Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

I booked this cruise last minute as the price was right. I was excited to learn once we got onboard that there were only 1100 guests onboard. The ship constantly felt empty. Even at normally busy times. There was never a wait for elevators and it was always easy to find a seat in any venue. I felt a little bad for the crew that this sailing was so empty. This ship itself looked fantastic. ...

This was our second RCI cruise, first one was on Freedom. Ships almost identical except for size. Embarkation was very slow and line identification poor. Finally on board and walked through Windjammer three times looking for available table before going to Cafe Promenade. Balcony cabin was spotless and very comfortable. Room steward (Ivan) was very attentive and helpful. Had MTD and ...

Chose this as the 1st royal trip, previously cruising on carnival. Overall ship and amenities were very nice. Hallway outside cabin down to elevators smelled very musty and damp. Found out there had been a water leak and carpet was needing replacement. No Ac in elevators. AC in main dining and show area was very inefficient. Seemed to cycle on for very short periods of time and then be off ...

We chose this cruise for the cost and for the islands visited. Not having to drive down to Miami was also a big plus. We had never cruised on one of the larger ships. This was about twice as big as we had sailed on before, yet it was not one of the HUGE new ones. Surprisingly it did not feel crowded, and it was very easy to find our way around. Our little inside cabin was good sized with a ...

This was the fourteenth cruise for my wife and myself and our fourth on Royal Caribbean. We are in our early 70's. We chose this cruise because it traveled to a few places in the Caribbean that we had not been to yet. We arrived in Ft Lauderdale from Dallas a few days before the cruise departure, rented a car and drove to Key West, stayed there for a few nights. While in Key West we took the ferry ...

LOVE Royal Caribbean cruises. Love the ships, the food, the entertainment and all the crew. The food on this ship, I have to say, was just okay. Nothing bad, just okay. We've been on the Oasis, the Allure and the Quantum, their food is extraordinary, so I guess we're rather spoiled! The only complaint I have (and I normally don't complain about anything on cruising, because we love it), ...

This was our 29th anniversary and decided to take a cruise since that cruise taken was in 1994 on Celebrity and 1981 on Carnival. The ships have vastly improved since then. The Navigator of the seas was recently renovated and was like a new ship. The cabin was clean with a seating area, large closet setup with more than ample shelving space. The bathroom was ample with tri-mirror and shelving and ...

Party of 10 arriving the night before. Stayed at Holiday Inn Express on State Rte. 84. Free airport shuttle to hotel. Asked about getting the shuttle to the pier with the front desk. They use All-Star transport for a reasonable price of $8 per person. Chose to pre-pay for a transfer to the airport on return for $12 pp. We were picked up with all hotel guests and transported by bus to the ...

We chose the Navigator to celebrate my 50th birthday on the 16th and I wanted to leave on that day. Also, we hadn't been to Labadee or St. Kitts. We stayed at the Hyatt Place for one night before the cruise. Super easy and fast check in, staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. Breakfast was good, plenty of hot and cold choices and guests were polite. Walking distance to numerous ...

Hubby and I enjoyed a relaxing week on Navigator. This was our second time on this ship - the timing and ports just worked out. During this trip we graduated to Diamond level - it only took us 25 years! The ship was in good shape and crew were very hospitable. We really enjoyed the cruise director Jeffrey - funny guy. We take a cab from FLL, because we "want to get there!" without waiting. ...
