bkr50 Posted February 10, 2015 #26 Share Posted February 10, 2015 LOL - You are so right about the upselling. I'll admit I was one of those frenzied shoppers in my earlier days of cruising. I learned my lesson when 1) the designer watch and earrings set I purchased turned out to be a big disappointment. First, my watch literally fell apart on the plane back home and a piece of it fell into the aisle only to be stepped on by a passenger on their way to the lavatory. When I got home, I realized the "pearl" earrings were actually made of plastic. 2) On another cruise, my sister purchased a beautiful gold-tone necklace and earring set. One night after returning home she decided to wear it out to dinner. Her husband, a down-home country boy told her to "take that cheap looking ^&^() off". But I will admit I LOVE the $10 sales and always purchase one of the $10 watches to wear in port and usually one of the tote bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzamocca1 Posted February 10, 2015 #27 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I couldn't have said it better....the upsetting will not promote repeat business. One woman on her first RCCL cruise said NEVER AGAIN. She had upsetting, noise, rowdy passengers and poor food as her reasons. There was a group of very ... very... very noisy people on the ship...I understand several hundred in the group... Example...one afternoon I went up to the top deck lounge to read. A group of about 25 brought their "boom box" and made sure everyone on that deck was part of their noise. This continued for several days and no one came to request a cool down. The noise continued and made it difficult to even have a conversation in the Diamond Lounge. Ozzamocca1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsK Posted February 10, 2015 #28 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Do they have the Freestyle Coke Machines on the Navigator? I know I've seen a list somewhere but can't find it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 10, 2015 #29 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Do they have the Freestyle Coke Machines on the Navigator? I know I've seen a list somewhere but can't find it at the moment. I've not seen any reports that Freestyle machines are on Navigator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time i didnt notice them. I did notice the grumpy old 55+ typical cruise crowd to be an extra pain in the butt on this cruise....down right obnoxious... But i can write an entire additional review on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitlioner Posted February 11, 2015 #31 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Do they have the Freestyle Coke Machines on the Navigator? I know I've seen a list somewhere but can't find it at the moment. Navigator does not have the Freestyle Coke Machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmares1968 Posted February 17, 2015 #35 Share Posted February 17, 2015 My November 2014, Navigator of the seas experience. Overall we had a great time! I walked through the promenade during the sales on the last day and on several other days. Not once did anyone try sell me a thing. I did purchase a new hand bag on my own. As far as rowdy passengers, I never noticed them. We had a really nice cruise. The food was good, not amazing, but it wasn't horrible as some have said. I'm a Foodie and my favorite meals were in the chop house and the main dining room. I had duck one night that was delicious! We ate at Izumi, sabor, chop house, Johnny Rockets and the windjammer. I also don't have another cruise to compare this too as this was our first. We have another booked next January on Oasis of the seas. I'm pretty sure we're going to be addicted. Hubby is already talking about booking an Alaskan cruise and a Meditteranian. [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzieSue Posted February 18, 2015 #36 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Deptacon ... 1st photo, post #4 ... love those sandals!!! Do tell, where they were purchased ?? :) Loved the review - simple and to the point !! Loved the photos !! We have been to those same ports twice and it brought back good memories. I agree, Jamaica is too beautiful to be scared - use common sense and good judgment and have a great visit. Everyone (native Jamaicans) we met were just awesome, nice people. I would not hesitate to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted February 18, 2015 #37 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Great information. Navigator and Freedom are two of my favorites. I was glad to see on my next Freedom cruise we will be in port with Navigator 3 times. I hope my balcony is on the pier side to watch the running of the later arrivals.

vettecruiser1 Posted February 18, 2015 #38 Share Posted February 18, 2015 We are on in 2 weeks. I have a couple of questions. When and where do you pickup Ice show tickets? Do you have the Menu order for the MDR? Trying to figure out what 2 nights to go to a Sabor and Chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1 Posted February 19, 2015 #39 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I concur with so many other poster's. Pictures have good composition, and great exposures. And I also agree with your comments on up-selling, and how many might agree on clearance sales. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
