We live in Houston, and Galveston is only an hour away from our home. My husband and I have sailed on Royal Caribbean several times and are seasoned cruisers. Age 57-53. Embarkation- was a breeze, got to the port at 10:30AM and was on the ship by 11:15AM. Stateroom available at 1PM. Service- on board the ship was awesome. Drink service a bit slow, but was not because of the service, just they ...
The ship was fun. The only problem we had was one of the showers at the adult pool did not work. We had great food and the staff was wonderful. We sailed to Cozumel, Belize and Roatan. We had a wonderful time at all three ports.
We sailed out of Galveston and boarding was quick and easy, however when we returned it was a nightmare. I would recommend that you never sail out of Galveston ...
We like cruising. Our room was bigger than expected and the bathroom not surprisingly small but usable. Our room attendant Emmanuel was professional and kept our room very tidy. It was nice to always come back to a clean room. The main room was fine dining and wished I brought more formal dresses to wear for dinner. Our waiters Melvin and Rohan were very attentive. We made sure to get a table ...
This cruise is one with a majority of Texans on it due to the port. We were one of the minority being from the Pacific Northwest (PDX). Because of the makeup of the guests, there was a lot of country western music in the bars and the big screen had plenty of football playing. They know their audience, that's for sure!
The port itself is a mess - piles of dirt and construction materials that you ...
The Navigator of the Seas was recently refurbished and it shows. It is clean and well kept. We drove to the port and had none of the problems stated in some other reviews. We used Lighthouse Parking and recommend them. We arrived at the ship at 11:00 and were onboard in 10 minutes. Embarkation was just as smooth. We took our own bags off. We chose the earliest departure time of 7:30 and were ...
Very nice ship; we had no trouble getting on board 25- 35 minutes from arrival at port to boarding ship. We showed up about 15 minutes before our schedule time so we were ready to go when our boarding time came. Seems a lot of people were not prepared with paperwork or didn't know their scheduled boarding time, but otherwise it was a smooth process. We were able to drop our carry on luggage in ...
This was one of many cruises that we have taken on RC. We started out in Atlanta, GA in which we used buyreservations.com in order to book a room at the Courtyard Atlanta Airport South which turned out to be a very good choice. Check in was no problem and we left our car there for 9 days. All for the cost of one night stay. The next morning was no problem as we had an early morning flight and did ...
We were on the Navigator of the Seas from Sept 5-13/15 which sailed in/out of Galveston and visited the ports of Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Falmouth Jamaica. It was our girls trip this year and the two of us travelled from Canada. Our flight arrived in Houston at 10:30 am and we had arranged for airport to port transfers with RC transfer service which began just after 11:30 am. When checking in ...
This was our first cruise & our honeymoon.
We booked Royal Caribbean b/c we heard from others that it was the better ship to travel on since the rates were slightly higher there would be less children & people. We were also told that Royal Caribbean has better food than Carnival.
Embarkation & Disembarkation both went smoothly. We didn't have long lines at embarkation (we got there within ...
Embarkation: If you’re a Crown and Anchor member you’re fine, the lines were quick and easy. If you’re not, get ready for a long wait! Everything was quite orderly the day of embarkation, no complaints, we were on the ship by 11:30am!
Cozumel: Getting through security points was easy; aside from a sea pass we were never asked for more identification. While people were generally kind, we were ...
