Royal Caribbean International     Royal Caribbean International continues to bring the cruise line’s most innovative features and popular venues first introduced on Oasis-class ships to its fleet with the revitalisation of Grandeur of the Seas this month. With a host of new dining venues, a new baby and toddler nursery plus a giant outdoor cinema screen are just a few of the stunning new features awaiting guests on Grandeur of the Seas when it emerges from dry dock as part of the cruise line’s extensive revitalisation programme.
Following a five-week long, $48 million refurbishment at the Navantia ship yard in Cadiz, Spain, the 2,446-guest Grandeur of the Seas will sail an 11-night Mediterranean itinerary roundtrip from Barcelona, Spain. From there she will spend the summer offering a variety of Mediterranean itineraries from Venice, Italy and Provence, France. In winter 2012/13 Grandeur of the Seas will offer Southern Caribbean cruises from Colon in Panama and Cartagena, Colombia.
Returning to service on 31 May with new entertainment options, restaurants, children’s programmes, technology advancements and more luxurious accommodation options that were originally introduced to industry acclaim onboard Royal Caribbean International’s recently introduced Oasis-class ships, Grandeur of the Seas is set to wow guests with its fresh new look and cutting edge facilities.
The revitalisation also introduces:
·      Wi-Fi availability throughout the ship
·      Flat-panel interactive televisions in all staterooms
·      A new Concierge Lounge for suite guests and top tier loyalty guests
·      A Diamond Lounge for Crown & Anchor Society loyalty programme members
·      Transforming the Viking Crown Lounge including new menu featuring bite size delectables
·      Digital, interactive way-finding system
The Centrum – a five story atrium in the centre of the ship has also been transformed into a major entertainment area featuring a range of daytime activities, nightly shows and aerial performers. The Centrum’s Champagne Bar has also been reinvented as the R Bar, a retro bar that will feature signature cocktails and trained mixologists.
