Help Wanted Please

[kentlady]

Hi, I am hoping to get a bit of advice. We have today booked a cruise to sail on the Navigator in cabin 850 and although we aren’t new to cruising it will be our very first time with Regent so we know absolutely nothing really about best cabin positions etc. I have tried to do a bit of research through these boards but have been unable to find any reviews for this cabin so it would be great if someone knows anything about it while I still have the option to change it if necessary

Hi,

Welcome to Regent - we've only been on the Mariner - but loved it!  You might try this - nothing specific to 850- but some other info you might find helpful

We love Navigator and have two future sailing already booked. We have sailed several times on Navigator. 
Which category is 850?

It would be easier to recommend the best area for a category. 
On Navigator, we prefer closer to front of ship. Aft can be very noisy.

The suite is category D (Concierge), and appears to be above the Casino.

With over 200 nights on Navigator, I know there is a definite, unfixable vibration in the aft suites.  It is highly recommended not to book suites aft of the rear elevator.  You are close, so you may be ok.  As @Silver Sweetheartssays, you are above the casino.  I’ve never stayed there, so can’t say for sure.  I usually stay forward of the front elevators on Deck 5 or 6.

Thank you everyone for your very helpful replies, I did read about the vibration  problem but thought maybe 850 being that bit further forward from the aft would be okay however I didn’t realise the cabin was above the casino not sure how noisy that would be so maybe I will see what is still available with a view to changing.

Although 850 will probably be OK, I would move forward to say between 810 to 825 if there is availability. Do not go too far to the front of the ship or you may be disturbed by the forward winches/anchor chains.

Any of the D grade suites on deck 7 would also be a good choice.

 

Navigator is an excellent ship; compact & friendly. The suites are a good size.

I love the Vibrator - rocks me to sleep at night!

I agree with Flossie…Aka Susan!

Magic fingers. When I was a kid, when we stopped at motels on road trips, you could put a quarter in the bed and it would vibrate.

I've booked cabin #938. Is there anything I should be aware of? Noise, location, good things, etc.

Thanks!

The Pool Grill is just above this suite. Not the best….

Yes, I agree with @Bellaggio Cruisers, you will hear scrapping from tables and chairs being moved above.  Deck 9 is notorious with sounds from the Pool Grill.  Be aware.

Dear Navigator Lovers,

 

This is probably not the place, but we booked a Grand Suite on the Navigator and wanted to know what you love about the Navigator and, besides the aft vibration issues, what you do not like.  If this topic has been discussed before, please let me know.

 

Thanks and stay safe.

We have stayed in a Grand Suite on the Navigator.  Are you looking for comments about the Suite or the ship in general?  

[Snackdaddy]

Hello Silver Sweethearts,

 

If you could provide both that would be great.

 

Thank you.

If you refer to the 'sticky' on this Board, SuiteGuru, there are reviews of the Navigator suites on deck 9.

Main issues appear to be the small balconies and noise from the Pool Deck.

Flossie,

   Thank you for all the great info on the Navigator along with the posts from past sailings. All of the comments should cement my commitment to sail on this unique ship.

With almost 500 nights, Navigator is our favorite ship. We like the fact that it is small and has a rear observation deck. The vibrations are character plus we aren't into "fancy" decorations - absolutely our favorite.

Dear Navigator Lovers,

Thank you very much for sharing your encouraging experiences and links to other threads about the Navigator.  It sounds like we have something very special to look forward to.

Thank you again and stay safe.
