This review will not be extremely detailed simply because most other reviews tend to cover all of that. Instead I'm just here to express my opinion of our latest vacation with Royal Caribbean on Navigator of the Seas.

This was my 12th cruise with Royal Caribbean -- and once again they keep me coming back! (Granted, I've never cruised with any other cruise line so I have no base for comparison.) This ship was absolutely GORGEOUS. Her beauty is unmatched, and as I'm certain other members have said in previous reviews, she towers over all other cruise ships in port. Just breathtaking! Our ports of call were Labadee, Haiti; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel.

Our vacation was like a family reunion of sorts: myself and husband, along with extended family members from all over the U.S., including three toddlers and two infants. To me the Navigator of the Seas was not a surprise because my husband and I had taken a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Adventure of the Seas (also a Voyager Class ship) back in June of 2003 for our honeymoon. To the rest of the family, however, this type of ship -- with its incredible city street-like Promenade -- was unfamiliar and brand new. To make a long story short, no one denied the ship was incredible, but at the end of the cruise most of my family agreed they liked the traditional interior layout of Royal Caribbean ships (such as those of the Radiance Class that have a central atrium and no Promenade).
