You can get to the Grub 2 menu by holding the Shift key down on startup and not letting it go until the menu appears.

If you want to enable the menu by default, check the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT in the file /etc/default/grub. This option does the following:

Wait this many seconds for a key to be pressed before displaying
the menu.  If no key is pressed during that time, display the menu
for the number of seconds specified in GRUB_TIMEOUT before booting
the default entry. We expect that most people who use
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT will want to have GRUB_TIMEOUT set to `0' so
that the menu is not displayed at all unless a key is pressed.
Unset by default.

As you see it is unset by default, so check whether it has been set or not in your case.
