This was my second cruise on Royal carribean with my family. From the first day we arrived, I felt like they have lost their royal treatment. The food was disgusting. the bread was hard, the smell of the sapphire restaurant was horrible, and the cook couldn't prepare soft scrambled eggs. The pool area was dirty all the time, the room a/c was not cooling well at all. And some of the staff ...
We cruised on the Navigator of the Seas out of Galveston with my extended family, 17 people total, ranging in age from 2 to 71. The itinerary was a 7 night cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. This was my third cruise and the first time with Royal Caribbean. We are from San Antonio and Austin which makes leaving from Galveston convenient. The traffic at the port was a mess and took a ...
We LOVE cruising and had been on 4 Carnival cruises in the past 8 years. This was our first Royal Caribbean and it was definitely different from Carnival. We had a good time on the boat and a FANTASTIC in the ports, however, we both agreed we missed the energy of Carnival. Here's the breakdown...
LOVED!
1.Our room! We stayed in a Junior Suite and I don't think we can ever get anything less ...
It was a repeat trip on the ship and itinerary. Being new to this cruise business, we stayed in our comfort zone and did not regret it.
The Navigator had been recently re-done, was very clean and sparkling and had some good upgrades. Our balcony cabin served our purposes well even though we didn't really spend much waking time in it. The balcony did provide for some great morning coffee time ...
So, we've always cruised on Carnival but since the price was the same, we decided to change cruise lines and try another experience. We are a family of 4... wife and I in the 40's, and a 17 yo son with a 16 yo daughter. Booked 2 interior rooms on the 10th deck with the virtual balcony.
The rooms - seems a little smaller than Carnival but none of us noticed it. The virtual balcony was great. ...
We just got off the Navigator of the Seas. It was a beautiful boat. We have sailed the Freedom of the Seas and the Navigator was a bit smaller. That's not a bad thing, it just means you can get to where you are going quicker. It was easy to navigate, the Carnival Magic we took last yr, was not! The upgrades they did are nice. The carpet, etc all new. The flow rider was fun, kids loved that and the ...
This was our second trip on the Navigator, our first with our two daughters, ages 20 & 24. After our first trip on the Navigator, my first cruise vacation, my wife and I learned what we liked and didn’t like and made the necessary adjustments for this trip.
First of all, having family around always makes vacation more fun. It is also nice to know that we have memories to share that will ...
The wife and I had not been on a cruise in about 10 years, so we were really looking forward to this. It was our 10 year anniversary celebration. As is typical of my luck in such things, I contracted a nasty stomach bug the week before, and was still getting over it when we got on the ship. I had just started taking antibiotics, and was told by the pharmacist, "If you drink alcohol while taking ...
Our first experience sailing out of Galveston. Had read some of the really bad reviews about this port so let me start there. We chose RCL transfers from Hobby to get priority attention for em/disembarkation. It was convenient and comparably priced, worth it. We arrived around 12:45p. The lines were long and winded through the terminal. It was organized but you have to be patient. What was ...
I booked this cruise as a high school graduation gift for my daughter. I traveled with my husband, daughter and mother for this trip. For my mom and daughter, this was their first cruise ever. I have previously cruised on the Crown Princess but the Navigator was our first experience with Royal Caribbean.
Embarkation, for us was simple. Since we have family that lives close to Galveston, ...
