MS Grandeur of the Seas — 5-Night Bahamas

Loading this sailing…

Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

Save the balcony money

5 port days and no sea day — you are ashore in daylight and asleep the rest. An interior cabin costs about $250 less per person, which is most of a shore excursion budget.

5 port days back to back

Early tenders and late returns, several days running, with no sea day to recover in. Pick the two ports you actually care about and let one of the others be a lie-in — the itinerary is not a checklist.

Day one and the last day are half-days

A 5-night cruise is really 4 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

The drinks package

The Deluxe Beverage Package typically costs around $80-100 USD per person, per day, including the automatic service charge, but prices can vary and should be confirmed when booking.

Break-even: This package usually pays for itself after about 5-7 alcoholic drinks, premium coffees, or fresh juices per day.

It suits those who enjoy multiple alcoholic beverages daily and non-alcoholic premium drinks, but light drinkers or those content with complimentary options may find it unnecessary.

Gratuities: Automatic daily gratuities are typically around $16-18 USD per person, per day for standard staterooms, and slightly higher for suites; these can usually be prepaid before sailing or adjusted at Guest Services onboard if you wish to do so.
Wifi: VOOM Surf internet packages allow basic browsing, email, and social media for a daily fee, usually around $20-25 USD, while the more expensive Surf + Stream packages offer faster speeds suitable for video calls and streaming.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Restaurants beyond the complimentary options, such as Chops Grille, Izumi, or Giovanni's Table, carry an additional per-person cover charge or à la carte pricing.
Shore Excursions. Any tours or activities booked through the ship for your port stops will incur separate charges, which vary widely by destination and activity.
Spa and Salon Services. Treatments at the Vitality Spa, salon services, and access to the thermal suite in the spa are extra, with prices varying by service.
Gambling and Arcade Games. Spending in the casino, including slot machines and table games, is charged to your SeaPass card, as are games in the onboard arcade.
Photo Packages. Professional photos taken by the ship's photographers are available for purchase, either individually or as part of a package.
Select Fitness Classes. While the fitness center is included, some specialized classes like yoga, Pilates, or spinning may have an additional per-session fee.

Ways to spend less

Pre-book packages. Purchasing drinks, internet, or specialty dining packages online before your cruise often results in a discount compared to onboard pricing.
Bring permitted beverages.
