Personal Background Information:
My husband and I are Kiwis, namely from New Zealand. This is our first cruise, and we undertook to do one for his 40th birthday. With the help of an amazing travel agent specializing in cruises, we decided on the Seven Seas Navigator for 10 days, travelling the Western Carribean, in and out of Fort Lauderdale.
Travel To Port of Embarkation Air New Zealand - fabulous!! - Auckland to San Francisco Virgin America - SFO to Fort Lauderdale - wow!! Internet service inflight. How much better can it get?
We just loooove our little stateroom. It's in the centre of the ship, and has a balcony but is one of the smallest on the ship. It's perfectly formed without feeling cramped, and is much nicer than most hotel rooms. There are beautiful wood fittings everywhere, the walk-in closet is gorgeous, so is the desk and shelves. The curtains are sumptuous. The bathroom is marble, with a shower AND bath. I expected to have to make some sacrifices for space, but it's beautiful, just beautiful. And I love the balcony, and sat out there to meditate or just watch the waves go by.
