My review will focus on the casino aspect of the ship as well as my overall opinion of the trip. The Navigator of the Seas is in the Voyager class, and is similar to the Independence of the Seas in its layout.
EMBARKMENT: Went quickly from the bus ride with only two passengers, myself and one other person from Fort Lauderdale airport to the Port of Miami. The check in process took less than ...
We are both Diamond+ members of RC and this was our first time on the Navigator of the Seas.
Generally well maintained medium size ship.
The itinerary and dates were incredible for 2 snorkel lovers : Bonaire and St Kitts offered the best underwater scenarios! Two incredible tours.
The food on the complementary restaurants was a different story: the worst experience ever in RC and that is ...
We decided to get some sunshine & heat and to celebrate a birthday, Christmas & New Year all in one trip.
Our room was a JS on deck 9, serviced by Wayan, who did an excellent job. He knew we were early risers, so our room was normally done by the time we got back from breakfast in the Windjammer.
We are experienced Diamond Plus cruisers(500+ points), so feel we can give fairly accurate ...
This cruise was a christmas present from my son. I was excited to try a new cruise line. We had only cruised with Carnival in the past. We spent the night prior in Miami and went to South Beach where a fight broke out between two groups of stupid kids. Other than that it was ok.
The morning we went to the port was a complete and total mess with 5 ships in port that day. Navigator had Terminal ...
As Diamond Crown & Anchor members, my family has gone on many cruises, but we brought three cruise newbies on our group and we went to Puerto Rico for the first time in 33 years.
Pros:
- My wife and I got married on Voyager in 2003, so this class is memorable for us
- We also failed on Navigator in the Med five years ago, so we remembered the ship too
- It's really hard to get ...
A warning before you start: My reviews are long. This one may be longer than most because it was an 8-day, port intensive itinerary. I divided it into sections to help the reader find the information they need a little faster.
Embarkation
We left for Fort Lauderdale from Atlanta at around 3:30 am on the day of our cruise. Spring break traffic was pretty heavy all the way down there except ...
We are diamond on Rccl; have gone on 7 spring breaks in a row with our kids and grandkids.
Altho' we love Rccl, we were disappointed that the ship was so crowded, more kids than we could count. Many unsupervised. But more disappointing was that there were so many babies. We were in a balcony cabin with babies on both sides of us. We had to move from a wonderful table and excellent service ...
We were on deck 8. At 3 AM Thursday I heard the neighbors sliding door thump and got up to see what was afoot. Water in the cabin. I went OH S***! we're sinking but looked out and could see we were still high and dry except for the floor. The water closet between our rooms broke a pipe. I went back to bed after deciding nothing was going to be destroyed to the hum of vacuums. We were put out of ...
The service on the Navigator was excellent. Most of the issues we ran into were due to the age of the ship and overall cleanliness or lack of.
When we entered our cabin the overwhelming smell of urine made us both gag. We spoke to our stateroom attendent who wsa fantastic and she said she would recleant he bathroom. We told her it wasnt the bathroom...the bathroom smelt better than the rest of ...
I happen to love this class of ship with RCCL. The shopping promenade is a nice stroll when you feel like taking a walk, I love the ice shows and the theatre layout. Cabins are normal RCCL layouts. ...nothing fancy, but okay. The ship itself could use refurbishment...carpets in hallways are very " tired" looking. There was frequently a sewer odor on the 8th floor in the hallways. Did not permeate ...
