Review summary

This was our 2nd cruise on the Navigator and we were very pleased with the new entertainment, and activities. Although this was a short cruise, it was packed with activities for all ages. The ice show was fantantic, as was the comendian and the dance numbers performed by the cruise staff. The food is very good, and the ship is well designed with a beautiful promenade full of gift shops, bars, and opportunities to snack. The gym and spa area is beautiful and well maintained. They have, however, discontinued their Ship Shape/Vitality Program which we hope they will start again. We missed getting shirts and other apparel at the end of the trip for all our exercise attempts. This is our 10th cruise with Royal Caribbean and we would never consider another cruise line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We had a wonderful dinner at Chops (specialty restuarant) this time on the Navigator. Steaks were exceptional and the staff very, very accomodating.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Loved the shows and entertainment. Never got to use the ice rink or miniature golf, but we had on a previous cruise. Ship has loads of activities for everyone in the family.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very friendly crew. Cruise director was very entertaining.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Too much smoking in a few of the bars. Other than that, the ship was very clean with a very good layout. We enjoyed the night when the casino was smoke free!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin, although a smaller inside cabin, was very comfortable and our cabin steward was one of the best we have ever had on Royal Caribbean.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

This was our 2nd visit to Cozumel and we had a very good snorkling and jeep tour. The snorking location was changed due to rough waters, but the alternative choice turned out very well. Our guides were very informative and friendly.
