kentlady Posted January 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC in CA Posted January 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2022 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 Jerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted January 13, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2022 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. sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sweethearts Posted January 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The suite is category D (Concierge), and appears to be above the Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCCruzQueen Posted January 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) 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.

kentlady Posted January 14, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted January 14, 2022 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. .

flossie009 Posted January 14, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2022 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 9 is notorious with sounds from the Pool Grill. Be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snackdaddy Posted January 15, 2022 #14 Share Posted January 15, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise, location, good things, 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgerdoug Posted January 15, 2022 #19 Share Posted January 15, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
