Navigator of the Seas Review

Great ship, but the food times disappoint.

Sail Date: Jan 2017
Cabin: Promenade Stateroom

The ship is still beautiful. The staff is great. The only problem we had was the times for food service. When the Windjammer closes before the main dinner second seating ends, that is not right. The Windjammer needs to be open later, at least midnight but closes at 9. It made the trip difficult as my wife was part of a dance fitness group and needed to eat more often, but the only food available most of the day was pizza and sandwiches.

The embarkation was very smooth. Disembarkation was a bit backed up once you left the ship as the hold you in a walkway off the ship so that the luggage retrieval area does not get too full.

The diners in the main dining room were very tasty and had a great selection. I am disappointed with Royal Caribbean allowing the formal dining room to become so casual. There were people wearing jeans, tee shirts, and baseball hats on formal night. If they are going to allow such a lack setting, they should provide a separate area in the formal dining room for those that want to follow the traditional dress code.

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

The Promenade Stateroom was really nice. We had never stayed in one before and really enjoyed the layout. The only drawback was the one night there was a Disco Party on the Promenade, and it turned out to be the one night we wanted to go to bed early. So, the noise kept me up, but it was ok.

Port Reviews

Cozumel

We love Cozumel. We have been visiting there since our first trip together in 1998. We did not do an excursion, but took a cab to Carlos 'N Charlies. Yes, it is a chain bar, but the beach was beautiful, the chairs available, and a wonderful and friendly staff. We took this chance to relax on the beach, have a few drinks, and swim. It was the perfect day at the beach for us.

Later, we took a cab back to San Miguel and walked around the plaza and past the shops we had visited many times in the past. It was a great stroll down memory lane.
