Additional details
`All the right fixes with the facelift she received in 2014, had a very good surgeon! .The Navigator is a very beautiful lady. Over all our trip was great, our 20th plus cruise, many with RC. There is a noticable change in perks that used to be, but overall its still the best value for the dollar. Ships staff were friendly and we never felt slighted in any way, unlike other comments in previous reviews.
I would avoid the mad rush on boarding day to the Windjammer and eat before you get on ship. This was the only day we felt the buffet to be too crowded and understaffed. There were many people waiting in the Windjammer for their room availability and not leaving their tables. For those of us trying to find a table this was frustrating. The food in the Windjammer is typical buffet variety and the staff was attentive when we finally found a seat. She sailed on time and the safety drill was fast and efficient, with a few missing cabins..they may have still been in the Windjammer..
Our room was 3rd floor aft in the new section of cabins. It was a little bigger with a very large window. Very quiet throughout the week. The cabin attendant was good, but we did notice that the vanity mirrors were not as clean as they could be. We mostly eat in the dining room for all meals. We did not do any specialty resturants spite the constant selling of those available. There has got to be a better way to promote the specialty dining without harrasing in the Windjammer while you are eating lunch (only eat there twice). Entertainment was ok, commedians were very good...Food in the dining room (anytime dining) was very good. Overall great trip..booked on the new Harmony for 2017!
Cabin Review
Large Oceanview Stateroom
Very nice cabin, just around the corner from the Saphire Dining room 1st level, and close to the elevator and stairs, entertainment rooms above us but we never were disturbed with any noise of any kind. Hop on the elevator to deck 11 and you are there at the Windjammer and pool deck. Room service was prompt, food was hot and what we expected...beats cooking and cleaning up at home! Nice to leave the room and come back with your bed made....
Port Reviews
Grand Cayman (Georgetown)
been here many times, go to center of town, and take the city bus anywhere you want to go, for much less...rode to 7 mile beach on our own, and hung out at the Beach Bar Breakers, plenty of shade and places to sit and take in the scenery.
Falmouth
Brief bus ride, nice tour, some history background, includes lunch, the food was ok...enjoyed the day there.
Labadee
Beautiful beach, more than one to choose from, large area but trams run frequently...food buffet was very good, Fun to watch the zipliners.
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Nice port, parking is MidTerminal and a shuttle ride if you have your own car, but very efficient. Port personnel were very nice and helpful, typical cattle call for boarding, but all went well.
