This is our third cruise, first on the Navigator but we had been on Adventure before so had some idea what to expect. We love this class ship, everything feels "big enough", very rarely any crowding. Navigator has a wonderful crew, absolutely everyone we met was warm and friendly, it was a treat.

Flew in the morning of the cruise, with our mild northeast winter this year had no issues. Arrived to Pier Terminal about 10:30, lots of folks still unloading from previous cruise. Breezed through security and check-in, with our JS booking and silver Sea Pass card we were taken to the priority boarding area which was nice, padded chairs instead of just the folding ones!

There was a minor delay, the building filled up quickly and it wasn't until about 12:15 that we started to board. Headed right to the Windjammer and got a nice table by the window for lunch. Buffet was good that day, everything was fresh. We had salads, some sandwiches and wraps and cookies and fruit for dessert. There is a ton of heavy food (burgers, pizza, mashed potatoes, creamy pastas) which did not appeal to us at all but they are there if you want them. The quality in the Windjammer nosedived throughout the week. Very few selections ever changed, and you could tell they recycled sandwiches from other days because they were so soggy and the lettuce was turning brown. We only ate there one more time after that first day because it was truly BAD. I looked for sushi but it is evidently only served at dinner, wish they had it for lunchs or snacks. I mentioned this to our dinner waiter and he suggested eating lunch in the MDR the next day. WOW, this was an amazing meal! They are only open on sea days, and only from 12:00-1:30. They have menu service and also a delicious and fresh salad bar. So much better than the Windjammer. Read more
