited food options on the ship — Be mindful that meal service times are staggered and options are limited compared to larger ships
Internet connectivity — Check if Starlink is deployed before booking, as internet may be unreliable on older ships
