Review summary

When I took this cruise I didn't look at the UTube to see exactly how large a boat this is. And the 5,000 people there would be with me on this cruise/ Crowds everywhere/ waiting on lines forever for everything. Bathroom, venues, food. I won't go again on a boat this big. You lose something with these masses of people.The hosts are lovely. Food is OK. Not stellar, but edible. OK, maybe not upstairs with the masses on lines, but in the dining room certainly.The Waiters/ waitresses are lovely people. Crew are there smiling........

@aoneal05 you definitely will, but in a good way - enchantment is smaller and has less features, while navigator has more pools, the promenade, ice rink, etc, and is slightly longer and wider. but it is still small enough to enjoy the experience, see familiar faces, and not be overwhelmed. have fun!

Navigator is not that big, it is a good size, I actually feel it is small and lacking features compared to Freedom class.

Will be on this ship this weekend for the first time. I'm very excited to see the size , especially since I've only cruised on the Enchantment of the sea and Carnival sensation.

It definitely pays to do some research ahead of time. FYI, the ship holds just over 3,000, not 5,000.

I have beeno mega ships and the lines were not long. Perhaps he problem was a shortage of staff.
