96 Hours On Royal's OLDEST, SMALLEST & WORST-RATED Cruise Ship! [Grandeur Of The Seas]

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a detailed review of Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas following a 96 hour voyage. The assessment covers the ship's size, age, entertainment, and dining quality. While the ship is the smallest and oldest in the fleet, the creator notes it is easy to navigate and lacks the overwhelming crowds found on larger vessels. However, the ship shows significant signs of age, including rust on railings and plumbing issues in public restrooms and lower decks. Entertainment is described as intimate and laid back, featuring live bands and trivia rather than large scale Broadway productions, which may appeal to retirees but disappoint those seeking high energy thrills. Dining is characterized as a mixed bag with limited buffet options and inconsistent service in the main dining room, though specialty restaurants provided high quality food. Ultimately, the creator remains conflicted, suggesting that while the ship offers a relaxing and quiet atmosphere, the lack of variety and maintenance concerns make slightly larger, newer classes of ships a better value for most travelers.
