We chose this cruise because it was only 5 days, was on RCCL and left from the port of Miami. For a New Year Cruise it was reasonably priced and the Navigator is a nice ship only a little smaller than Freedom.
We used LYFT to get to the Port of Miami. We arrived at 11 am and walked right in and got on the ship in a few minutes. We are Platinum so there was only two people in line in front of us. Our cabin was going to be ready by 1 pm so we went to have lunch at the Windjammer. The buffet was good had good variety of foods to choose from and everything was served at the proper temperature and tasted good. Our rooms were ready right on time as promised.
The ship is very well maintained and clean. It was beautifully decorated fo r the Christmas Holiday. The staff was friendly and attentive.
We had an interior cabin on the 9th floor. It was spacious, had lots of storage space, a fridge, a safe and a small sofa, Our cabin attendant took very good care of us and kept our cabin very clean.
Similar to Grand Turk. You walk off the port and there are shops, a pool, restaurants, entertainment. We took a tram ($3 p.p) to Mahahual Beach. Beautiful beach with lots of restaurants, street vendors. We took a cab back to the port for $3 p/p
We took a cab for 12 people with our friends and went to a Tequila factory, did Tequila tasting and then toured the town
