  1. Hi Robin, I checked out deck 3 several times when I was on the Grandeur 2 weeks ago, and I did not smell anything disagreeable. But those were very transient visits.

     

    Personally I would feel better with staterooms on Deck 8 because we stayed there and experienced no issues. Also, none of the cruise mates we socialize with on Deck 8 experienced any significant issues.

     

    Thanks so much for the info!

  2. I read a post yesterday where someone posted their itinerary and I found it very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

     

    Please post your planned or completed itineraries in this thread. It would be nice to see them all in one thread. I know it will give me a lot of ideas and I'm sure it will help others too.

     

    Thanks so much to all those that post to help all of us!!!:D

  3. We were on Deck 3 outside cabin, just below the Crown and Anchor / Cruise sale desk, our cabin had that smell the entire cruise its very noticeable when we left the cabin for a while and arrived back in the room. We didn't really notice the smell in the Centrum though, wonder if the smell in our room made us immune to the centrum smell perhaps?

     

    Once our toilet would not flush after 10 mins.... call maintenance and after like an hour still no body came to fix... we call again and then left the room to do something, when we come back a while later the toilet is flushed. at other time, it may take up to a min for it to flush but usually flush immediately or within 15~30 seconds

     

    please tell me it was not 3082 which is where i am supposed to be in April!

  4. I know this is very last minute and maybe unrealistic to find a reasonable air for this, but it can happen.

  5. How many days until your next cruise?????? Hopefully it's soon, as I know we all enjoy time spent on the open seas.

     

    I only have 78 days until my cruise, and I am already getting ancious to go. I wish it was sooner, then the time on the cruise would just crawl so it seemed longer, lol.

     

    49 more days until i take my 4 year old grandson on a short little 4 day cruise- just the two of us! I can't wait.
