We just returned from the 6/10/06 sailing of Navigator of the Seas to the Western Caribbean. We had been to all of the ports of call from our six previous cruises so we really went on the cruise to sail on Navigator!
Day 1 (Miami) - Our flight arrived in Fort Lauderdale at around 9:30 AM. We took a limo from Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl. to the Port of Miami. The ride was about 35 minutes on a Saturday morning with little traffic. We got to the pier just before 11 AM and were the first ones in the terminal so we had our picture taken and sat in the lounge area until 11:30 when they opened up security. We checked in with our Set Sail Pass and were on the ship by 11:45. We usually try not to sail out of Miami because the Port of Miami always seems so crowded and rushed but this was one of the best embarkation experiences we have ever had.
Day 2 (At Sea) - Sunday was actually kinda overcast. We had planned on laying out on the pool deck most of the day but since it was cloudy we stayed in the cabin, ate at the Windjammer and explored the ship, comparing it to her sisters Mariner and Voyager of the Seas. The rest of the day was spent resting up for the rest of the cruise, we had to leave the house at 3:00 AM on Saturday.
