Navigator of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We cruised as two single females. Met a ton of people and had a wonderful time! Already talking to some of the people we met about doing this again in the near future.

Really enjoyed the excursions, the food and the entertainment. The ship was very beautiful and comfortable.  I had a handicapped accessible stateroom and so we had larger shower, etc. I hear that is one thing people don't like in the normal interior staterooms.

I couldn't have had a greater first time cruise experience then I had last week. All the cruise workers were wonderful hard working people. They help with every question I had. The entertainment was wonderful. The games and parades were entertaining. I will definitely go again on Royal Caribbean Cruise 

Any deficiencies were of no fault of RCCL.  We particularly had extremely wonderful service in the Giovanni restaurant from staff member Maria Irish.  I cannot say enough about her service, her attitude and her personality. 

This was a wonderful experience!!!  The rooms were excellent, very clean.  All personnel were very friendly and helpful!  This was our first time on a cruise and I highly recommend using Cruise One to assist in your planning.

I never ate breakfast because it was horrible. Dinner in fine dinning was good. They didnt have many live shows and when they did it was during my dinner time. I didnt get to do karaoke because it too was during my dining time. Room service was great except when they charge 3.95 after midnight. I thought it would be better than Carnival but its not. 

Cheap Tickets was Excellent to work with and will continue to book vacation's with this site. As a previous Cruiser...I will not cruise Royal Caribbean again. The worst experience ever.The port times were not long enough to enjoy each destination.

Despite a rocky start due to weather concerns, the cruise went well. There was a plumbing issue, but the service professionals provided a $100 onboard credit to compensate. I wish there was more time spent in each port. There were some activities that weren't listed on the cruise compass, but otherwise everything was great! 

Food -- average

rooms -- adequate

bed -- hard

pillows -- too soft

cleanliness -- superb

servers -- most seemed inexperienced, mixed up orders or forgot parts.  Our personal server Neydia was wonderful!!!  We picked her table because she was efficient & accurate & prompt.  At another table we did not get out of the dining room till 10:30 one night!!!

The cruise was awesome. Destinations and excurssions were perfect. Food on the ship was OUTSTANDING. The crew was snobby. Watched customer relations personal actually roll their eyes at a customer. Nothing for older guests onboard while at sea. The activities were centered around the 20 + crowd.... Ship always seemed to be wanting to sell something. Felt like I was at a flea market.

Rough start with tropical storm Patricia greeting us in Galveston.  Royal Caribbean did a nice job of adjusting the itinerary on the fly so we still were able to make all of our scheduled ports.  Overall was a great trip.  Not too many food options late but if you are hungry it is your own fault.  Johnny Rockets was good and at a reasonable extra fee for a change of pace.  We did not try the dining room or other specialty restaurants.  The bar staff was great but we felt the pool deck bars should have stayed open when the had events playing on the outdoor screen.

Great food, entertaining shows, lots of good music. If you wanted to be entertained you were. If you wanted to relax by the pool you could. Grand Cayman and Jamaica wonderful places to visit. Navigation of the Sea staff very friendly and upbeat.

This being my first cruise, I must say it made QUITE an impression. This was truly what I consider the perfect vacation. The accommodations, service, shows,port of call, beaches, excursions..... THE FOOD!!!!!!! OMG You enjoy smiling faces that direct your steps, if your unsure, ALWAYS happy to help. If your looking for YOU time, this is hands down the way to go!!!! I can hardly wait for the next one....  :-)

The ship was beautiful! The activities were ok, I would have liked more musical shows and more shows with guest participation.  They were painting on the ship, which led to me having an asthma attack. The medical staff was very good. The food was the same every day for breakfast, lunch varied a little bit. Dinner had different options. Johnny Rockets was very fulfilling. The other restaurants were reasonably priced and the wait time was good.

We enjoyed the cruise immensely.  With very few exceptions, the service personnel were wonderful.  However, line dance instructor did a great job the first session, but the second session he was not prepared.  Does not need to be fired just need to be talked to, he is a likable person.  I noticed on the last leg of the cruise a few of the lower level wait staff were not as attentive. But these were just the exception not the rule.  We will book Royal Caribbean again.

We decided to pay the extra dollars and try RC instead of Carnival thinking it would be a bit better.  It was not better and in some areas it was worse.  There were several days that the water was not drinkable.  My husband actually had edema in his extremities and elevated blood pressure because of the problem with the desalination system on the ship.  They did not deny the problem and offered bottled water, but the juice, ice and tea were not drinkable because they were also made with the water on board. 

On day one we were essentially trapped in our cabin because the safe in the room was broken and it took almost 7 hours to get the problem resolved.  We were told we must be in the cabin when they came to fix it.  We didn't eat lunch though we later realized we should have ordered room service (something we've never done).  We did not get to roam and discover the amenities on the ship on day one.  We did not get to participate in the sail away party on the pool deck, etc.  And when it was finally fixed we no longer felt like doing anything but going to bed.  They comped us a dinner at one of the specialty restaurants but would not comp us for the Steak House, which was our first choice. 

The service in the dining room was superb but the choices and presentation in the Windjammer Cafe was far below the Carnival Freedom.  The ice show was great but we much preferred Carnival's nightly shows plus comedy shows versus RC's one or the other.  The entertainment in the other venues was okay but nothing to remember. 

We will likely take the Galveston cruise to the Western Caribbean again but we will go back to the Carnival ships and pay less. 

have cruised with royal cribbean 10 or more times in the past decade. finally reached "platinum" status, which is supposed to make the experience much more pleasing. upon arriving for check in we were almost ejected from the platinum check in line because our set/sail/pass did not have the required "P" denoting our cruise level. kind employee "trusted us" to not be lying, so we were allowed to continue. had family with us who were in the "commoners" line. funny how they got thru the line faster than we did. next we had done the online our time dining reservation, but that did not show up on their computers on the ship so had to do that all over again. and did not get the original time requested. did not get the onboard credit we were supposed to get and were told that without our paperwork we were !!! out of luck. had to request soap during the voyage. several times.

seems like everytime we have sailed with RC they cut some service, apparently thinking that no one will notice down in steerage. well we have noticed and will not be going with them anymore. we paid A total of over $4500 for this cruise and were not pleased by anything except the food and service of the staff. end of report!!

My family and I were very disappointed in the poor quality and food choices. My mother came home with a stomach virus from something she ate or drank on the cruise. We do not recommend this cruise to anyone. 

the cruising was fun.  getting off, a hassle.  food is good and dining is a pleasure

all staff encountered were very helpful and pleasure.

there was a problem with chairs and ashtrays dissappearing from designated smoking areas, seemed kind of mean spirited

As first time cruisers, my husband and I were amazed by the hospitality. The staff were friendly and made sure we were enjoyed our time. The ship was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone to utilize. The food lacked variety. We had an interior stateroom on the 10th deck. It was quiet and close to the pool and dinning deck. The embarkation took about 30 mins to get onboard because we were early. The disembarkation was about 2-3 hours due to an incoming storm. We recommend this cruise and look forward to cruising with RC in the future.
