I'm curious about this as well. We are going on RCL Navigator in April and it seems like the island tour that includes "Hell" Turtle Farm & Stingray city is a bit too much for my 5 yr old in one day. Would really like to go to Turtle Farm, has anyone been their on their own outside of a tour?

oops...that all shifted after I posted...you can see all new info on website

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Our cruise leaves on a Sunday, so I was checking on Saturday flights. It's actually $300 cheaper to fly down Friday, which more than covers a 2nd night at hotel. This is my 4-yr old daughters first airplane ride & cruise, so I'd rather have the piece of mind and buy the non-stop flights now so we have them.

I want to get our hotel booked too, because they are booking fast and prices are going up since I looked a few months ago.

Actually the cost with Jetblue was the same as ChoiceAir, only choice air charged the $45 processing fee.

I didn't know if there were any benefits to booking through Choice air for the extra $45.

We are going on Navigator April 2016 and I've been chomping at the bit to get our airfare booked from CLE or CAK to FLL. We haven't traveled by air in quite a few years and we are in a bit of sticker shock at prices and minimal to nonexistant amount of non-stop flights. Southwest is only booking through beginning of April right now and they seem to be the only airline that doesn't charge for bags. I found Jetblue flights direct & through cruiseair, good thing is they are non-stop both ways, but we'd have to pay for checked bags. Only difference in price appeared to be the $45 processing fee with cruiseair. Anyone have experience using cruiseair they can share and what exactly is the difference between booking direct with jetblue or through cruiseair. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

This is where we stayed before, price for room included free airport shuttle when we arrived and shuttle to port next morning. That was a few yrs ago though so check to make sure they still offer

Finally planning a cruise for 2016, it's been TOO LONG!!

Looking at Navigator of Seas - 6 nighter out of FLL in April 2016.

Our last cruise 2 cruises we had Promenade room & Oceanview....READY FOR AN UPGRADE :)

Looking for opinions/feedback on 3 rooms

will be cruising with DH & 5 yr old daughter.

I have motion sickness issues normally.

E1 Deluxe Oceanview w/balcony

D1 Superior Oceanview w/balcony

New Panoramic Oceanview (Deck 12)

So on the Panoramic rooms, only negatives I've read is the Fog horn & not good for those with motion issues. Like that it has sofa bed for 5 yr old & view above bridge.

For only a few hundred more we can book a balcony room. Wondering how 5 yr old would do with Pullman bed, I've seen some pics, looks like they aren't all located in same place of cabin from pics I've seen online. Also curious is couch would be big enough for her to sleep on.

Would like feedback on issues with cigarette smoke on balconies. We are non-smokers and sensative to smell (DH has bad allergies). I've been dying to cruise in a balcony room!! Plus seeing the horizon helps my motion issues. Do I have to worry about balcony door with 5 yr old?

Also would love any info on kids club Age 3-5 area!

Look forward to your feedback & advice!

Ken Rush is our favorite!!

My husband liked him so much he wants to find out where he's going to be when we plan our next cruise!

I was on Liberty in February. Since we boarded right at 1pm, we dropped our carry-on bags at our room and headed right to the Windjammer for lunch. Chops & Portofino are right inside the entrance of Windjammer. I suggest if you aren't starving for lunch to stop in real quick to make your reservation. I was talking to another couple who had been on Liberty B2B and they said to go right away. When I got in there, there was a line of about 6-8 people, and they had 2 staff members making reservations. I only had to wait about 5-10 mins. Make sure you have in mind before you go what night and about what time you want to go. It seemed like a few people ahead of me had no clue what nights they wanted to eat and that held up the line a bit. As for a table of 10. I'm not positive, but I think they can arrange for that. I saw a large group in there, but didn't count the number of people. Chops was a great dinner night, definately worth the extra money! Have fun! :D

I'd have to say our professional pictures from our cruise. Also the FREE artwork we got from an art auction we went to on our day at sea. I got a really nice frame at Joann's when we got home, for 50% off. It looks like a million bucks! :D

Here are pictures in Nassau, Bahamas when we were on Sovereign of the Seas. The Norwegian Spirit was next to us that day in port.

We only had one formal night on 4-night cruise. This is a dress I borrowed from my friend, who wore it on her cruise. We are going on cruise together in Feb, guess we can take the same dress and we could each wear it a different night! :)

The closest to a "Celebrity" spotting we had on our first cruise was Mrs. Mississippi, Miss Mississippi & Miss Teen Mississippi! What a mouthfull! I didn't even know they were on the ship until formal night during picture taking! They were dressed to the Hilt, like there was going to be contest on the boat that night! They had absolutely stunning dresses on, along with their sashes and crowns! Kinda cool!
