Just a quick review for our navigator cruise. Embarkation and debarkation were very smooth, but one family member found long immigration lines when they left at 9:30. No problems at 8:15 am.

Our first time on a mega ship, and was pleasantly surprised that I never got lost once, a first. The lay out is very user friendly. Family had cabins ranging from an inside, to a promenade, to a balcony. All cabins were nice. Our D1 had a full sized sofa, a first for us in a balcony cabin. Our room steward, Melaena, was the best we have ever had she met every request from emptying the fridge, providing extra ice and towels. A few glitches a very long process to get hot water in the sink, and a remote for the tv that wouldn't process a 1 or go down through channels, only up. But nothing to be very bothered by.

Food was good, pretty much. New York strip looked peeked, however, and desserts were generally wanting in flavor. Wait staff was very accommodating. The gluten intolerant member of the family was treated with spectacular care by our head waiter. I would suggest changing the salad lines in the Windjammer coupled with the pasta and pizza line made it inconvenient for those who just wished a salad at lunch. I would also suggest that for breakfast, fruits be all together, rather than spread out between the Jade area and the Windjammer grapefruit and prunes in the Jade, melon in the Windjammer, so it took some time to locate what we wanted. Nice to be able to get good coffee and a snack for free at the cafe on the promenade. Read more
