Navigator of the Seas

Excellent trip visiting countries I'd never seen before. I only wish it could have been longer!

I would certainly recommend this cruise line. The staff were very professional and committed to their work. They made my cruise an excellent experience.

There were a few problems with our cabin, but hotel manager resolved them. Food in buffet has not changed. Still horrible selection. Need more healthy choices. Entertainment was very good especially singer Stephanie Parker. Production shows were enjoyable, singers and dancers were excellent. Only problem we had was the tv. You could not watch any movies at all. Both my husband and myself caught colds on the ship and stayed in cabin a lot more than usual. They need to show afternoon movies in theater or lounge. Especially on transatlantic where weather is not conducive to outside movie watching. Or do like Princess and newer ships on Celebrity, have movies on demand. We watched at least 10 or more movies on the Royal Princess. We like to wine down with a movie after a long day.

The dining room is not worth the time and food quality has gone down hill. It seems Royal Caribbean is trying to push everyone to the specialty dining. We tried the Dining room for 4 nights and then just stayed with the buffet. The ship needed more to do for a 14 day cruise. The staff was great, especially in the Windjammer.

This transatlantic cruise had a very good itinerary. Royal Caribbean shore excursions were reasonably priced especially when booked before cruise with 20 percent discount. I was disappointed with the main dining menu. RCC decided to save money by eliminating the classic items. If you wanted a steak you had to go to Chops grill and pay extra. One of the things I enjoyed on cruise ships was the included main dining experience. Already paid good money for the cruise and shouldn't have to pay extra to get the best food. Cruise lines seem to be pushing us to the specialty restaurants by cheapening the main dining menu, thus making more money. There were about 1300 Diamond or higher cruisers on board and many complained. We were told the classic items would be added back on the menu for the next sailing.
