mpoole3 Posted December 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) The update deck plans are showing a new specialty restaurant called "Sabor" (Modern Mexican Flare) on Navigator of the Seas after her drydock. Cost is $25pp. Looking forward for for those reviews from those who are sailing in February. Source comes from my friend Matt and his Blog site.

mpoole3 Posted December 28, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Is the new restaurant on deck 4, where the night club used to be? Yes, inside rooms on bottom floor and the new restaurant on the top floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yes, inside rooms on bottom floor and the new restaurant on the top floor. I held out hope that they would still put a Park Cafe on NV, but it doesn't look that way now. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgoddess1 Posted December 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We're going on 2/16 & 2/23, we will check it out. Sounds interesting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted December 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I would be very curious to now what "modern Mexican cuisine" is. Regardless of what it is, I am happy to see Royal trying out new restaurant concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgoddess1 Posted December 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Would love to see the menu.. No promises, but I will try to photograph it. Sometimes they hand out miniature copies, too, which I will collect. Edited December 28, 2013 by travelgoddess1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do! Menus, Pictures, feedback! I'm sure we all will have a lot of questions. Thanks in advance! :) -Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekim Posted December 28, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 28, 2013 To me it's sad to see a Mexican restaurant on any ship sailing from Galveston. We Texans are very particular about our Mexican food. We all have our favorites which no other restaurant can compare. When sailing I want food I can't/wouldn't get at home. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace1zoe2 Posted December 28, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 28, 2013 $25pp seems extremely high to me for Mexican food. Being from Texas, we have tons of Tex-Mex restaurants and even the nicest ones charge no where near $25 for the most expensive items on the menus. I realize this includes tip but I'm going to have to hear some rave reviews before I'd pay $50/couple for Mexican food.

39august Posted December 28, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 28, 2013 This seems like "coals to Newcastle" to me. A Mexican restaurant on a ship sailing from Texas, huh? I certainly won't pay $25 for "Mexican" food when even here in Oklahoma we have lots of good Tex-Mex places for a lot less money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudaze11 Posted December 28, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Hopefully this will be true Mexican food and not Tex-Mex. As others have stated, I doubt the ship will offer better Tex-Mex than can be found in Texas but to have really good, upscale, and authentic Mexican food could be interesting.

Ladysilver Posted December 28, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'm willing to try it once but like some of you, I don't like the idea of paying an extra $25 for it. I can get great Mexican food around here anytime for a lot less per person. Now if that $25 included margaritas...... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted December 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Wow $25 pp for Mexican food onboard a cruise ship. Being from California we have our Barrios that have Mexican food on every corner since it is cheap and inexpensive to make.:rolleyes: Maybe they want something to replace Rita's on other ships:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roswellcruiser Posted December 28, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Perhaps the menu will be similar to Topolobampo, Rick Bayless' gourmet mexican restaurant in Chicago. That would be worth $25!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estoyer Posted December 28, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Wow! $25 pp cover for up scale Tex Mex you've got to be kidding! Sure hope this information is incorrect! It would be nice to get rid of that bar and have something new in it's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladysilver Posted December 28, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Copied from the article....... Royal Caribbean isn't done adding new things to Navigator of the Seas before she enters drydock next week for her refurbishment. New Navigator of the Seas deck plans show she will get a new specialty restaurant called, "Sabor Modern Mexican". The Mexican restaurant is a departure from Royal Caribbean's previous Mexican specialty restaurant that first debuted on Allure of the Seas, Rita's Cantina. The new restaurant will be located on deck 4, where The Dungeon night club used to be. The new restaurant addition comes with this description about why the cruise line opted to develop a new offering, "Royal Caribbean International is furthering its commitment to total guest satisfaction by introducing a new specialty restaurant on Navigator of the Seas®. Sabor Modern Mexican provides guests an opportunity to enjoy creative yet recognizable modern Mexican cuisine and beverages with polished casual service in a contemporary setting." The cover charge for this new specialty restaurant is expected to be $25 per person. Edited December 28, 2013 by Ladysilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted December 29, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) If it is Gourmet Southwestern Cuisine it might be worth $25. In Fort Lauderdale, Eduardo de san Angel and Canyon would be in that category and they are always busy. Dinner for 2 is over $100. Rita's is so mediocre that it would seem a mistake to try to repeat anything Mexican for an upcharge.
