Good news - no problems or smells!

 

On 14 April 2013 we finished a week on Grandeur. It was absolutely fantastic in every way. There were absolutely NO problems with sewage smells. We frequently attended events in the Centrum and there were no problems. Our staterooms on deck 7 did not smell. I wandered down to the lower decks and also did not perceive any offensive smells.

 

Only one time did I note something "off". On the jogging track on deck 10, while steaming along at sea, the wind blew the engine exhaust down to deck level. There was some sulfer smell from fuel combustion. But it was VERY localized and for only a short duration.

 

Only one time we noted a delay in the toilet flushing. I think the system uses vacuum-assist to flush. If there a many people flushing, the system needs a few seconds to build up more negative pressure. This particular day, we pushed the button about four times, and nothing happened. As we stood there with hands on hips staring at the toilet and wondering what to do - whoosh - it went on its own. So just push, and wait a little. It will eventually go.

 

Have a great trip everyone. No worries.

Thanks for the good news! :)

The idea of throwing away clothes on vacation had never occurred to me. But last year the person I cruised with did this exact thing. - packed old clothes with the intention of not bringing them home. I thought this was the most bizarre thing I had ever heard of!! Apparently not. :)

I don't usually read reviews but I got hooked on yours because of the previous threads about the Enchantment repairs. Very enjoyable to read, and love your photos!

This thread is great and I love your photos! I, too, will be a bit sad to see your cruise come to an end!

Oh, yes the quest is a blast!! Great entertainment!

Love reading your review as I am sailing the Enchantment in May. Also agree your photos are fantastic!

:)

I was on this sailing also. Your pictures are great!

kleo30 - You guys look great!

Love looking at all these beautiful dresses! I think I am inspired to go buy something new for my upcoming cruise!

I never followed this thread originally. I happened to see the post on Royal's facebook page first, and then found it here on CC. What a great story! Congrats!
