Navigator July 19-July 26: (First time sailing on RCCL) 14 year old son and Dad arrived at Galveston Park-n-Cruise parking at 10:20 a.m. Walked across the street and gave luggage to porter. Got in line outside terminal at 10:30 a.m. As approached inside of terminal, far right line opened and walked directly to check-in counter. Completed check-in and went directly onto ship. Time was now 10:57 ...
I have nothing but good things to say about our cruise on the Navigator of the Seas.
Room This was the first time we had a balcony. We didn't use the balcony that much but we did enjoy the extra space for the two of us. The bathroom was a "pod" which makes it a bit tight if you're a large person, but the pod is better than the clingy shower curtains! They provide a cheap shampoo and bar ...
This cruise was excellent. The cabins were ready early, the luggage delivered long before dinner, the staff was attentive & professional. Have sailed the Navigator before, but this ship is so much nicer (& cleaner) than it was before.
This was my first time to sail from Galveston, & if the passengers on this cruise are the norm, I'll sail from here again in a heartbeat. The people were so ...
This was our second cruise with RCL. Navigator is smaller in size than the Freedom of the Seas we took last year. Loved the food and dining! With the smaller sized ship, however, the entertainment wasn't as good. The ice show was wonderful! The Elton John impersonator was fantastic -- all else were just, eh. We should have skipped the last show in the theater, we all got bored. ...
This was our 4th Royal Caribbean cruise and we were a little reluctant about sailing on Navigator since our last cruise was on Allure, a much bigger ship. However, we were NOT disappointed. The Junior Suite was spacious and boasted a huge closet, nice bath tub, and is well worth the additional cost. Cabin stewards were very attentive and the room has a coffee pot so that you don't have to send for ...
Background: Family cruise for us. 2nd cruise for my wife and I and the 1st for our kids (12 yr old boy and girl who turned 15 on the cruise). Appreciated the fact that is was out of Galveston and fairly close to the DFW area (5 hrs drive - we are out of Aledo, near Ft. Worth)
Booking/Room:
We initially booked an exterior room on floor 3, with a large window. We called about a month out ...
This was my first cruise in 25 years. It was the first time for my husband and children. We had a wonderful time! The food was good. We always came away with a full stomach! The entertainment was a lot of fun. The boat was immaculate! We enjoyed the Promenade Cafe for late night snacks. The dining hall was our first choice for meals. We had a wonderful time! We would definitely cruise ...

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. ...
