First time for us on a Royal Caribbean ship with over 20 cruises under our belts mostly with Thomson TUI and P&O we thought why not give them a try. The Navigator is a big ship and requires alot of walking both stairs and passage ways and definitely more rides in lifts etc and getting on and off the ship for tender boats and to go a shore can take some time.
The ship its self is showing ...
Because the price was right,not to expensive and the destinations.We've been with the Royal Caribbean a number of times, all though the Independance of the seas is our favourite ship we do find the prices have shot up since its been refurbished.Children seem to be thier priority. The last cruise we've been on was the Navigator of the Seas, tidy size ship,we were on deck two,room 2286 sea view, ...
Booked cruise on reviews as our first cruise. Don't get me wrong staff where great but expected a cabin with more room as did explain my daughter was wheel chair bound. Only just got here in with wheelchair in room may need to paint door after we have gone. They new we had a daughter in a wheelchair when we booked but never explained how small cabins are and still let us book. The restaurant staff ...
This is a BIG ship, but easy enough to find your way around after initial familiarisation. We chose to visit Northern Europe - Hamburg (OK, but not scintillating), Oslo (excellent) and Bruges (always lovely), since apart from Bruges these were destinations that we had not previously visited (we generally prefer smaller ships). We booked at the beginning of the year and paid just over £80 each ...
We booked this for a family holiday. 2 in our late 50's and 2 adult children 20 and 21. We booked a suite as it worked out cheaper then 2 rooms and gave us access to a range of suite benefits. Cabin 8694 - had it as a 3 bed apartment setup. Worked well for us.
Priority boarding and disembarkation _ very smooth.
Access to the Concierge lounge _ small but complimentary drinks and canapes_ ...
I so enjoyed my time on Navigator of the Seas it was so nice to be back. Navigator is still a lovely ship for me and my cruise seemed to pass so quickly. I know that Navigator is due a dry dock i think in January and many upgrades and changes are to happen. I found the ship to be very well kept and maintained.
The staff on board were so amazing Nalini my kind cabin stewardess, Romeo in the ...

It's the 2nd time we have been on the Navigator of the Seas. It is looking a bit tired and in need of a refit now (especially some of the soft furnishings) but it's still a great looking ship.
We picked the Navigator as it's very convenient to sail out of Southampton - drive down, park in car park where your luggage is picked up and straight onto the ship - swift embarkation. Disembarkation we ...
We have just done a two week med cruise costing £10600 for two balcony cabins. The ship and staff were much as expected which was on the whole very good. First the bad points:
Many of our fellow passengers seemed to be hugely overweight, mostly covered in tattoos, smoking and drinking incessantly. I'm not sure if Royal Caribbean is going for the right market here.
Wifi was a rip off at ...
We booked our cruise with Cruise Village who were amazing througout the whole booking process.
We drove to Southampton & check in was seamless everyone was extremely helpful. Boat & staff were amazing. Food outstanding!! Kids clubs were great my 3 young children loved it.
We loved waking up in a different place most days. Particularly loved Valencia & Lisbon.
Our twins celebrated there ...
