We went on a Mediterranean cruise July 3rd to 10th 2011. The Navigator of the Seas is a huge ship with a crew from many different countries. I will focus on the negative things on this cruise in this review, to help those who are looking for something exclusive and wonderful when searching for a cruise line. First of all, the ships focus on selling merchandise is enormous. They display and push ...
It was OK, my mom and I are both easy people and didn't encounter any bad experiences on board. However I don't think we will sail again anytime soon. When reading other reviews keep in mind you should do lots of research yourself. I noticed many are negative by surprises they could have avoided if only they did their research.
Embarkation: Maybe I didn't do enough research in this area ...
The good bits.Travel to the ship via Manchester to Rome flight and transfer was excellent with the check in onto ship almost straight away with no problem.The size of the ship meant plenty of space and we had no problems getting sunbeds on deck.Excellent choice of food in the restaurant and excellent service for 'my-time dining'. If your waiters are Terrence and Ian you will be well entertained ...
We enjoyed our experience on the RCCL Navigator of the Seas. The ship was clean, well maintained, and the crew/staff were excellent. The food was very good in the dining room, and fair to good in the Windjammer (casual dining room). We also ate at the deck 5 promenade 24-hour cafe, which had small sandwiches, pizza, cookies and drinks. We also enjoyed the nightly entertainment, which consisted of ...
I can hardly believe that we were on the same cruise as some of the former cruise critic.
This time we were 7 familypeople from 4 to 70 years old in 3 balcony cabins,and I must say we had a wonderfull time. We arrive at Rome from Copenhagen, Denmark 1 day before departure. We were picked up at the airport by Rome Cabs, which company we now have used several times when visiting Rome and I can ...
Fast and smooth embarkation - We were in our cabin (two D1's deck 8 aft) within 30 minutes and our luggage was delivered shortly afterward. From all the languages we heard, we realized that Americans were a minority of this cruise - about 1/3 of the 3,050 passengers we were told.
Cabins were spotless and efficiently arranged with sufficient room for our stuff. We made good use of our balconies. ...
To start off I would like to say that I have cruised twice before this cruise. Both times were with Disney once in the Caribbean and also just like this one in the Mediterranean.The Cruise was great, we had a good time onboard the ship and a lot of fun. The Check-In in Civitavecchia was ok. It was not the newest port, so things were a little worn out, but that is not RCIs fault. Everything worked ...
Research, research, research if you want to make the most of RCI's Eastern Med cruises unless you just book excursions through RCI and they do all the work for you.
We did our own thing at all of the ports on call and saved hundreds of dollars, if not a thousand by doing so.
The Navigator of the Seas is a great family cruise ship with lots to do onboard from ice skating,Basketball, Putt ...
EMBARKATION
The embarkation was well organised. You can't miss the RCI representatives at the airport and after putting your luggage on the coach, you don't see it again until it is outside your cabin on the ship. When we arrived at the port we walked straight through to the security check in and then onto the ship in less than twenty minutes because we had checked in on-line. Make sure you do ...
Having just returned for the Mediterranean cruise (29th May - 05 June Rome to Rome) on the Navigator of the sea, I have to say that I was not impressed, nor will I be in a rush to do another cruise on Royal Caribbean International on the Navigator of the seas. This was my 4th cruise and although the other cruises where all on Celebrity ships, I thought that as part of the same company you would ...
