93beachbum Posted February 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi everyone, Just got off the Navigator today on a quick 3 day cruise. Disappointed we missed Coco Cay, as it is one of my favorite places to visit. Highs -service was great - nice layout. Very similar to Freedom. Easy to get around -Sabor guacamole and margaritas are amazing. My new favorite snack and drinks on board Lows -poor casino lay out with limited new slots -missed coco cay -they could do a better job at cleaning up glasses laying around ship I completed another class off my bucket list. All I have left is the Quantum class. Not sure when that will happen, as those ships aren't based in Florida. Hopefully next up will be Harmony next year. The Oasis class is still my favorite. I am cheating on Royal Caribbean this summer and heading out on NCL's Escape. If you have any questions about Navigator let me know and I will do my best to answer.

Clarea Posted February 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Sorry you missed Coco Cay. Just want to confirm that there are still no Freestyle machines on Navigator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpayroll Posted February 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the input. Navigator is up next for us in April. Was on it back in 2009. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktbr11crs Posted February 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the report. Our next cruise is on Navigator; nice to hear about the great service you had. One question for you: Do you know if they have the area in the MDR for Diamond (and above) for breakfast on Navigator? I believe it was originally on ships without a DL, but I think some ships with a DL are doing it and we've always had great service. Thanks!

Paulette3028 Posted February 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2016 No Freestyle machines on Navigator. We did have a separate area for Diamonds and above in the MDR for breakfast. We sailed in Nov. 2015 over Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know about the Diamond area for breakfast, and now I won't be tempted to get a soda package since they don't have Freestyle machines. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93beachbum Posted February 28, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted February 28, 2016 No freestyle machines, but there is an open area in the windjammer where you can walk up and fill up your soda cup. The waiters say it's ok to do. Also, I forgot to mention that the Ice show was really good and a must see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the only guest soda machines (other than Freestyle) I've ever seen on a Royal ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mompells Posted February 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I am going to be on the NOS on 03/19/16. Can anyone guide me to finding how to get involved in the ROLL CALL for that cruise? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted February 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 29, 2016 There is a reason people call it "Coco Maybe".. Maybe you'll stop, maybe you wont. I'm probably 60 percent for stopping/40 percent missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the only guest soda machines (other than Freestyle) I've ever seen on a Royal ship. My wife will be happy to hear about this. Self serve in the Windjammer huh? She and one of our daughters will have the pop package, so this will be a very convenient way to get pop while hanging out on the pool deck.

5soonerfans Posted February 29, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We were also on that cruise and had an enjoyable time even without being able to go to Coco Cay. The crew was friendly and service was good. I agree that the casino layout could be better, but all the dealers (with the exception of one) were very nice and fun, especially at the craps table. We did decide that 3 day cruises are just too short for us since we have to fly to the ports so only 4 nights or longer for us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was George from Serbia the "Sanitize Guy" back on the Navigator? He was there in 2013 and taught my daughter how to dance the cha cha. He was a dance instructor in Serbia and put on a great sanitize show in the Wind Jammer every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAOk1945 Posted February 29, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise. The Navigator is a wonderful ship. We cruised on her last year to celebrate my wife's birthday. Smooth sailing on your next cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patreke Posted February 29, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 29, 2016 HI Can you go into Sabor for just guacamole & a margarita or is it just a full meal dining option? Is it open for lunches? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
