Travelcat2 Posted August 29, 2015 #26 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Urban legend says that the Voyager hit a large rock shortly after being built that caused the aft vibration (not fixable). The vibration is dependent upon the speed of the ship and the seas. We have sailed in an aft Seven Seas suite and felt the vibration quite strongly in the bathroom but not as much in the bedroom. The noise is different depending upon which deck you are on. A couple on a very long itinerary felt like they were sitting on the engine (lower deck) but got used to it. We have not stayed in an aft suite on the Navigator but felt enough vibration in the theater and in La Veranda to know that it would be an issue for us. The Mariner basically has minimal aft vibration. Although the Voyager is our favorite ship, itineraries in the past year or so have had us on the Mariner (also our next 3 cruises). We stayed in an aft Seven Seas suite in April, 2015. I absolutely loved the suite (deck 7) but my DH heard a noise/vibration/??? at a certain speed that drove him crazy. However, kennicott, we find the Mariner to have less vibration than Regent's other two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliana Posted September 26, 2015 #27 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Let's get back to the original thread subject of the dry dock of the Navigator. When will it be and what's being done? Edited September 26, 2015 by eliana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2c00k Posted September 27, 2015 #28 Share Posted September 27, 2015 From what I can tell from the cruises scheduled for the Navigator: February 29 Navigator docks in Miami and does not go out again until March 10th Also - March 31 Navigator docks in Barcelona and does not go out again until April 13th I may have missed something but figure it will happen one of those times. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbhgoldenmom13 Posted October 6, 2015 #30 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My husband and I are planning a cruise in June, 2016 on the Regent Navigator ship. We are going to book cabins on Deck eight close to the stern To be exact cabins 860 and 861. We are concerned that there will be too much engine noise.... Any comments?

eliana Posted October 16, 2015 #31 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Regent have confirmed on their website that Navigator will be in dry dock from 31 March 2016 for a couple of weeks for a major refurbishment. I have two questions. 1. Is it getting rather tatty, in which case I might not book a cruise on the Navigator before then. 2. Does anyone know what will be re-furbished.
