Ship comparisons

[superduper123]

I'm looking for similarities / differences between Navigator, Independence, and Adventure. I was on the Navigator in 2011, and have future cruises booked on the other two. Thanks for any feedback.

Navigator and Adventure are near identical, the same class ship. The Independence is very similar to the other two, being longer is the main difference.

Navigator & Adventure are both Voyager class with the same layout.

 

The Independence is the Freedom class. Basically it's the same layout as the Voyager class, but it's about 90 feet longer in width.

 

The Promenade is larger and the hot tubs on deck 11 in the solarium are moved from the pool area to an outside cantilever position.

oops!!

 

meant 90 feet longer in length.

Another difference since you last sailed on the Navigator is that RCL has taken out the nightclub that used to be on deck 3 & 4 and replaced the space on deck 3 with interior rooms and put a restaurant on deck 4 across from the Schooner bar.

 

On Adventure the restaurant Is Chops Grille.

 

On Freedom the restaurant is Sabor's.

 

While on the Independence next month if you want to see a very creative piece of art (personally I'm not an art's guy) go the front of the ship on the pool deck (11) on the port side.

 

Walk through the glass doors to go to the elevators - look to your left at the landing leading to the 10th floor.

 

Look at the picture - then walk down to the landing and look again - unbelievable creativity by the artist - you'll see something that you will never forget.

Adventure has the metal "cave" (in the hull) balconies, while Indy and Navigator have the more open balconies with the translucent dividers. Balcony dividers cannot be opened on Adventure.
