amrgirl95 Posted May 12, 2016 Author #26 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I woke up super early (for me) and I'm too excited to get back to sleep. We should be leaving in our house in a couple of hours. You will enjoy the Grandeur. We usually sail on her in March and then again in November. We always enjoy another perspective on the ship and crew. Enjoy your crew. Wondering if anyone could tell you if and when the menus are changing in the dining room. I'll try to ask about that. Looking forward to your review. Might be a good idea to keep a journal for notes before your final write? :) Thanks! I normally have a small journal with me to plan out the day and write out notes, but I may also type some on my phone or laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetToes Posted May 12, 2016 #27 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'll definitely read. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderista Posted May 12, 2016 #28 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm going on this same cruise just over a week behind you. Definitely interested! Have a great cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetrail Posted May 12, 2016 #29 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Tomorrow, I'll be going on Grandeur of the Seas, and I figured now would be a good time to start posting here. I want to write a full review with pictures once I get back, but I wanted to make sure people are interested enough in that. I'm getting an internet package, so I'll be able to post a bit while on the cruise. If anybody has any questions about the ship while I'm on it, let me know and I'll try my best to answer them for you. -Anna Will be sailing on Grandeur August 4th, can't wait! Would love to see photos and hear your experience!....K.O.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amrgirl95 Posted May 12, 2016 Author #33 Share Posted May 12, 2016 We made it on the ship and into our room! We arrived around 11:15 and were on board a bit after noon. Most of the waiting was because of my mom who recently broke her foot. We had to wait for her to get frisked at security, then we waited a bit for a wheelchair. Everybody was entering through the first floor since the main gang plank isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneyraven Posted May 12, 2016 #39 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I am curious to know if anything has been done with the damaged gangway. Any sign of progress towards repairs. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixieva Posted May 12, 2016 #44 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I am just off the Grandeur on May 7th. I will be following your review. Hope your cruise is as great as ours was! Just a note about the internet: We bought the unlimited package and it was very slow! We were disappointed. For the price they charge it should be much faster. We could get on social media and check our email (after a wait for a connection) but my daughter could only post a few of the hundreds of pictures she took. They just would not load. So I am hoping that you will have better connection than we had. Other than that everything was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched back over to it while in Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted May 13, 2016 #46 Share Posted May 13, 2016 We got back on May 7th. You must have gotten on when we got back. We did a 10 day Caribbean cruise. My daughter did not use her smart phone to post pics. It would have cost her so we just waited to post the pics when we got back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyndepet Posted May 13, 2016 #47 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Have an awesome cruise - can't wait to read about it. We are thinking about booking for July, so I'm really curious about Grandeur! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrgirl95 Posted May 13, 2016 Author #48 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Tonight (day 2) is our first formal night. Last night's menu was the Mojo one. It was pretty chilly out during sail away yesterday, but I'm always cold. It's supposed to be a high of 73 today and partly cloudy. I think somebody asked about the beds. I thought my bed was comfortable. It was pretty firm, but that's how I like it. The pillows were thin, so I slept on two of them. Our family friend slept in the upper berth and she said that bed was comfortable and that she slept well. I'm in our oceanview room on deck 3 right now, and the Wi-Fi is really good with checking twitter and sending messages with pictures there. It's slightly slower on facebook, and it hasn't let me upload a picture on messages there. After refreshing it a few times, I can get my emails, but I haven't had that much luck with loading other websites on my phone. I'll try again when I'm in a public area.

We were in 3624, our bed was fine. I was relieved on that. Let us know how formal night went. We had a normal menu for formal, the with shrimp ravioli. The lobster (fisherman's platter?) wasn't served until the 4th night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
