We chose to stay onboard in the ports to enjoy the ship’s amenities without all the people. Navigator of the Seas surprised us in a good way and would take this cruise again if the price is right.

Ship tip
Don’t write off a short cruise on an older ship. You will be impressed by the Navigator of the Seas!
Thanks for sharing. Curious if the pool was crowded while the ship was at Catalina? We were planning on staying on the ship to enjoy the pool but not sure if renting a casita is necessary. Sounds like you noticed plenty of empty chairs on this port day?
We went with Liberty of the Seas. Correct me. We went with Princess on the Crown Princess and we went to Ensenada but we went through the ship's excursion. I'm sorry but you could have done that also and gotten off the ship. You don't go by yourself that's where people are wrong
I've been to Catalina Island and then sonata on my Norwegian southworth cruise back in 1989. Northern Southport is retired and it was scrapped in 2013 and I'm sorry you really didn't get off. I know you wanted to enjoy the shift but it's always good to get off especially when traveling so long. Maybe next time you will
