Grandeur of the Seas Review


Cruise Ship Overview

The third in Royal Caribbean’s Vision-class, Grandeur of the Seas launched in 1996. In addition to new staterooms and a new family suite, upgrades to the ship in 2012 have included an outdoor movie screen poolside, the casual Park Café, Asian, Italian, and steak house specialty restaurants, digital signage, lounges for elite past passengers, and a new nursery.


Built in pairs, the ships follow the same general layout but are different in overall size and the total number of passengers on board. Cabin sizes also vary somewhat; as the total size of the ships increased from Legend and Splendour at 69,130 tons (1,800 passengers) to Grandeur at 74,140 tons (1,992 passengers), and finally, Rhapsody and Vision at 78,491 tons (2,000 passengers), so did the size of the accommodations. In some categories, it's only a matter of a few feet, so don't look for huge—or even noticeable—differences.
