We had family members visiting us who had never cruised before so we decided to book 3 cabins and take them on their first cruise.
We drove from Vail, AZ (The Town Between the Tracks) to the port.
We had a 1:00-1:30pm check-in time. We arrived early and we on-board, sitting in the Windjammer, by noon. Very smooth & fast embarkation process.
We booked Inside cabin. They were fine for a ...
We had a great time aboard the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Sea. Our cabin steward was amazing, and the food was delicious at the Dining room and the buffet. We loved the guy singing the Washy Washy song!
We mainly hung out at the bar where Michael was, or The Pub, or The Sports Bar, the staff at all of them were amazing.
A special shout out to Michael, Sandeep, and the sweet lady ...
Overall this cruise was well done—everything went smoothly, staff was friendly and helpful, food was well made, embarkation and disembarkation was a clear, simple and speedy process, a wide variety of activities were offered for varying interests.
Unfortunately, there were two instances that quite negatively impacted my experience. The first being, I attended a minute-to-win it event that was ...
This cruise was a last min memorial trip. We have been on 20+ cruises/various ships RCL, NCL, Carnival and Disney. Did Carnival same itinerary 2022 memorial and had a great time. RCL this was by far the worst cruise experience. Embark Day: prk lot 80% full but they refuse to let anymore cars in even with handicap they directed us to a lot blocks away and we had to wait for a shuttle take us to the ...
My S.O. and I have cruised with RCCL multiple times. One of the reasons we have repeatedly cruised on this line is that RCCL rewards loyalty with various perks: abbreviated embarcation waiting, champagne receptions, free drink vouchers (diamond level and above), etc. This cruise embarked from Los Angeles Port and the embarcation process was a little unorganized outside the terminal with long ...
We had booked transfers from LAX to the ship through the cruise line. Our plane was late and we arrived well past the 1 o'clock deadline. I figured we had forfeited our transfer fare and would need to collect our baggage and find our own way to the pier. As we made our way to baggage claim, I was shocked to find an RCCL representative by the name of Bill, who said he had been waiting for us and ...
This was our first cruise and the experience was terrible
-Dated ship / staterooms that were falling apart (paint falling off, rust, mildew, stains on couch)
-Activities were meh. Large pool deck that was mostly full of drunk bachelor / bachelorette parties. Some cool water slides but it was freezing the entire voyage.
-Trivia was hit or miss. We did the Harry Potter one and the person ...
This was our first cruise and we really liked it. Everyone was really friendly. The main dining was delicious and the staff there are awesome. Christopher from main Dinning was super cool with my kids, always asking my son (guapito) what he'll like and go out of his way to assist us, so did Deepak. Room service is aways on it with the cleaning ,specially Mark in deck 9. Can missed Mr washy washy ...
It's been 4 years since we last cruised on the sister ship to The Navigator of the Seas. Covid pretty much dictated our schedule for the last 3 years. Now, we saw an opportunity to set sail again. We tried last September, but a Covid outbreak pushed the schedule back until this April. Prior to the cruise we signed up for the KEY program as well as the Refreshment package. The KEY allowed us to ...
CABIN: We booked a balcony cabin. The cabin was nice and spacious. The furnishings were a bit outdated, and some drawers were very squeaky, but overall, the cabin was very good.
DINING: The Windjammer was large and had a lot of foods from different cuisines. All the food was very good. The Main Dining Room was a little lacking, as service was very slow and portion sizes were mediocre. We also ...
