Grandeur of the Seas is one of the lower-graded ships we track: 2.2 of 10, #169 of 176. It carries 37 tons of ship per guest (median 41). Crew cover 2.6 guests each, about the fleet norm.
Passengers rate it lowest on entertainment, which sits beside the grade rather than inside it.
Graded against every other ship we track, on one curve. The method.
On today’s fares, about right — the best sailing we can currently price scores 5.7 out of 10 for value, roughly the going rate for a ship of its class.
That is a 7-night Transatlantic sailing departing 27 November 2027, from $630 per person in an interior cabin — about $90 a night. A Value Score of 5.0 means a sailing costs what genuinely comparable cruises cost: same class of ship, same region, similar length. Above 5.0 the fare beats that going rate; below it, it does not. Grandeur of the Seas grades 2.2 of 10 on vessel class, and 3.9 of 5 from 855 traveler reviews. How the score is built.
Sister ships share a hull, so they differ only in condition. A newer sister is the same vessel, less worn.
Every fare is the line’s own price. Zero markup: the line pays us if you book through CruiseIndex, you never pay more.
