I traveled on the Navigator of the Seas with my 14 year old daughter and her friend. Embarkation was very smooth as was disembarkation. Having cruised many times, and several on Royal Caribbean, I do see that Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines are also feeling the effects of our struggling economy. Bingo was not well attended and they do not have "lobster night" for dinner any more (my daughter's friend was really looking forward to that).
The ship was big, beautiful and very clean. The room was small, but adequate. The food was mediocre (at best), although there was an abundance of it.
The entertainment was good. Not as good as past cruises. There were a lot of shows featuring the Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers. On the last cruise we took, there were several "headliners." The ice show was excellent.
