Navigator of the Seas overview

By Cruiseline.com - Updated Mar. 9, 2020

Recently overhauled in 2019, Navigator of the Seas boasts an unrivaled suite of Royal Amplified amenities geared toward families and active travelers looking for nonstop fun on board. The latest Navigator of the Seas refurbishments added new dining options, Instagram-worthy nightlife, and a host of family-friendly activities, including miniature golf, an ice-skating rink, and Battle for Planet Z laser tag. And on the top deck, Royal Caribbean transformed the main pool into a resort-style oasis with two completely new water features: Soar over the edge of the deck headfirst on the transparent Riptide mat racer, or set a new personal best on the Blaster aqua coaster.

Royal Caribbean has also upped its dining and nightlife game on Navigator by adding several party zones aimed at young and young-at-heart cruisers. Discover exciting international flavors at El Loco Fresh, or shake up an original cocktail at the poolside Lime and Coconut bar. Other additions include Hooked Seafood with classic New England style dishes and the Bamboo Room, a Polynesian-themed watering hole with a laid back vibe.

Starting in February 2019, Navigator of the Seas departs from Miami to various Caribbean destinations, including Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Mexico. Weekend getaway routes will treat passengers to a stop at Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas as part of its exclusive Perfect Day at CocoCay resort and theme park experience.

Have had better by mmsamuelian

Ship: Navigator of the Seas

This is our third cruise. This one did not meet expectations out of the three cruises we’ve done this was by far the lowest standard.

An Honest Cruise Review by alkoblin

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Navigator of the Seas

It was a very nice cruise on an older smaller ship. The internet was poor, the satellite TV connection was also poor. While the dining room food and staff were great, there was NO indication we were in Mexico. There were NO Mexican food offerings or Mexican (Latin) items to purchase on-board. The staff did a great job. The corporate office forgot to provide a theme of the route.

Mexico Adventure by andreafallon644

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Navigator of the Seas

Overall this cruise was disappointing. But then it was Mexico. The weather was windy and cold on the last 2 sea days. Couldn't even venture out on the decks. I would not do this cruise again.
