Navigator of the Seas Review

Additional details
I booked this cruise in February of 2013 for December of 2013 purely because of the amazing deal. We paid $429/person for a promenade room (8383). When we arrived to embark, the process was the worst I've ever seen. Surely something could be done to fix the situation. It made the start of our vacation very sour. We waited from 10am to 2pm before being let on, we were not informed as to why.
Once onboard, our rooms were ready, but our bags weren't there. Cabin steward assured us that they would arrive in time. We waited until 7pm before our bags arrived, which made me nervous as we left promptly at 4pm and I thought our bags were goners!
When booking this cruise, I knew ahead of time that the NOTS was being refurbished and our cruise was one of the last before all the changes would take place. However, the crew were very rude compared to our first cruise. Our waiter was awful and told stories of how poor he was so that we would tip him more. I didn't appreciate going to dinner and feeling bad every night. Also, the mini fridge was broken in our room. No big deal, except no one ever tried to fix it, despite calling everyday. They could have attempted to help. Luggage was ruined, but the guest relations desk was rude as well. No help there.
Cabin Review
I absolutely loved this room. With the windows closed, you couldn't hear a sound. Some said it was noisy, but we didn't hear a thing and I'm a light sleeper. I loved being able to watch all the shows from up top, since they can sometimes get crowded on the Royal Promenade. I loved the way it was set up as well. Felt like a lot more space than the interior stateroom. I booked the promenade room on the NOTS again for May 2014.Oh, and you can also see things that are happening on at sea days. Sometimes they do drink specials(mimosas-$2) and we could always see when those specials were happening without having to walk through the promenade everytime!
