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 internet connectivity was completely terrible and it wasn't just guest facing internet connectivity it was actually even staff I mean there was a lot of stuff

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be mindful of limited food options at Worcester airport.
If sailing on Grandeur, check if Starlink is deployed for internet connectivity.
Consider booking the Atlantis submarine tour in Barbados without the bus tour.
