We chose this cruise for the price first and the itinerary second. It's been 14 years since we sailed on the Navigator, which was our wedding cruise. The ship looks good and now has the specialty restaurants and flowrider. All good improvements in our eyes.

The entertainment was a well-rounded mix and all of it was good. We especially enjoyed comedian Steve McGrew, the All Access show, and the circus parade. They also had the singers come out two different times and do Christmas songs in the promenade, there was a Christmas light show and the orchestra did a set as well. There is a beautiful Christmas tree onboard.

For specialty dining we ate at Chops, Johnny Rockets and Sabor. Sabor never fails to disappoint. Delicious food and excellent attentive service. Our service was off at Chops and it took a very long time for dinner, but the food more than made up for it. I had the NY steak and we also shared the seafood tower at our table which was delicious. The specialty dining prices increased at the beginning of December so Sabor is now $22, Johnny Rockets $8.20 per person. We booked Chops early on a special so we aren't sure the current pricing on it. The Johnny Rockets pricing took us aback as to dine and get shakes, our table of 4 paid $56 for diner food, (that's with getting 2 shakes free). We can do that at home so we probably won't dine there on ship again. Too bad as we always really enjoyed it. I'd rather put the money toward finer dining at that rate. Read more
