Let me preface what I am about to convey by stating that I have been cruising since I was five years old when my grandparents (my grandmother is currently 89, still works as a travel agent, and has been on 108 cruises) first took me on the S.S. Dolphin, and since then, I have been on approximately 35 or so cruises with approximately 25 of those cruises on Royal Caribbean. I am currently a Diamond ...
Navigator of the seas (Royal Caribbean)
Let me start by saying the ship itself and all of its amenities are great. We enjoyed the variety of activities. We also through the ports of call were very nice and enjoyed Jamaica a great deal. That being said this is how our cruise with Royal Caribbean went…
My wife and I saved for this trip for a long time and we were very excited to be able to ...
I have been reluctant to write this review because we had fun IN SPITE of Navigator of the Seas and I would prefer to dwell on the positives. However, I depend upon Cruise Critic reviews to help me make good cruising choices so I felt I must warn other cruisers - there are far better options out there. We chose this cruise because of the great itinerary. I have happily sailed on Freedom and ...
Pooooooooor management. Horrible Port organization. Power outages at port, people waiting hours. Handicapped people forced out in heat. Cruise unorganized. Staff walking over trash with no attempt to pick up. Bar staff was generally good except one guy in disco that seemed to want to argue with several guests. Food in dining room was just ok, we upgraded to chops which was very good. Sea ...
I have only sailed with Royal Caribbean and thought the first cruise was good but maybe not as great as I didn't know what I was doing and the weather didn't cooperate.
This cruise was a nightmare. They sent out several emails stating not to show up before 2pm and we got there at 1:50pm and 4.5hours later started walking into the boat. Unfortunately, the 4.5 hours was spent in the heat standing ...
We have taken 40+ cruises and are RCCL Diamond members so we have seen a lot of "issues" that didn't ruin our cruise---until now. We received an email from RCCL advising us to not arrive until 2pm because the ship was coming in from Galveston and would not arrive early. When we arrived we were turned away by the police and told to come back in an hour because of loss of power. We were left ...
We are a cruise short of Diamond Status and this too was our worst cruise ever. I will admit that my review is tainted by the 3 hour wait we endured outside the terminal in 90 degree heat to get on board coupled with the total failure of RCCL to step in and address the issue. The power was out in the terminal and I get it is not RCCL's fault but their failure to even minimally deal with the plight ...
We were 13 friends traveling together and chose Rccl Navigator of the Seas because one of the couples is a platinum member. I have been on approximately 12 Rccl cruises in the Caribbean and Europe and the experiences have been spotty at best. This was not one our best experiences. As a whole 11 of the 13 were very and 2 somewhat disappointed.
The ship looked and felt dirty. The carpets pretty ...
We have sailed on Royal Caribbean before and enjoyed it.
This was an entirely different experience.
The food was mediocre at best.
No complaints about the cabin, which was the best feature.
There was virtually no dancing.
The entertainment was sparse and only the comedian and magician were good.
Very few shows and only the Vegas type imitations with limited performers.
The pool area was ...
We arrived at Port Everglades super early as traffic flowed faster than anticipated on the FL TP and I595. We live in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area and we have always used either Park & Fly Or Park & Go for our car park for every vacation to and from the airport, and now Port Everglades. We've always been global independent travelers and never had the desire to be on a cruise ship prior to this ...
