Casino

There's nothing like the sound of cards being shuffled, chips being stacked and slot machines paying off. We consider our Casino RoyaleSM to be a little bit of Vegas, a little bit of Monte Carlo and a lot of Royal Caribbean fun. Grandeur of the Seas has games for all levels of players. There are onboard lessons for novice players and tournaments for the more advanced. Casino Royale is open whenever you are sailing, so stop in and try your luck!

Kids

Fun isn't just for adults at Royal Caribbean. Kids from 3-17 onboard Grandeur of the Seas are invited to take part in the exciting, complimentary Adventure Ocean® Youth Programs. Adventure Ocean was specially designed to blend educational activities with just plain fun. Every cruise is different. But one thing never changes: your child will get to learn about local customs, do cool science experiments, and make great new friends. To participate in their Adventure Ocean programs or use the onboard pools and whirlpools, children must be three years of age and potty-trained (diaper and pull-up free). And you can feel confident leaving your children with Royal Caribbean because every member of their staff holds a college degree in education or other related field, or has qualified experience in working with children.
