Review summary

A lot has changed since 2009. Some for the good and some not. I loved having a beverage package; however some bartenders were lackadaisical making drinks since the tips were already included. The Crown and Anchor portions changed; no more free gift and the reception was lack luster and disappointing. Usually I do a 7 or more cruise; this was 5...no lobster night. No midnight buffet...missed the ice sculptures and creativity of the chefs. Definitely a change in the quality of the food. I used to like how they had different scrambled eggs (tomatoes, southwestern, shrimp) each day. Now just plain. NO SMOKED SALMON.......was dying for a lox and bagel. Still had a great time though. I am going to do a larger ship next to see how it is. R Bar was the best though. Kudos to the manager-Kendra and her staff...

Refrigerator was not cold. Didn't even bother to ask about it. Cabin steward was not as friendly as previous cruises. Missed having the coffee table in the room.

I was on Navigator in April last year, headed back on next week.. In April they were making different omelettes everyday in the Buffet, and would make whatever if you asked. And I know I saw Smoked Salmon, not my thing but I think they adjust there menu to the demographic on the ship for the sailings, I know food has been better on the longer cruises we have done over the shorter ones...
