Being on a 21-month operational pause, the Royal Caribbean's vessel is finally sailing again. This news is followed by launching a new program that presents Barbados as a new homeport. Bridgeport, Connecticut is where the Vision-class vessel sailed from, to offer itineraries ranging from seven to fourteen nights, fulfilled with exploring of the islands around the Southern Caribbean and Latin America, including some new ports of call as well.

The first itinerary of the Grandeur of the Seas is called "Southern Caribbean Explorer" that includes calls in Grenada, Dominica and St. Lucia, with additional three new ports: Scarborough, Tobago; Port of Spain, Trinidad; and Kingstown, St. Vincent. The next offered itinerary is the "ABC Caribbean Adventure Cruise" visiting Grenada, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, Trinidad and one sea day.

A 14-night cruise with stops in Central and South America is on the schedule in January, including 11 ports, such as Limón, Costa Rica; Colón, Panama; and Cartagena, Colombia. 

Grandeur of the Seas was built in Finland, with a capacity of 1,950 guests and officially entered service in 1996. The 2012 total renewal of the vessel, which lasted five weeks with $48 million drydock, has given Grandeur venues that were first introduced on Oasis-class ships, featuring new dining options such as the Giovanni’s Table Italian trattoria and the Park Café casual eatery. Very specific attraction is the seven-deck Centrum atrium on the ship, transformed into a high-spirited fun space that serves as a display of numerous daytime activities, as well as unique nighttime entertainment with high-flying aerialists.

The Grandeur of the Seas and the following two ships (the Brilliance of the Seas coming on 16th of December and the Enchantment of the Seas resuming services on 23rd of December) are completing the 20 Royal Caribbean ships back in service by the end of this year.
