Dr. Pam Posted January 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just a quick note to let inquiring minds know that I am onboard the NOS and having a wonderful time. Ship is clean, staff is friendly, food is good albeit maybe not as many selections in the windjammer, but I have not been disappointed. I am a luxe traveller and I am not disappointed. Just returned from private excursion in Curacao called Resort for a Day. It was at the Santa Barbara Resort. What a fantastic find. Also, we did the Chef's Table the other evening and everyone please note that it takes place in the Windjammer. Everything great however the location could be improved on. We have dined at Izumi (great) and Giovanni's (good). We also did My time Dining on the first formal night and were pleasantly surprised with the attentive service and good food We are in an OS and love the space and the bed is comfy! Concierge Lounge is small and the Diamond Lounge is big and beautiful. Half way into the cruise, I am giving this 2 thumbs up! We are in Aruba tomorrow followed by Bonaire the next day and then 2 sea days. We are really enjoying this relaxed itinerary. I will post a full review when I return home. If anyone has any quick questions, I will try to answer in the next few days. Happy and Safe travels!; :)Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roofire Posted January 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Looking forward to your review. We are thinking of trying the same itinerary later in the year. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richst48 Posted January 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We love Navigator, sailed on her 3 times and did that same itinerary week before last. Had a great time! Loved Curaçao! We were in OS 1314. Had that suite all 3 times. Alan in the Diamond Lounge is the best concierge we have had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shows/entertainment have you attended or planned in coming days. Where is the D lounge located as we have not been on a Voyager class in many a year.

George C Posted January 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2017 WE are big fans of this ship, we did Izumi on another ship and it was terrible , it was great on all our visits on Navigator. Who is current suite concierge ? The concierge lounge is so much nicer on some of the other ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Teeara Posted January 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Good to hear a positive report on Navigator. If you see them offering a drink card, please let us know what day it was offered and the cost. Thanks! According to the 12/9/16 compasses that were recently posted, the drink card became available on Day 4. It is listed as follows: Visit Any Bar Onboard to Purchase Your Drink Card 10 drinks for $79 plus 18% service charge. Save on your favorite drinks during this sailing with our special onboard promotion. You may use the card to purchase multiple drinks at once - so treat yourself, your family or new friends and raise a glass to saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted January 25, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I got off the Navigator 1/15/17. A 10 drink card was offered for $79 on day 5 or 6 of the 9 day cruise On the last 5 day cruise it did....on the 15th, it was only offered on the last day.....works out to about $10/drink...not really any savings and great if your going to drink 10 days on ur last day. I doubt many ppl would, as if they planned on drinking 10 drinks a day or more, would just get the drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David9261 Posted January 26, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Glad you are having a great time on Navigator of the Seas. I love reading your reviews.

David9261 Posted January 26, 2017 #24 Share Posted January 26, 2017 From what I have read, the freestyle machines are not on Navigator of the Seas. Too bad, I was looking forward to having it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
