Review summary

Navigator is a great ship all the way around but the MDR really needs work with the taste and consistency of the food. Also I’m hoping they get the pool heaters replaced soon because being in a freezing pool is not very tempting.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

We were traveling with an unvaccinated kiddo so we had to get him tested at port but when coming out of the vehicle they were pushing me to go under the tents when I was explaining that one needed to get tested because he wasn’t vaccinated it was a little bit of cluster. Another issue we had was with port security he touched my 5yr old daughter and opened up her jacket without our permission when we explained to him that she is vaccinated and didn’t need the tags saying she’s ok after being tested. It really shook my daughter and she cried and he said he didn’t care. We reported it and hopefully he gets fired.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I can not say enough great things about the staff. Our room steward was amazing, our waiters were all great, all the crew in general made my daughter’s 12th birthday amazing

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was spacious but without a balcony I wouldn’t do it again. The views you get are definitely AMAZING. You can definitely sleep up to 6 but as far as configuration goes I would say no more than 2 adults and 4 littles or 3 adults and 3 littles because it would get cramped for the amount of money you paid for this suite.
