did that include the tips.

I will be sailing on the NOS from Southampton, calling at Le Harve, Bilbao and Gijon.

 

So if you have any questions, just ask and i will try and answer.

Can you find out the daily price of the deluxe drinks package.

Its much better in the viking lounge compared to the old dingy nite club .

they had them in the cafe last september along with pork pie and steak and kidney pies.

Varies. Undiscounted on-board price is at least $55/day plus 18%. Might be less expensive pre-cruise.

We paid in pound sterling £43.41 per day including the 18%,thats £55.56 dollors a day US.thats for Navigator in september.

Any one know the price of the Deluxe drinks package per day.

Yes, she laughed then made me a great Cosmo. :)

We are having a very good cruise. The food in MDR has been fine. Tonight's Lamb was superb.

Wasnt it good,proper mint sauce too.thanks for saying hello to Anne-Marie,if you want her to laugh ask her for a pineapple cocktail;then she will tell you all about that woman..

LOL Is that better than negative and honest?

 

I haven't done an online review but have provided direct feedback to RCCL. We enjoyed our NOS cruise in August but because of the time of the year(school holidays) and lack of control by some parents and officers there were some pretty significant problems with the behaviour of some of the tweens and teens on board. We liked the ship, the staff, the food and the ports but it was not our favourite cruise from the point of view of the behaviour of some other passengers. The policy of not allowing minors in public places on their own meant that some formed gangs running up and down the stateroom corridors shouting and banging on doors , lounging around on the staircases causing obstructions, pushing in front of people, riding up and down and pushing all the buttons in the lifts etc. In my opinion a few patrols by officers and returning them to their parents would have helped. They were being normal teenagers but someone should have pulled them in to line.

 

This is not a moan - we enjoyed our cruise - but it is positive, negative and honest :)

Totally agree,thats why i mentioned there were only 50 children onboard and why we never go in school holiday,out of the 50 only 2 as i saw were over 5.I spoke to some of the staff about this and they said where has all the noise gone.Read reviews about the long wait at bars but no sign of that on this cruise ,Sky bar had 7 working there.

Thanks for this. We are on there soon. Keep getting mixed reviews but I focus on the positive ones like yours!

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

I agree,think some just like to moan.Mine is Positve and honest.

I'm on Navigator now. We don't have a drinks package (booked onboard previously and paid a lower price to avoid it). We are D+ so the 3 1/2 hours 'cocktail time' are plenty for us. Water is fine for me during the day and DH brought Caffeine free Diet Coke onboard in Southampton.

Say Hello to Anne-Marie in the diamond lounge,from Phil.

Boarded at 11.15am 10 mins.Fom Southampton.

Ship is in very good condition comparing with her 10 years ago,maybee the bathrooms in cabin a little jaded.

All other public areas still look fresh,good quick service at all bars including the pool and sky bar on sailaways.footnote only 30 children on board.

Nearly everyone had a drinks package of some sort which is a must as single drinks are expensive,i had premium package and averaged 12 drinks a day so it was well worth it.[only very tipsy on 2 occasions].

Food..Breakfasts are far better than sailing from an American port,for the British anyway ie..back bacon grilled tomatoe,back pudding,fried bread,english sausage,mushrooms,unfortunate for me as i had the full works every day.

Duck has now gone from dinner with the lobster tail,but cleverly replaced with Fish and chips and 4 lamb cutlets,dinners in general were better than some cruises of the past and portion size bigger,and desserts were stunning.

we had very hot weather in spain nearly 40c/104f,which ment the drinks package was badly needed.

All in all a fantastic time,3 of the staff remembered me from 10 years ago.

PS Having sailed on Quantum last time,all though the food was top notch,the traditional dining on Navigator is, ie.. waiter,buss boy and drinks waiter is first class.

Any questions..???????????

New Seekers and nomoreknothead - Please, Please, come back and report on your cruises and include photo of the ship, menus, etc. if you can. Enjoy your cruises!!

Will report,but dont know how to post pics.

Going on her on Sunday,last time was 10 years ago,and the schools go back on monday,so it should be less hectic.

There are always lots of children in school holidays thats why we booked the4th september.

Would never book a cruise in the school hoildays,thats why we booked the 4th september,will let you know what its like then.Very surprised they havnt had a major incident with children running around on their own.

We had a great time last week - great weather every day.

 

Get your feet of my table...lol.

Yahoo! We are booked on Navigator again... Corner aft 7688 (We had to try the other side of the ship too) :D

 

At $97 per person per day, 9 days of cruising in our corner aft, and a visit to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, we could not resist.

Its our Corner aft..lol,weve done both sides,for a change.

.....

Thank you! I figured out the issue with the sizes and it should be more consistent tomorrow. I will repost the small room pictures at the very end of the review for those interested in the room pictures a bit larger than 24kb's... Yikes!:eek:

Great Review,we have 7388 for our 14 night Med cruise in September,looks like theve re-floored the balcony.We booked in March last year to get that room.We had the same on Explorer in 2012.

You have posted just what i like to see..Phil.

PS we are diamond plus and dont get the bathroom shampoos etc,maybee its the corner balcony treat.

Brilliant! Really cannot stand Rab C . Nice to see you are still enjoying cruising. We are on Quantum Barcelona to Dubai in May. What a laugh about reactions to the string vest. I take it you have cast yours aside? Margaret ex Mariner 2012

Very funny,Margert,love to you both.

This wouldn't be so bad would it?

 

 

I might not want sit with someone dressed like that but that's still better than some of the Walmart people. Fashion taste is subjective.:cool:

Love it.

Having just been on Quantum ,i was horrified to see them let men in the so called Grande resturant ,wearing a string vest and teeshirts under what would only be called a well worn Jacket.Really not very Royal.

thank you so much........we leave Saturday with our four kids and I was getting so worried with the negativity.......I know we will have a great time. Question: is the ship decorated Christmas? It is a first time away over the holiday. thanks again and glad you had a great cruise............Jenny

Nice big tree outside the pub
