Royal Caribbean Los Angeles Cruise Reviews

I am currently on The Navigator of the Seas, its day six of a seven night Mexico cruise. A couple of months ago I did the same itinerary on Holland America’s Koningsdam. See my review here to compare that ship’s review with what follows below. https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=693041 To start with I am not a picky cruise reviewer, life is imperfect and I ...

A friend wanted to go for New Years Eve and we had an awesome time. Our cruise director Tiago was amazing. The weather was cool on the whole trip except in Puerto Vallarta. Did not spend too much time on deck due to this issue. The Windjammer had a worker who always greeted us with his dance moves, high energy. Our dining waiter and his assistant were so personable. This ship left from ...

Traveling with a big group, this is the shortest cruise I've ever taken. This was my 8th with RCL, and I'd always enjoyed the quality of the overall experience. Some differences this time, though. The quality of the food was slipping -- tater tots served with prime rib, 2 shrimp in the shrimp cocktail, a very bready French onion soup -- but I still appreciated the menu on a cruise that was a ...

2nd cruise on the Navigator in a year, our last cruise was at the tail end of COVID and was amazing! The ship was full this cruise but still felt like we have plenty of space and not too crowded. This trip was with 10 family members and was lots of fun, the embarkation process was not as quick or simple as before which was a shock to me (Seemed like a mad rush when the port staff decided to let ...

We have been on many cruises before, we usually gravitate toward Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. We chose a balcony suite, mid ship. We purchased The Key , which is a VIP choice that allows you to be boarded first, and you were met with a lovely lunch, and if you want to see shows you there is a special roped off section for key holders. It was definitely worth the money. We went to the restaurant ...

After canceling more cruises due to COVID then I've ever been on I was very much looking forward to finally getting on this ship with my family and my neighbors' family. Unfortunately, not all of us would make it, as my son got sick the day before sailing and my wife decided to stay home with him. That was the beginning of a really weird weekend, but the weirdness had nothing to do with the ship ...

Just got off the Navigator today and it was just awesome. We live in the LA area, so it was it super easy to get to the port and get on the ship and have a real vacation without really missing much time from work. The check-in was super easy and fast. We had a delay getting to the port, so I was a little concerned. We got to the port at 2:10 or so, but we were still on the ship by 2:30. All ...

This is our 6th cruise with RC and it’s our 10th cruise overall having taken Celebrity for our other past cruises. I mention this to give you context. Port of LA Prepare before you leave to be waiting quite a bit to drop your luggage as well as collect it after the cruise. Despite a timed arrival, the port was completely overwhelmed and under-staffed. Prepare for 60-90 min to get on the ...

Forget spending the big bucks for the Owner's Suite unless you are ready to do your own maintenance in this suite (1300). Yes it is nice and spacious. That email you get from the concierge is for show only. Do not expect to get what you ask for. And you will be very lucky if anyone answers the phone. Don't open the sheers as the screws will come out of the railing. The TV, well - you better ...

The Navigator is a Beautiful ship. Easy parking at the port. $20 a day. We had a balcony cabin on deck 12. Cabin 1888. Entertainment on board was Vegas quality. We loved all of the shows. Dining- Main dining was a 6/10. Service great. Food soso. But I am a spoiled by cruising higher end cruise lines. Windjammer buffet was okay. Nothing special. On deck Mexican food was ...
