Navigator of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

On Saturday 23 February 2013 my wife and I left for Jamica, Grand Cayman and Mexico. We arrived at the ship at approximately 1030, we were greated at the dock with friendly attitudes and smiling faces. We were unable to enter our state room until 1300, and were told that lunch was being served at 1100. We were greated at the entrance of the Wind Jammer cafe again with friendly attitudes and smiling faces. Once 1300 arrived we were told our state room was ready. During the course of our 7 night cruise we had nothing but the best food, best state room accomodations and the best service from some of the best people from every corner of this earth. Our trip was the most enjoyable vacation one could ever take. The Cappela dinning room was the area we dined in and our waiter was one of the best in the world ( I hope she hears about this) her name was Eva from Romainia, she made my wife and I feel that we were members of not only the Royal Carribean family but, her's as well. We had nothing but great food and fun with the staff and the other couples that dined along side us. I hope to once again enjoy the Royal Carribean family and be able to cruise again sometime in the near future. I want to thank all of the staff and crew of this fine ship, the Navigator of the Seas.

We have cruised on only Carnival before, but we loved our trip on Royal Caribbean "Navigator of the Seas" The crew was great and the meals were so great that we are now dieting to lose all the weight we put on eating so good! Great entertainment too!! We had excellent weather the whole trip and wonderful excursions each day. The 2 I booked through Cruises Only were very good, although the one on Cayman had some different places that were added, we were ok with them. I love cruises and look forward to many more!

Great staff, excellent drinks, great premium drink packages! The sanitizer guy outside the windjamer cafe had me laughing every more along with many others encouraging them to sanitize their hands.

this was a marginal experience due to the large number of unruly and disruptive children and adolescents. the weather patterns brought everyone inside ship for several days, and hooliganism was more noticeable. might be a good idea to limit the percentage mix of adults and children, or advertise that some of these cruises are "family"

Nice ship, large balcony stateroom. Very good service from crew. Ice show was very good. Food from new menu was best we have had on our previous seven cruises. Stage shows were so so. Swimming with the stingrays on Grand Caymen with Captian Marvin's was wonderful. Would sail on this ship again.

The Navigator of the Seas far exceeded our expectations in most areas. The stateroom was quite spacious with a beautiful balcony. The pools, restaurants, shops, entertainment was perfect. The only little complaint was a couple not great dinners in the dining room. They were ok, but we were spoiled with everything else being great. We look forward to booking our next cruise.

SHIP WAS GREAT ,SERVICE WAS GREAT,FOOD WAS ABOVE AVERAGE. PORTS OF CALL WERE OK . NEW ORLEANS WAS GREAT ,GRAND CAYMAN WAS GREAT .FALMOUTH DONT BOTHER GETTING OFF THE SHIP, COZUMEL WAS OK FOR SHOPPING.ON BOAER ENT. WAS OUTSTANDING,AS WERE THE LECTURES.

My wife and I were taking this cruise for our 25th Anniversary and we had a great time. The ship had everything you needed on board. The crew was top notch and made it a fun time to be at sea. Our waiters were awesome and took extra special care each night to make us feel comfortable and informed about what to expect each day. We plan on taking another cruise soon.

Paid for our cruise up front and 3 excursions , $110 dollar mystery meal and the premium drinking package . Was having a great time until we went to gets drinks and the bartender said you will have to pay cash these cards are not good. So we went down 6 floors to the front desk and showed our paper work of our prepaid drinking package , they said we are so sorry it is fixed now . Go back to the 11th floor pool deck bar order drinks and in front of a crowd the bartender said sir your card is good but your wife has to pay cash. Back down 6 floors to the front desk oh sir we are so sorry it's fixed now , get back to our room and that night i check our billing on the tv and they charge me another 714 dollars for the drinking package, wemt back down to the desk they said sir we are sorry we will gice you credit back and they did. so on to the mystery dinner dressed formal sitting with about 6 other couples they ask for our drink order and I said a crown and coke waited about 20 minutes got up went to the bar in the lobby got my own. When I finshed the waitdress came by to chec on our table and I ask for the same drink and my wife wanted a redbull vodka waited about 20 minutes went back to the lobby and got them again, at this point the female manager from hungary said sir your not allowed anymore drinks and i explained that i had the unlimed package and i was not being loud or drunk or cussing and she said no more. Then the people at our table laid into her saying what has he done , what did he do and an 84 yr old ladie told her he has done nothing and you are rude. Well she calls security and the main manager over all the ships restaurants and he calls me outside we talk for about 5 mins and he say's i see no reason why you can't drink told the table he was sorry and gave everyone at the table a free dinner at Chops steak house the next night. But it ruined my night and the rest of my cruise.

We enjoyed our week on the Navigator of the Seas. The boat was very clean and the staff very friendly. Next time we cruise we will probably just use the smaller dinning areas and pay the extra. The buffet is also very good.

How should I begin? To start, I had reserved a wheelchair accessible room for 4 people. We were taking my 89 year old mother on her first cruise. I heard so many great things about RCCL. However, 4 weeks prior to our sailing, my mom got the flu and passed away. We decided to go ahead with the cruise in her memory but low and behold RCCL said we could not keep the room since no one was wheelchair bound. They were not accommodating or compassionate at all with our situation. So we had to cancel our reservation and then rebook. We asked that our room be set up for 3 separate beds. When we arrived it was set up for one. Went to customer relations and they said it would be taken care of. Located cabin steward (who was magnificent to us) and he never got the instructions - but he took care of it for us. When we got to the terminal it was kaos. Super Bowl and Mardi Gras was going on and the cruise line told us to arrive no later than 10:30 a.m. which we did - oh my word! After we finally got to park and check in - which went smoothly - we were herded into a waiting room. Instead of letting people go aboard when there was no line they made everyone wait for Crown passengers. I understand that but if you have no line you should let others go to keep embarkation going. This procedure needs to be reviewed. Food on board was sub-standard to the other cruise lines I have been on. I realize that a new menu was being implemented and will give RCCL the benefit of the doubt that it was due to that. Most of the food was prepared to my satisfaction. I guess my biggest complaint was the lack of compassion to our situation when my mom could not longer sail with us. I know the cruise lines upgrade and they could have considered that due to our situation.

I loved cruising on the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas out of New Orleans. Despite traffic from Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl, we arrived early enough to park in the "whale" lot and got on the ship before noon. The Navigator of the Seas is decorated Mardi Gras style with life-sized statues of revelers greeting you at the casino entrance and glass bottomed floors filled with N.O. memorabilia. On the Royal Promenade are themed bars and shops, and service desk, as well as 3 levels of inside cabins whose rooms overlook the promenade. Quite a lovely site. At night on the Royal Promenade we were treated to "shows" of 70's music and a parade. Dining was plentiful and delicious. We were treated to the new menu and it was hard to choose among the offerings. In the 3 level formal dining room, you can't help but notice the huge chandelier. The ship was immaculate and the crew was very attentive. This ship had one of the best crews I have ever had the pleasure to know. Nighttime shows were the least interesting, except for the singer Kenny James. Many cruisers mentioned that they missed the Las Vegas style shows, and the "crew" shows have only computer generated background instead of sets.The pool deck is divided into a Solarium for adults only and a family pool area. In the Solarium are a pool, 2 hot tubs, a bar and plenty of seating. In the other pool area are 2 good sized pools, hot tubs and plenty of seating. For the athletically inclined you will find a rock -climbing wall, mini-golf and basketball court as well as a gym and spa. Personally, I can recommend the bamboo massage. For improvements, i would suggest having flat-screen televisions in the rooms, pool towels in the rooms and reclining chairs on the verandas. All in all, I loved this ship and will be sailing again soon.

Really enjoyed the cruise. The problem arose waiting in our car for 3 hours while they tried to find a parking lot for us. Then returning to New Orleans with some miss information about how to get back to the parking lot where our car was. Another 2 hour delay.

So looking forward to cruising on RCI -- not impressed! We had nice weather and relaxing time -- just expected more from RCI. Nightly entertainment was very mediocre. I did like the salad bar at lunch in the dinning room. Very disappointed in "My Time" dining. Very poor set up -- needed reservations and they were limited times and you had to do it a day in advance.

Royal Carribean is a great cruise line. The service is excellent. The food is fantastastic. There was not a single dish that we ordered that we did not love. Although Royal Carribean has cut out a few things they used to do, such as the Chocolate Buffet, we still prefer Royal Carribean over all other cruise lines.

We loved the Ice Skating show. Best show this cruise! Did not like the dancing show with all the girls in bras and bikins and the street talk. This show is not for children! I am thankful we didnt bring our grand children with us, and that is what I had wanted to do on next cruise! This was not like our other cruises on Royal Caribean! We like to eat at the Windjamer, but this time the food was not as good as in the past, Mostly I didn't like the long lines to get your eggs cooked. I just gave up waiting in line and ate the already prepaired cold eggs.

Most of the cruise was very enjoyable, however once I decided to go with the Premium Drink Package the wait staff started treating me and my friends as second class. I asked some questions and it would appear the tip from such packages go into a general fund and then get split among all of the wait staff at the end. I would like to see each wait staff member gets the automatic tip directly each time the card is used.

We had never been to New Orleans and since it was a convenient drive from Atlanta, we decided to try this port. We were very pleased at how easy the port is to get to, to park and to board the ship. We hadn't counted on it being Mardi Gras but that added to the fun! The ship was wonderful! We had a great balconey room, fantastic service and met wonderful new friends! The crowd on the ship in January was a mature, senior crowd so if you are a party animal this is not for you. We will definately use this port again and continue to travel on Royal Caribbean in the future!

We sailed on the Navigator of the Seas. The Ship, the room, and the service was outstanding. We had a New experience at Portofinos Italian Restaurant and it was excellent. We will be sure to try others in the future. Johnny Rockets was an interesting experience. we would definitely sail on Royal Carribbean in the future.

It was a very satisfying experience to cruise on the navagitor of the seas. it is a clean and well kept ship. I have been on several cruises and the staff was far above the others i have been on. every one was so friendly and catered to your needs and the food was very good also. the person who took care of or cabin was well versed in english and kept in clean. GREAT TRIP. LESTER EDWARDS
