My wife and I recently returned from the Halloween sailing onboard the Navigator of the Seas. It was a wonderful cruise and I was surprised by the number of friends that joined us at the Meet and Mingle on Sunday morning. We had 77 sign up and I believe we had near 50 show up for the get together. Lisa made wonderful nametags for the group and we were also joined by Captain Bang and his wonderful wife. It was a wonderful way to begin the cruise. I am sad to say we did not get a photo at the Meet and Mingle however, we did have several get togethers planned through out the week. We had one in Jamaica at Margaritaville but as some of the tours ran late not all could make it. We had a Last Day Sea Exchange get together on Friday. We sorta over took the solarium pool area for a short time, but it was a wonderful time. We each exchanged gifts from our area and got one in return. I wish everyone could have found time to be at the last party however as everyone knows, you get so tied up in the cruise that time goes right by.

I wish to thank all the new friends that I made online and that the time before the cruise of talking to all of you was wonderful. We are talking about maybe cruising again in 2007.I have all ready booked another cruise for the Explorer Repositioning cruise and two friends that we made on the Navigator are joining us. Cruise Critic is a sensational way of meeting up prior to the cruises.

The cruise overall was great. From the dining room to the pool. To the great shows. We really loved the ice show, which is truly amazing. Who would have ever thought of seeing one at sea? Read more
