Booked this cruise last year while on Navigator of the Seas. We were really excited after all the hype about the changes
The ship is lovely with lots to explore. However it is very noticeable that there is limited seating in ALL areas.
Our cabin (6596) was a balcony but there was an awful noise that was constant when the ship was moving.Complained 3 times, had 2 supervisors and 3 workman come out to try and fix the issue but was told by the last workman that it was "Normal noise"! After 6 nights and a few tears at customer service desk we were eventually moved to another cabin, 5 doors downed also a balcony but it was quiet....no noise.....so NOT NORMAL!!!
Cabin Review
Cabin Balcony
Reasonably clean, apart from two old teabags found under the dressing table.
Stateroom attendant was willing to move the glass coffee table to allow for more floor space.
Room had a constant noise like a creaking floor board. Noticed wedges of wood placed around the walls and ceiling so must of been a past issue. No noise on the balcony or when in port! So if you are a light sleeper I suggest you ask for a room change as even ear plugs didn't block the noise!
Shower was ok but better in the other cabin we moved to (6586)
Port Reviews
Vigo
Quiet port short walk to the main town.
Lisbon
Beautiful place to visit 15 minute walk to the town with plenty of bars and cafe to stop at on the way.
Lanzarote
The port we stopped at was not near a large town. Very small high street but pleasant walk along the front.
La Palma
Pretty town with local music festival going on. Town is close to the port.
La Coruna
Pretty market town.
