  1. Nice to hear but beware if you think this means that this ship’s rooms will be comparable to a newer, larger ship. Several years ago, we booked a family cruise on the Grandeur of the Seas after it had undergone an update. We have always sailed on RCI’s larger ships but chose this since it had been redone & 2 of our party had mobility issues. Reviews had mentioned beds weren’t comfortable so we called ahead & were told they would put an egg crate on our beds to ensure that they were comfortable When we boarded, there was no egg crate & we were told they didn’t offer them. The beds in our room were so bad that we slept poorly for the entire 10 day cruise. First time ever that we had been happy to be done with a cruise. Entertainment & food quality were poor on this ship also. I emailed RCI after we got home asking if this was a fleetwide downgrade or just because this ship had less passenger capacity. I received no response. We are now sailing on Princess.
