Paid4c4 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 This was our first cruise sailing from the Port of Tampa. We found the cruise terminal to be convenient, clean and plenty of room. From the time we arrived at the terminal by Uber, checked in and completed our muster drill was exactly 10 minutes! Wow does that beat the days of old. We found GOS to be clean, well maintained with a friendly and helpful staff. We had a Facebook meetup at the Schooner Bar at 3PM on boarding day and meet so many nice people. The Grandeur isn't for everyone as it is smaller and without water parks, flumes or flow riders. However many of us appreciate the older smaller ships. Disembarkation was as quick and well orchestrated as embarkation. We went through customs, recovered our luggage, caught an Uber and checked our luggage in with Delta at Tampa International and it was 8:20 AM. I am including a photo of the Grandeur and the Allure while docked together, a noticeable difference.

Sweety Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Grandeur was my first ship. I make sure I am on her every two years. Lady G is in good shape. JustMeJoe and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus527 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 I remember Grandeur being docked beside us when we were on Allure this summer in Costa Maya (which is where your photo looks like it was taken as well). It was almost comical the size difference! Personally, I think I would love Grandeur more - the Oasis class ships are massive.
