Review summary

We drove from the mid-west to Miami, so we did two cruises while there. The dual cruises made the drive worth it. Any visit to the ABC islands is well worth the time and money. Best destination RCCL has.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We left from Terminal G after disembarking from Mariner at Terminal A. Not a bad experience but Terminal A is really nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

As always on Royal Caribbean the service from all staff was outstanding.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

This was the first Royal Caribbean ship we sailed in 2005. We really enjoyed it and this vessel was the one that converted us to RCCL. Navigator is ready for a upgrade that will be taking place soon. The upgrade should bring it back to the a fine RCCL ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Perfect cabin, everything in good working order.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5

The port is fine but navigating by auto is quite an undertaking. There is a lot of construction at the port. If you are familiar with the port, no problem. If you aren't familiar, wear your learning cap.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

We have been once, and once is enough for us. This time we didn't leave the ship.

Third trip to Aruba and it won't be the last. Took our first bus trip to see more of the island this trip. We enjoyed it very much.
