Iluv4n6 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 We are considering booking Serenade or Grandeur out of Tampa to check out a smaller ship and to fit a cheaper cruise into our vacation calendar. This would be our first cruise on a ship below Voyager class (i.e., one without a Royal Promenade) in a long time. The current fleet guide notes that Grandeur features Broadway style shows. The description for Radiance Class/Serenade does not indicate anything for shows, even though the ship would have a theater like they all do. We are familiar with the range of entertainment on Oasis, Freedom, and Voyager classes. And we may stick with the larger ships because of how much we enjoy all the fun things they have to offer including great entertainment/shows especially on Oasis class. We really like the shows and musicians on the ships. But we would like to hear from recent cruisers on Radiance and Vision classes (Serenade and Grabdeur in particular) to compare the range of entertainment options these ships offer. Might tip the scales one way or the other for which cruise we select. Thanks! Iluv4n6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluv4n6 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Yes – plan to check out cruise compasses when we are back home and I have a better Internet connection soon. Appreciate the reminder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Bee Sweet Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Both ships have production shows that included musical numbers from older, well known shows. If you poke around on Royal’s site you can find the show names and a brief description Iluv4n6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I prefer the production shows and guest entertainers on smaller ships over the Broadway-style shows on Oasis class. When you sit up front in the theater, it is both an awesome and intimate experience. You do miss the ice shows, however. Iluv4n6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluv4n6 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Thanks @berkeleykel, @Summer Bee Sweet, and @ChessE4! Always great to hear from folks who have experienced what these ships have to offer. It sounds like the entertainment is similar for both Grandeur and Serenade. If we go on one of the ships out of Tampa, we'll choose the cruise Tampa, based on schedule/cost/itinerary--nothing new there!
