We chose this 5 night cruise on the Navigator to celebrate my 60th birthday. We had not been to the two ports, Costa Maya and Cozumel so we thought it would be a good way to explore some new places. Embarkation in Miami was confusing in that they had to put people in different places to wait and some people didn't want to sit for fear of being last. We were delayed by about an hour and were on ...
I live in south Florida so I came straight to the ship from home. I was supposed to get priority check in. Instead there was an hour and a half of a snaking line to navigate at the port of Miami. First time on Navigator of the sea. First visit to Curacao and Bonaire.
The food in the dining room was very very bland and repetitive. There was an over emphasis on the staff trying to sell ...
This cruise was a pretty mixed bag. We went on a cruise with RCI in 2010, same class of ship, and I had expected a similar experience. Unfortunately, we were somewhat disappointed.
I was travelling with my husband in the same cabin and my mother and cousin in an adjoining cabin. Both my mother and cousin have some mobility issues, because of this we requested boarding assistance. There ...
Back to back on Navigator. 5 nights to western Caribbean then 9 nights to southern Caribbean. We are Diamond Plus and we cruised with hundreds (over 500 I believe) D and D+. Diamond lounge was way oversubscribed but they did open the Viking lounge for overflow. Dress code for lounge is non-existent. Many people with shorts/wife beater shirts etc. Staff was able to keep up with drinks (as usual a ...
We took this cruise as part of an organised group singing event. We've never really been tempted by taking a Cruise with Royal Caribbean but this provided a perfect oportunity to sample the service offered by this cruise line.
Embarkation was very swift and smooth. Once check in was complete there was only a matter of 10 minutes or so waiting time before boarding. Access to our cabin was ...
We chose the Navigator of the Seas as a filler cruise between the Independence and the Freedom.....what a disappointment! We found the ship fairly dirty in many areas, many broken elements, such as chairs, railings, bathroom items, etc. The carpet was patched in many areas. Two days in a row, we found pieces of bow tie pasta on the windjammer floor at breakfast time. Out of 40 cruises, I’d rank ...
We chose this cruise for the chance to visit the ABC Islands without having to fly to Puerto Rico. We'd love to visit Puerto Rico for a week sometime, but flights from our location are quite expensive and there are few direct flights. Florida departures are much easier. We flew down a couple of days early to do some shopping at Dolphin Mall and to visit the Keys. We had a nice time in Miami ...
Having sailed on this ship nearly 10 years ago we were looking forward to the amazing time we had previously. Unfortunately we found that the ship is a little worn, a little dirty, especially the hallway carpet near our room, deck 6 forward, starboard side. I have to also say the staff for the most part were not very friendly and often times were very short with conversation. We are platinum ...
My friend live on Bonaire, this was a good opportunity to visit her.
The Navigator of the sea is a renovated Cruise Ship, but you see the ship is older.
The Service in my time Restaurant was good, our waiter Elvis and Assistant Waiter Merwin were great, also the headwaiter.
Food was ok, not wow, but the Chef Table Food and Chops Grill were really good.
The food at the Windjammer was ...
We mainly picked this cruise as one of the ports was Bonaire, where a friend of us is living and also because our friends were taking the same cruise. Eventually we ended up with 6 couples on the same cruise ship.
Overall the cruise was enjoyable, but didn't reach the level we had on previous cruises with RCCL. Disclaimer: My wife and I are pretty picky, if things are not to our liking we ...
