Review summary

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.

My 8 year old said it was OK. She didn’t bring home any cool projects like on other cruises.

Service and Staff

This was the highlight of our cruise. Every staff member was amazing!

Ship Quality

For an older ship, I was impressed by the cleanliness and quality venues.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was clean and spacious. The balcony was double size and looked out over the aft of the ship.

Ship tip

Don’t write off a short cruise on an older ship. You will be impressed by the Navigator of the Seas!

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5
Easy embarkation! Took an Uber from Long Beach airport and parked to unload luggage directly in front of the ship.

Catalina Island, California

3 out of 5
A little crowded in Avalon. Did not take an excursion as we preferred the alone time on the ship while everyone was ashore.

Ensenada, Mexico Did not visit port

Been there done that. Too much violence in Baja to feel comfortable there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
So fast and organized!
