You mean the cabins on deck 11 and 12? Or Navigator Mexican route?

Hello, We've only sailed in Oasis class before (Oasis twice and Allure once) and we're thinking of going on Navigator of the Seas this time. (We've also done Disney Dream, but that was 4 nights only). I want to manage my expectations and thought I'd ask you here. 🙂 1. One of the reasons why we were on Oasis class only is because I get seasick. It was the worst when I was on Allures going to Eastern Caribbean, and it was the least when I took Oasis from NJ - perhaps we're close to the shore? We're thinking of Navigator, going to Mexico, leaving from LA in the summer. Would the movement be an issue? where should we get the stateroom? We always have done mid/aft oceanview balcony and worked well. but again, this is a different route, and it is also a smaller ship, so not sure if the same will apply. 2. When we were on Oasis last year, we were pretty excited to be back as it says she was 'amplified'. Then we learned the cabins are not updated. It clearly was showing the age. Navigator being an older ship, would this be the same case? Is there a particular room/rooms where she'd be more updated? 3. Kids club - Oasis had a lot of kids - we sailed in last August and the ship was just massive. Will Navigator also have good number of kids? Our daughter wants to make friends (she is 9 y/o). We're also looking at the end of August sail - and was wondering what to expect since most of the California schools will be back. 4. I've heard the show quality is kind of so-so, except for the skating show. We were pretty big on broadway shows that Oasis class had - Hair Spray, Cats, Mamma Mia! -, and I dont know what the Navigator show is about. Is this a child-friendly show? And do they have other shows? - like the Aqua show? 5. I've also heard that you dont have to book the shows in advance - is that true? What about My Time Dining? 6. Service and food - I assumed this really varies ship to ship and time of the year, etc. I am okay if service and food is at par with my other cruise experience. Can anyone comment, if you have traveled recently? TBH, we did see the service level changed (to worse) last year, but we also had a benefit of the doubt that it is because they just came back from COVID and was hard to predict. I am hoping it will be a slightly better experience though. We normally don't do specialty dining. So our experiences are limited to Windjammer for lunch and MDR for dinner. Thank you so much!
