After taking a cruise in May 2002 on the Adventure of the Seas and being very impressed with it our group (3 married couples) decided to cruise again on the Adventure's sister ship, the Navigator. We knew that the ship was brand new but we didn't realize that it was its first 7-day cruise. So, here are my impressions of the Navigator's maiden voyage.
First, the good stuff.
This new ship is amazing, it had all the amenities that impressed us so much on the Adventure of the Seas plus some extra things, such as the Asian buffet called "Jade" and the steakhouse ($20 extra). The food was great, the shows were pretty good and the guest comedians and entertainers were first class. We all thought the entertainment part was better on the Navigator than on the Adventure. Our waiter Nikolay was by far the best we've ever had on any cruise (it's number 4 for me).
