We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We left from Fort Lauderdale and stopped in Haiti, Puerto Rico, St. Kitt's and St. Maarten. We travelled with my boyfriend's family (there were 6 of us total).

My boyfriend and I had travelled on the Allure of the Seas two years before this cruise experience and absolutely LOVED it. You can't even compare the Allure with the Navigator, not even just in terms of size, but quality and cleanliness too. I found that most things on the Navigator were just not at the same level as we were expecting coming from the Allure. The sheets and blankets were stained and the balcony was filthy. Nightly shows were a joke compared to the quality of shows offered on the Allure. We enjoyed the Royal Caribbean favourites: Love & Marriage Game Show and the Quest, as well as the Ice Show. Skip the rest. I was sick for about 3 days on the Navigator too - not sure if it was due to the food or motion sickness, but the medical personnel were able to give me some medication that helped me feel better for the remaining few days. I found that the food was quite comparable to the Allure. Our waiters on the Navigator were better than the ones we had on the Allure too - they would bring extra appetizers and entrées for us to share and try based on what he knew we liked. Definitely a nice plus!

Labadee, Haiti was beautiful! DON'T go to the little strip to do bargain shopping. We got harassed, especially when they discovered I spoke French. We opted for the big biplane over the water. Yes, it's expensive, but it's so worth it! Strap a Go-Pro to your chest for some awesome photos! Read more
