BACKGROUND: This was our 3rd cruise. The first was on Majesty of the Seas (Loved her), and our 2nd one was on Norwegian Dawn (loved her as well), and now this was our 3rd. If she would have been our first..... she most likely would have been our last as well. I would have thought the bigger the better, which is so far from the truth that it's pathetic. Bigger means better service.... absolutely not. Bigger means more entertainment..... no way. Bigger means better food..... better think again.
EMBARKATION: This was probably the best thing about the cruise was the fact that we were on the ship within 15 minutes after getting in line to board the ship. Had our welcome aboard picture taken, stepped inside the ship, got that WOW feeling from the beauty of the ship, and from then on, it was down hill.
DAY #1: We left Fort Lauderdale at 5:00pm. One good thing about RCCLs ships is that you barely know you're moving, but unfortunately we were in our room when the ship pulled out, so we seen Fort Lauderdale in our "rear view mirrors" by the time we got back out on deck. We spent this first day browsing the ship, and taking pictures. Navigator is definitely a beautiful ship, but we've found that looks are not everything when it comes to a cruise. It takes many other things to make a cruise complete. We stayed up for the late night parade (around 11:30pm), which lasted all of 15 minutes. I have to give RCCL credit on their beds. They have the most comfortable beds. (even though I broke out in a rash on the back of my neck).
