    @first time cruiser pat I got my colour scheme wrong, it’s light grey with navy blue and silver theme. 😂 

    I actually have to thank you for getting me to go there, I wouldn’t have gone had you not of asked and it’s now one of my favourite spots! Great drink selection, great views and just a great space. 

    Congratulations to your son and I hope you have a wonderful cruise!

    @first time cruiser pat We went to the Viking Lounge last night, the picture is not the best due to low lighting in there. 

    However, it’s a lovely room with plenty of seating, it looks like it’s been refurbished. It’s all light/ dark grey themed and the drinks menu is excellent, especially as all the cocktails are included in the drinks package at under $13. 

    If we go back during the day I’ll try and get some more pictures.

    Thank you so much!!  I just forwarded them the picture. It looks very nice.  That is the room they met in. We are so excited.   Thank you again for going out of your way during your vacation it is so appreciated.  ❤️

    To Dry For is open 8am-10pm everyday. 

    You can book by calling a number on the cruise compass or go in and book. They were out on the promenade taking bookings the morning of Formal Night for later that day. 

     

    We were going to the Viking Lounge tonight, currently on hold as having to wait for maintenance to come to our room. If not tonight, tomorrow! 

    Thank you so much.  I really appreciate it and your informative information ❤️ We are so excited for this cruise for so many reasons 

    Navigator next dry dock?

    I am getting married on Navigator of the Seas in April 2019. We chose that ship because of the updates being made to it early 2019. Through booking the wedding, I know for sure the chapel is going away. Maybe that is where the suite lounge will go? Anyway, can't wait to see the ship in April! I've only been on Oasis (awesome) and I would love it if Navigator got some waterslides :p:p:p:)

     

     

     

     

    Congratulations!! What is your wedding date? My son is also getting married on NV in April :)

    What to do in Bonaire.....if anything

    in Bonaire

    Posted

    My son is getting married and one of our ports is Bonaire. I am trying to find a group excursion for 40+ people ranging in ages of 2-70. Would prefer a snorkelling trip but looked at Woodwind pics although highly recommended it does not look safe for toddlers........ any other suggestions?

    Day 8

     

     

     

    Today is day one of our two sea days to get home. I was up early…Grabbed my coffee and got a chair in the solarium. I was the first arrival but was soon joined by a few others. Then the chair hogs came out! By 0730 there wasn’t a chair in the solarium with out a towel or someone in it. But then two pool attendants showed up and folded every towel that wasn’t being sat on by a person. If the towel had clips holding them…They were removed and attached to the folded towel. It didn’t matter if someone was sitting on one and trying to hold any others next to them. The pool attendants were very nice and simply stated that they understood that the persons would be right back but the folding started the 30 minuet timer. I believe that Royal Caribbean needs to do this on all their ships…I even took a picture of one of the attendants.

    It took them over 30 minuets to fold all the towels in the Solarium…Then they picked up arm loads of towels, books and bags of guest who hadn’t returned. They were removed to the towel station. It’s quite funny when more chair hogs would show up…See all the open seats and more towels were put out. In about an hour, the attendants were back and folding towels. Quite a few people came back to find someone sitting in their chair…Asked why there stuff was removed…Some People were just plain nasty. However, almost everyone sitting in a chair thanked the pool attendants. [emoji106]

     

     

     

    We made the 1400 ice dancing show today and it was really good. We got their early to make sure we got a seat but there was plenty of open seats after the show started. I’m always amazed at the things they can do on that little rink. We played our first Bingo…It was the one to win a cruise. We always play to when the cruise…It is possible to win…Our group has won two 7 day cruises before. But we couldn’t win our 3rd this time. Tonight was our second formal night and also lobster night🤪

     

     

     

    Our waiter Doogie takes my order and I order 2 shrimp cocktails and jokingly said 6 lobster tails. Well Doogie brought me 3 and before I could finish one…He bought me the other 3. I guess made a pig out of myself but…Dang they were good. Once again we’re off to the Headliner Show. Tonight it was Travis Ledoye or Mr Elvis 🕺. His singing was good but his mannerisms and people’s interactions was pure Elvis. He worked most of the theater and put on a great show…Of course the ladies loved it when he sang to them.

     

     

     

    We love the Quest Game Show and will always stay up late to see it. But the really good Quest shows are because of the Cruise Director and ours failed to hit the mark. I had a feeling it wouldn’t when our CD announced at the Elvis show that children are welcome to attend the Quest. Most other Quest shows we’ve been to ask that children not attend. The items and tasks the teams were asked to perform by the CD was very tame. After the show Barb and I hit the rack. Got one more day and then it’s back to work…I really need another vacation to rest up from this one[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    What a great review.

     

    My son is getting married on this ship in April 2019. He met his fiancé on same ship. They’re planning to have their ceremony in cosmopolitan lounge where they met - it will be 5 years to the date. If you are up there and want to snap some pics I can show them. It will help her get a visual for planning. So far we have 40 guests booked.

     

    This will be our 15 th cruise but first to these islands. 3 Dr time on Navigator and she’ll be right out of dry dock.

     

    Enjoy your last day.

    Miami Beach hotels

    in Florida Departures

    Hello

     

    Sorry for the lack of details. We have stayed at Holiday Inn POM and the intercontinental and like the Bayside area. We are coming in 2 nights early so thought staying on the beach would be nice so we could wake up and spend day on the beach. We aren’t sure of which area to stay. We arrive late 8:30pm so would like someplace to be able to walk to and grab something to eat that first night. We don’t want to spend $400 a night but want clean hotel - beach front in safe area. Thank you
