Grandeur of the Seas: 1,992 guests, no Royal Caribbean ship carries fewer

Grandeur of the Seas carries 1,992 guests at double occupancy. Of the company's 30 ships in service, none has a lower capacity. At the other end, Wonder of the Seas takes 5,734: a factor of 2.9 inside a single brand.

That is why "I want a Royal Caribbean cruise" does not describe a product. It describes a range running from a neighbourhood ship to a small floating city, and an advisor's first job is to find out which of the two the client has in mind.

Panama, Colombia, Puerto Rico

Our 139 departures on Grandeur split between Colón, Panama (52), Cartagena, Colombia (47), and San Juan, Puerto Rico (31). That is an unusual deployment in the fleet: three Central American and Caribbean ports, none in Florida.

For a Montreal traveller, Colón and Cartagena take a flight with at least one connection, usually through Panama City or Bogotá, so a full day of travel. San Juan is reached more simply, in about five hours. The airport-to-pier transfer is never included by default.

A crew ratio better than her size suggests

With 1,992 guests and 760 crew, the ratio is 2.62. That is better than the 2.78 of Freedom of the Seas and the 3.00 of Voyager of the Seas, two far larger ships. The measured spread across the fleet runs from 2.38 to 3.00.

Grandeur does not hold the company's best ratio, but she holds her own, and she does it on a 1996 hull. Thirty years, and the fleet runs from that year to 2026.

The measurements

Delivered in 1996, Grandeur measures 279 metres, is rated at 73,817 gross tons and has 11 decks. Maximum capacity reaches 2,446 guests. Her last documented refit dates from May 2012.

Fourteen years since the last dry dock is a long time. We say so rather than leave it out, and we let the client decide afterwards. Rhapsody of the Seas, of the same class, went to Cadiz at the end of 2019.

What 279 metres change aboard

Across 11 decks and 279 metres, you cross the ship without thinking about it. That is the exact opposite of the experience on a 362-metre ship, where the stateroom's position relative to the lifts decides tens of minutes of walking per week.

In exchange, a 73,817-ton hull moves more at sea than a unit three times heavier. A traveller prone to seasickness should take that into account before choosing the small format.

Who she suits

Couples looking for quiet, travellers who want Central America rather than the classic Caribbean, and those who prefer knowing everyone aboard. A family with young children will find more facilities on a large ship.

Our Royal Caribbean advisors confirm the exact fare, inclusions and applicable conditions before any booking, in line with Quebec consumer protection rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grandeur of the Seas, with 1,992 berths at double occupancy. Of the 30 ships in service, none has a lower capacity. Wonder of the Seas, at the other end, takes 5,734.
From Colón, Panama (52 departures), Cartagena, Colombia (47), and San Juan, Puerto Rico (31), out of 139 in total. No Florida departures.
By a flight with at least one connection, usually through Panama City or Bogotá, so a full day of travel. The transfer to the pier is never included by default.
It is 2.62: 1,992 guests at double occupancy for 760 crew. That is better than the 2.78 of Freedom of the Seas and the 3.00 of Voyager of the Seas.
She measures 279 metres, is rated at 73,817 gross tons and has 11 decks. Maximum capacity reaches 2,446 guests.
In 1996. Hers is the oldest hull in Royal Caribbean service, in a fleet running from 1996 to 2026.
Her last documented refit dates from May 2012, so fourteen years. In her class, Rhapsody of the Seas went to Cadiz at the end of 2019.
Yes, that is her strong point. At 1,992 guests at double occupancy you are far from the 5,734 berths of Wonder of the Seas, and the ship is crossed without thinking about it.
Less well than a large ship. Over 279 metres and 11 decks, the children's facilities are necessarily more limited than on a 362-metre unit.
No, and that is a real advantage. Over 279 metres the cabin's position matters little, whereas on a 362-metre ship it decides tens of minutes of walking per week.
Less than a large ship. A 73,817-ton hull moves more than a unit three times heavier. That is the downside of the small format.
Eleven decks, against 20 for an Icon-class ship. Double the count inside the same company.
Her 52 Colón departures sit at the Caribbean entrance to the canal. That is the deployment closest to the canal in our Royal Caribbean catalogue.
No. None of her three ports is drivable. Of the 30 Royal Caribbean ships in service, only four sail from a port reachable by car from Montreal.
