Friends invited us to join them on this Transatlantic cruise, I am usually a loyal Celebrity Cruise Line cruiser - this was the 3rd trip that I have sailed on RCCL. The Navigator is a beautiful ship, well maintained and the open concourse is beautiful - a much smaller version to the open concourse on the Allure of the Seas. The smaller size is somewhat of an advantage as it takes relatively ...
At the age of 63 it was time to embark on a new journey. As a child I traveled with my family, as a young woman I ventured to a beach resort with some other friends, as a married woman I traveled with my husband and as a single mother to visit family members who wintered in Florida. As my son grew up we discovered cruising together, and then shared that joy as a family when I remarried. ...
This cruise was for my wife and I on our 25th wedding anniversary. Neither of us had ever traveled to Europe. This repositioning Trans-Atlantic Cruise seemed perfect, and for the most part it was. This was our second time on Royal Carribean, but first time on one of the mid sized ships. While we are "Elite" on Princess, we are just starting out on Royal.
That being said, the embarkation ...
We were on this ship in November and the difference was night and day. This trip was 14 days of total enjoyment for us. Again we had a balcony and the room was in very good condition and our cabin steward was terrific, taking care of all of our needs.
We dined in the main dining room every night as a party of 8 travelling together. Our waiter and his assistant were the best we had ever had on ...
This TA on Navigator was pretty much what we had expected. The passengers were mostly retirees, and you can't blame them....the fare for an inside room for 14 days was less than $600! While the overwhelming majority of passengers were nice, there are always 3 or 4 couples who do nothing but complain. One couple who were diamond plus thought that the world owed them a living! UGGGH. From the time ...
We flew down from Dulles to Ft. Lauderdale on the morning of the cruise.Embarkation was efficient and friendly.The buffet spread for the boarding passengers was very good.Our room steward, Soma, was great. He did everything we asked of him, and we probably were more demanding, at least at first, than average in terms of robes, amenities, ice. His towel animals were nice to come home to.Our ...
This was our first transatlatic. The whole experience was very positive and we had a great time.
Embarkation at Fort Lauderdale was fine and we were in about thirty minutes already inside the ship. We had lunch and started our tour at this lovely ship.
Our room was nice and spacious and being a promenade room, we had the opportunity to watch the activities which were always going on at the ...
We are two sixty-somethings who have been cruising since 2005. We have cruised on Carnival, Princess and are C&A Diamond Members on RCCL. This was our 4th transatlantic but first on RCCL (three on Princess) and our 24th cruise overall. We typically do 2 transatlantics a year to take advantage of R/T airfare. I will briefly mention prices throughout the review as many folks are interested in that ...
This cruise was our very first, so my review may be a bit flowery, but here goes. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale the day before (which I highly recommend) and checked into La Quinta Inn & Suites. They had free transportation from the airport, and also to the port. There were probably 30 other couples staying there that also were sailing on the same cruise, so it was nice to meet some people ...
