Ready to read the most detailed review ever?! I used topic headings to make it easier. ;-)

In a flash sale, my mother invited me to cruise with her for 9 days through the Caribbean to Haiti and the ABC Countries I hadn't yet visited. Any Caribbean experience in February is bound to be warmer than staying in NYC, so I booked flights to the Miami port, which were surprisingly ...
Miami cruise port
First of all, if you are driving, the Miami traffic is very congested. We got into Miami at 9:30 am Allow 1/2 to 1 hour extra time. After checking all the reviews for parking and shuttles, I recommend paying the extra money ($20 / day) and park at the terminal. This will save you a lot of headaches. The parking garage is literally right across the street from the RCI ...
We chose this cruise for the ABC island itinerary. DH and I flew (50s) in from Ohio to FLL a day early; Got there around noon, Uber'd to our hotel on the beach, walked to a nice place for lunch, walked back to the hotel (got our steps in!), then napped. Walked to a new Argentinian restaurant a block from the hotel, had dinner, then to bed. Uber'd to POM the next AM. Embarkation was a breeze! ...
We chose this cruise as we had never been on the ABC island itinerary plus Labadee, Haiti. I do have to say this is our 3rd time on the Navigator and 6th cruise, one being on the newest NCL. We love this ship. Even though it has shown signs of wear, it was truly a great time. Glad we took the 9 days instead of the usual 7. The ports were all ok, however, I get tired of all the jewelry stores, ...
This was my first cruise and I was pleasantly surprised. Embarkation was simple and there were plenty of staff to guide us in the right direction. It was me and my mom and we are both very afraid of water. Once we were on the boat, however, it was easy to forget we were not on land. The staff was very friendly and always making sure we were enjoying ourselves. The rooms were small but had ...
This was our first time cruising from Miami, first time to Nassau, third time to Cozumel, fourth time on RCCL. We booked our excursions through the ship and did the Balmoral Island beach break in Nassau and the 3 Reef Snorkeling in Cozumel. I highly recommend the snorkeling and Gil and his crew.
As it was just my wife and I, Main Dining was a hit or miss. We ate with two other couples 3 out ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary as we have never been to the ABC islands before. We were also interested in taking a cruise that was loner than a week and found the 9 night to be wonderful. We had folks from 21-80 and everyone enjoyed the ship and the ports. The food was hit or miss but we never went hungry. Service in my time dining was outstanding. Chops was delicious as was Johnny ...
We chose this cruise for the ports. The cruise was overall pretty good the ship is in pretty good shape for her age there were a couple things that needed repair but were taken care of in a timely manner. The food was fairly good we ate mostly in the windjammer but did eat one night in Chops which was very good we also ate in Sabor this is a little different. Had a great time on Aruba we did the ...
This was our second cruise with RCI. We enjoyed the first one so much we booked another one with NextCruise. We sailed out of Miami to Labadee, Curacao, Aruba & Bonaire. The ship is fantastic. Clean, well appointed and plenty of great staff attending to your every need. For the first time we splurged and booked a Junior Suite (9248). It was perfect. We will never go back to a smaller room....just ...
We were cruising with a group and they, having cruised before, chose this trip of 9 days.

The staff is very attentive, friendly and well-trained.
Check-in was efficient and quickly done.
The interior cabin size was adequate with plenty of storage.
The room steward kept the cabin clean, neat and always made sure we had all we needed.
The ...
