Just off Navigator! Review

[IResQU]

Okay

I will try to be short, sweet and complete!

I will try to break this into the different topics,

Food, So so not great. Windjammer was okay, alot of food quanity but not alot of variety. and just so-so.

We had the BEST waitstaff in the world in the dining room. Edwin Maya from Phillipines, He was wonderful! Miss him already!

 

Per him, and other waitstaff we asked, NO more lobster! (could be just on this boat because it's 5 days) Was disappointed.

 

Ocean Adventure Club, Oh my Gosh these people rock. Kids cried when we got off the boat, because they miss them already! They were all wonderful. They even stayed late a few nites, (until 12 or 1 ) because they had napped, and wanted to go play with them. I will never hesitate to use them or recoomend them again!

 

Missed the ice-show and alot of other shows. so cannot comment on them, HOWEVER< we did participate in Quest, it was the best time ever!

We enoyed every minute and I have some great video footage of alot of macho men doing some funny stuff!

 

Casino was nice, our travel buddies won 500 bucks on the slot at once and 125 later.

 

Dance club was okay, not the best by far, but it all depends on who's on your boat.

 

Cozumel, Could pass on this port. Didn't care for it much. I rank it just above Ocho Rios (imo). Just seemed dirty, and ot a pretty spot. Margaritaville was the best part (couldn't go to carlos and charlies, or senior frogs, because of kids) BUT, There is not a water trampoline there or a swimming area suitable for most people or children at all. Just swimming off a dock, that is DEEP water (per staff)

 

Belize, We did Bannister Island. Was very Pretty. Nice spot, but by 2 pm, we were all ready to get back to boat. (island ran out of most food, bathrooms got pretty nasty, drinks were just so-so) But a beautiful spot. The sand stinks there though. very rocky/crushed shell, hard to play on!.

The BAR-B-Q was awesome back on the boat! Enjoyed it ALOT!

 

My caparison between this ship and Carnival Victory, Food selection and (i feel) the qualty was actually beter on the Victory. Moe Storage room on he victory (in our room) then on the Nav. BUT, The Nav. is such a classier ship! I would Sail her again in a minute. Food is not worth giving up on everything else we loved. We enjoyed ourselves so much very relaxing.

 

Boarding> Showed up at port at 11:20am, was onboard by 11:45! ate lunch, donned our suits, and Played all day. It was like an extra vacation day! Our room was even ready, so we were set!

Disembarkation>

Took one hour overall. Was not horrible, but can see alot of room for improvement!

 

Was I sad getting off ship, yeah, but The best part of our cruise is this,

I was doing some heavy duty talking to my dh to book another cruise while onboard, To no avail. As we were waiting for the Pirate Parade (our kids were in) I begged to go to Bingo to play one card, Well, It was 1 card for 15$ or 4 for 45$ Well, dh played one of my cards, and WON THE FREE CRUISE!!!

So, atleast we know that within the next year we will be onboard a ship again! SO now I can plan the next one!

Please ask any questions, I will try to answer!

What class of room, and what room number? Glad to hear disembarkation was only an hour, sounds like they are improving. They have time to improve more before I get there.

We were on the Navigator in January and loved it also! I'd sail again in a heartbeat! :)

 

Glad you had a good time.
