Review summary

Relaxing 9-night following a 5-night cruise. The Navigator has a great crew and look forward to another sailing on her soon.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Back to Back cruisers were able to "zero" the ship count and rebound in under 45 minutes. Very quick considering there were nearly 100 cruisers doing the back to back sailing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Much of our time was in the Main Dining room for dinner and lunch, breakfast was either coffee and fruit via room service or just coffee and a few light breakfast items in either the Diamond or Concierge Lounge.

Ship tip

Be sure to take time to explore the entire ship. Talk a walk on Deck 4 and up the stairs to the Heliport on the Bow for some great pictures.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Very disorganized. No clear line formation for the self-assist debarkation. People blocking elevators so others could not get off on Deck 4 because people were backed up. Very frustrating chaos.

Yeah the 9 night is awesome and you actually have time to relax and the A B C islands are beyond awesome, far as porters helping with luggage and finding the carousel is kinda crazy, Royal has room for improvement
