Navigator of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This is a nice ship with plenty of activities to keep you busy. It is a big ship and when sailing at full capacity feels crowded.

Great entertainment, very good crew service all the way around and good food made up for not so desirable cabin.

It’s a nice get away for a short cruise. A good cruise for a first time cruiser.

This was my first cruise, and I'm so happy I went with the Navigator of the Seas. The whole experience was amazing and something I'll probably never forget.

Great ship, great cruise. Amazing staff, will cruise again.

Overall we were disappointed with the extras we thought we may receive with paying for a suite. Turns out they did not really have anything extra. We ended up in very long lines and almost 2 and a half hours to just get onboard and they did not have anyone to assist or to take our luggage. There was really no special area for suites for loading or unloading. I'm not saying we are any better than anyone else but if you pay the extra something should come with it. The service we received wasn't even close to what we have received in the past with concierge class on Celebrity. On the plus side, if you are traveling with children there are many things to do but plan on waiting in long lines.

Cruise is aesthetically one of the best. The layout makes it easy to access the decks without having to take an elevator each time. Most of the day will be spent on the upper decks, and most of the evenings will be spent on the lower decks. Activities and shows are well scheduled and plentiful...ie rock climbing, ice skating, flow rider, water slides, casino, various evening show headliners. One knock on the cruise is that the food ingredients are absent and NOT vegetarian/vegan labeled (though it does have a decent vegan menu for dinner). There are no deserts for vegans either.

This being our first cruise there was a lot of information we were not familiar with. It took some asking around but by the end of the first day on the ship we were able to take advantage of the free activities on the ship (shows). Being on a budget, we only took advantage of what we did not have to pay for. The coffee, juices, and lemonade in the buffet and dining room was good enough for us (we normally have soda with our meals). We came away from this experience very relaxed.

Show up and have fun, can't go wrong with this big ship.

Excellent food, services and activities. Best experience.

This is our first time to sail with Royal Caribbean and it did not disappoint.

First time for us being on a cruise, but already planning our next one. Excellent time and nothing but great memories from Royal Carribean.

It was a nice experience but so many extra charges

Unpleasant expereience in many ways, drinks way to expensive, sodas not included

It was my wife's first cruise and it made her very happy.

For our family, the best thing was the attention to food allergy details. To have staff care so much for my little boy's wellbeing was such a blessing. It gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to relax and enjoy our time cruising.

very relaxing and fun at the same time. really enjoyed the onboard entertainment as well- loved craig brantley!

Kids loved it, and so that is all that really counts. Way too much time waiting for elevators. Also we had to get cards for two of the rooms changed six times because of continuing issues with cards not working. Was a real pain and inconvenient.

A true mixed bag experience—I had gone on this trip to write a travel piece but received ZERO communication within this ship or Royal Caribbean, after many attempts. You are charged, sometimes, twice, a high gratuity. The packages offered were for the most part were very expensive, cocktails in particular $$$. Food and service, staff—excellent. Things could be better.

We love cruising. Had a good time on this cruise. Unfortunately, it is the truth that the "perks" of being a loyal Diamond member have significantly decreased over the years. We noticed this as well last Thanksgiving when we cruised on this same ship: embarkation/check-in is no longer convenient as it once was; the Royal "App" is terrible, it simply lacks in all areas and needs improvement (given that we are essentially compelled to use it, the APP needs improvement); the "pre check-in" is a total waste of time; some staff members on the pier at embarkation need to be fired for their rudeness. While Disney is more expensive, I am starting to see why it may be worth the price.
