Service and Staff

3 out of 5
OVerall I'd say that the staff isn't happy to be there. There were some exceptions and I made sure to acknowledge them.

Cabin / Stateroom

I only put poor because the beds were hard as were the pillows.

Ports of call

Souda (Chania), Crete

3 out of 5
Plenty of shopping to be had.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

3 out of 5
Glad I went, but our tour was boring. Just felt like an expensive cab ride.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
I didn't care for Ephesus, tired of seeing ruins and the crowds were too much. Took a private tour and enjoyed a rug factory and just learing some customs.

Pros: The itinerary

Cons: Royal's dining schedule, staff is overall mediocre, front desk not the least helpful.

Recommends Navigator of the Seas? No.
