I saw a package that you can buy with digital but I don't think it's offered with single pictures. Just be aware that if you take it somewhere to get scanned in, you may need some sort of a release from RCI. Carnival had one they sent me upon request. When I got my photo from Royal scanned in, they (Target) didn't ask.

Just found this:

I was thinking the same thing! 😁

Hi, Robyn. That is such good news.

 

But I think that you mean 180. 360 would mean a full circle, or right back where you started from! ;) :D

Grandeur was $35/each restaurant last I looked.

We saw the aerial show in 2013 on the Grandeur. It was nice but I won't be complaining to RCI if the show is not held next month during our cruise. We enjoy the relaxing experience and are easy to please.

Either the Cruise Planner or via email. I got it for $8.99/day for 1 device at a time.

Where do we watch for that?

Thanks

It took a hit. Fell down, went boom.

Carnival Pride, last May. No one was injured. A couple vehicles (employees not passengers) were damaged.

Is there a problem with the gangplank? Cruising 2018 out of Baltimore - never been there before.

The rest failed.

Do you know if that's true about spa treats purchased ahead of time?

Since you pre-purchased the drink packages there will be no additional charges, gratuity was included at checkout.

That's what I suspected.

If there are no rooms left in your category then you cannot check prices and will no longer be able to get price drops. If you are before final payment you could either upgrade or downgrade to a different category.

How can I tell if the price I've paid for our 2018 cruise has gone down? Apparently there are no more rooms in our class available. I booked it myself they the RC website so I'm on my own, no TA to help me.

All of the specialty restaurants on the Grandeur were still $35/person last week.

Just checked, Giovanni's is only $29/person.

I don't remember anyone doing that but maybe they do.

Will they point out points of interest as we sail out toward the Atlantic?

We've sailed from Baltimore twice but never went up for the sailaway. Do you remember roughly what time they go under the bridge, etc? We did a TA home from a Paris vacation and sailed into New York. I got up early so I could watch as we passed under the Verazzano Narrows Bridge. Very cool.

OP, have you sailed out of Baltimore before? It's very cool to be on an upper deck, midships, for sailaway and the following hour or two. As well as seeing Fort McHenry and other historic sites, approaching and going under the bridges is a fun experience.

Grandeur has a very nice promenade deck, and the South Pacific Lounge is one of our favorite public rooms on a ship. The artwork in passenger cabin hallways is very well done.

That's my husband and I. You can meet lots of folks at the Solarium pool. Lots of readers in there. Also, go to the Meet & Mingle.

Any tips for those of us that are more toward the introverted (but very friendly!) side?? :)

Those who criticize the Grandeur sadden me. Apparently they feel the need for constant entertainment or diversions. I wonder if are that critical about everything in life. We enjoy rest, peace and quiet, good food, and the chance to see new places. Room stewards are an added plus. Maybe our expectations are low but we are grateful that we can plan a vacation like this every few years. So many people we know can't afford to splurge on a meal out or even buy new shoes when the ones they are wearing have holes in them.

Here is my advice:

 

Go into your cruise knowing that the Grandeur is older with fewer bells and whistles. She is showing her age. You are largely responsible for occupying yourself. Yes, there is a rockclimbing wall and swimming pool and solarium with pool and hot tubs. There are trivias and dance classes and dance parties. There is a nightly show in the Palladium theater. There are movies on the poolside screen or in the theater. There are 4 specialty dining experiences.

 

No refrigerator in interior or ocean view cabins.

 

It is all about managing your expectations.

[You can get a milkshake at the Starbucks/Ben & Jerry's onboard the Grandeur. My husband loves vanilla milkshakes so there's usually one or two on our cruise tab.

Oh themy kids will LOVE this!

We were in Freeport a few years ago. I wouldn't call it a dump. It's a working port. We didn't go far that day so I don't know what the surrounding area had to offer. We walked thru that little shop area just off the ship. Didn't find anything that we wanted there. It was clean tho, people were nice. No complaints.

Yes, we are in Freeport today. What a dump! :(

 

We have three Bahamas stops: Freeport, Nassau & CocoCay.

Thank you for asking that question. I bought the same package and wondered the same thing. My husband is a bit of a picky eater. I'm not but not much on Izumi's menu appealed to me. If I won't eat it, hubby definitely will not. This will be our first time in one of the specialty venues. Hopefully it won't disappoint.

I have reserved the "BOGO 2 night specialty dinner package. I understand that this is for the first 2 nights. So, would formal night be that 2nd night? You are not given the restaurants until you're on the ship. I am not fond of Japanese cuisine, so if I am given Izumi as one, can I change it? I'm hoping for Giovani and Chops. I am traveling solo on this cruise, so I would like to find out as much as possible. Only on RC once. Thanks

I've read that the televisions are Samsung so Samsung brand universal remotes had some success.

Yes, but the remote control may not be able to select an alternate input. People have reported being able to select inputs using a universal remote control.

There is a thread named "Royal Caribbean Cabin Information Compilation -NO CABIN QUESTIONS POSTED HERE PLEASE!"

Although you asked about 7652, there is a post on cabin 7654, next door to your cabin. It was posted in 2014. There are photos that may be of interest to you.

There's also a post on 7650. No photos but it does have comments.

Have you checked the thread for specific cabins here in Cruise Critic?

We will be in this room in 2018. Thank you so much for the photos!! And the great idea about binder clips on the shower curtain. It certainly does get friendly. ;-)

There are shows but not the huge productions you may be used to. My husband and I are not gamblers or drinkers so we usually do a bit of walking and people-watching followed by an in-room movie on a laptop. Probably not the kind of evening's Entertainment That you would be looking for.

Quick question regarding entertainment on the Grandeur. We are sailing this summer and thus far it is the smallest ship we have been on. This is the first ship that I will be on that does not have "big shows". I'm concerned that there will not be a lot of night time activities. We like going to shows and are perfectly content sitting in a bar and listening to great live music. We do not like the casino so that's not an option. For anyone who has sailed on the Grandeur please tell me what you did at night for fun.

It did that to me as well. However, I'm persistent and now we have next year's vacation reserved.
