First I would like to say that this is my third time to sail on Navigator of the Seas and I was very pleased with the fresh look after the February dry dock. The flat screen TV's, carpets, drapes, furniture - all was in excellent condition and very nicely decorated, although we found it strange that RCCL did away with the coffee tables in all the staterooms, so we brought our own small plastic folding tables. The outdoor furniture on our balcony was obviously not new - rusted on the legs, but that is a minor detail as far as I am concerned; just an observation. We have done a “girls cruise” every year on RCCL since 1996, so this was our annual cruise. We are C&A DP members & had connecting Jr. Suites on Deck 9 - 9330 & 9334.

We had dinner at Chops (bogo first night), Izumi and Sabor. It was my first experience at Sabor and hands down our favorite. The best food we’ve ever experienced on a cruise ship. The wait staff was wonderful and very informative in helping us to select our meal. It was also my first experience at Izumi and we enjoyed it very much. Excellent service and food. Chops was good - they always have good steaks & service. Did not make it to Giovanni’s or Johnny Rockets. Tried to have lunch at JR, but there were LOTS of families on this cruise with children so the wait line was more than we wanted to invest in.

I have no complaints about our Jr. Suites (except no coffee table for room service). Everything was as it should be. Otto was our cabin steward and very good - almost like a ghost. You would go out for breakfast and the room was sparkling clean as soon as you returned, the same with dinner. I enjoyed listening to him sing as he worked hard to ensure we all had perfectly clean staterooms. Read more
