Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
MDR food was excellent. Windjammer was OK really didn't see any kid friendly items on the buffets at lunch can't say that about dinner. Dinner one night as the Mystery Dinner Theater at Giovanni food and show were amazing. MDR then other 8 nights. My favorite snack place The Cafe Promenade,coffee sandwiches & pastries but the fresh baked cookies are to die for.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Flow rider watching wipe outs was great mini golf. Sport stuff going on but for us we enjoyed most of all was the trivia at the Schooner Bar. I did find The bingo overpriced for the amount of games they played. Casino machines were tight but a few did hit for low 4 figures.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were first class as was the ice dancing show. Total enjoyment every night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Antonio our Steward was unbelievable. Our Head Waiter & assistant waiter treated us like royalty. Over all every member of the ship we came in contact with was warm & friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Second time on the Navigator loved the set up. She is showing a bit of wear in places carpets and chairs which is expected but clean and shiny all over.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Antonio kept it spotless, it was just big enough to get cleaned up,dressed and sleep that all we needed. My only problem was the mattress it was harder than the floor. I did speak to Antonio about it, and he got us a mattress pad which did help my back.

Ship tip

Don't per pay gratuities they are also over priced. My biggest problem is the we did not get any kind of voucher to hand to the staff ,it made me feel like I was stiffing them.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
What a big change since we were there last, lots of things to do or not do.Just have fun in the sun. I loved the coaster ride what a blast

Oranjestad, Aruba

Be careful when shopping, make sure they put everything you paid for in the bag.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Walked around did a little shopping and walk over the floating bridge, people seemed very friendly. To be honest it was a visit just to say I was there.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Had a blast rented a golf cart from Bonaire Cruises you talk about friendly people.We had so much fun driving around at our leisure. We did the North side with all the cactus plants,and the South side and the beautiful sights of pint salt flats. Not to mention the sea foam blowing across them with 20 to 30 mph trade winds.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
They seemed to be organised but not so, they allowed people to gather on the steps in the elevator areas clogging up all of the areas and no announcements as to which group should be heading to the gangway.
