We were supposed to sail from Southampton to Boston, New York, Port Canaveral and Miami. However, we were called on th Friday afternoon before the Monday cruise and told that due to storms in the Atlantic we would now go to Le Havre, Brugges and then Miami. Not quite the same appeal! We were offered a full refund if we cancelled but as booked the flights ourselves and non refundable hotel rooms in ...
Just returned from a short Stages cruise on Navigator of The Seas,
Found good and bad points on board, I will start with the good.
Embarking the ship was easy arriving by taxi we waited a short while, the were passed via security check onto check in and on board, only to find no cabins were ready very little seating area, lunch was served in the Windjammer which was excellent but this ...
We picked this cruise for the itinerary but as we’d cruised with RCI once before felt confident in our choice of cruise company too. We soon found that service & quality have gone downhill.
Let’s start with the positives-
Happy bar staff (most of them!)
Wonderful cabin steward
Pretty good shows & headline acts
Good choice of food in buffet
Negatives-
Firstly “My time ...
This cruise was to celebrate my 60th birthday. Unfortunately due to an allergic reaction on my husbands part it was spoilt for us as they were pre warned.The good points are the entertainment was excellent the food in the main was delicious. The Windjammer restaurant got to be very monotonous as I am gluten free. Surely they could have provided gluten free pasta? There was gluten free pizza in ...

We have just done a two week med cruise costing £10600 for two balcony cabins. The ship and staff were much as expected which was on the whole very good. First the bad points:
Many of our fellow passengers seemed to be hugely overweight, mostly covered in tattoos, smoking and drinking incessantly. I'm not sure if Royal Caribbean is going for the right market here.
Wifi was a rip off at ...
It was a family cruise foe Eleven of us.
The Ship was lovely and the staff were real friendly.
Myself my partner and 14 year old daughter in cabin,was quite small not a lot of space when they put the sofa bed down.
My brother had an inside cabin with his wife and 2 daughters of 14 and 16, not enough space to swing a cat,really not suitable for a family room as they call it,o.k if your ...
Have sailed on Independance twice and its great. This ship is similare size, but older, and it is starting to show. Definite lack of maintenance all round and things like broken tiles in toilets, scuffed and dirty seats and torn carpets etc. Makes you wonder what the rest of the ship is like.
Biggest thing was lack of staff (assume lots of staff have been robbed to staff new ships). So ...
The Ship...
Navigator of the Seas/ Balcony Stateroom.
A cruise of two halves. One bit good, the other not so good.
Not the first time I have sailed on Royal Caribbean but my first time on Navigator. Overall our cruise was good and we did have a great time in all the ports we visited but I was very disappointed in the condition of the ship. Navigator is looking very old and tired and ...
We cruise with RC quite regularly so it is very easy to notice the ever increasing evidence of cost cutting each time we go on board. It hasn't quite reached the point where I would consider going elsewhere but it's very close.
Firstly, the Main Dining Room. Vastly understaffed. Can't blame the wait staff. It's not their fault that there isn't enough of them. Result is a very long wait between ...
