Travelcat2 Posted November 12, 2018 #176 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Very fair assessment of the Navigator (much better than mine would have been). The biggest concern that I hear is "climate control" as this ship will be in the Amazon at the end of the month. This is the hottest, most humid place that we have been to earth so having an air conditioning issue would be a concern for sure. To be fair, we haven't been everyplace on earth but have been to about 100 countries and the Amazon was the most challenging in terms of heat (followed by India but we were on Voyager and no air conditioning issues). As noted, the vibration is not mid-ships but rather in the aft part of the ship. There is also a lot of noise from the anchor if you are too far forward and/or if you are in a suite under the bridge. Interesting description of the casino. We find almost everything (except the suites) on Navigator to be "mini". Thank you for taking the time to do such a wonderful blog!

briar14 Posted November 12, 2018 #177 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thank you for your final review and your fun-to-read blog and pictures. After enjoying all other Regent ships, we will take our first Navigator cruise in July, so I was really interested in your ship comments. I like cool rooms also and am hoping, maybe naively, that the cool (Norway, North Cape) itinerary might help. We are also in Deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Zqueeze1 Posted November 13, 2018 Author #178 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Briar: thanks and enjoy your cruise in July. Hopefully, I can let you know if the temperature improves since we will be back onboard the Nav in June. Z and TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briar14 Posted November 13, 2018 #179 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks, and I’ll remember that we can ask for a fan. Hopefully, it will be cool enough for you and TB and Dave and I, know we all will be having great cruises! Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudhen Posted November 14, 2018 #180 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I must apologize for being REALLY late to this party! For some reason, I didn't know (or remember) that you and TB were on this particular cruise. John and I just finished a SS Spirit TA at the end of Sept and can sympathize with the weather. Ours was terrible too! As Jackie mentioned, we think of our Malaga tapas tour with fond memories and so far, there have been no good meetings of the Margarita and Bloody Mary Society meetings.....sob! We enjoyed reading your adventures and wish we could be a "reunion" cruise somewhere along the line. We've considered doing the British Isles as well.....when and which ship are you guys going on? In the meantime, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas season! Hugs all around, Linda and John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted November 14, 2018 #181 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thanks for the back up report about the Navigator, you pretty much said everything I hoped to hear. Even better she will be going into a refit next year. We now have 3 cruises booked on Regent-and booked the Navigator for another cruise (4 now booked), so your report just sealed the deal. Thanks again for taking the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rumor Posted November 14, 2018 #183 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Sweet Prince, could you stand one more huzzah? It was a delight reliving one of Ginny's and my favorite cruises through this wonderful blog. It just might have been my favorite Roberto effort to date--especially loved your NYC and Citadal posts. My treasured Z Chuckle-Meter--it got another good workout!-- is now back in storage until next June. Hope someday we'll get to share another live blog, which is another way of saying I hope Ginny and I will get to see youse again. Big hug to you and TB.

xrvlcruiser Posted November 15, 2018 #189 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I thought I remembered that there was a D-Day charter from May30 to June 8 http://regent.dday75.org/cruise-itinerary/ After that, there is a short gap June 8-18 before another cruise starts in South Hampton.

Peggy She finishes world cruise mid May and then goes from nyc to Amsterdam to be in position for D Day anniversary charter. So, I guess that 10 days after that could be it.....after I have gotten off...darn. Edited November 15, 2018 by rcandkc Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrvlcruiser Posted November 15, 2018 #194 Share Posted November 15, 2018 rcandkc I checked the Navigator Roll Calls and there is no Roll Call for the D-Day cruise . . . too bad. I'm "here/there" fairly frequently so I'll keep looking. I wonder what happened to the regular poster here who was on that trip . . . or if it has to do with being a Charter.

Peggy They may be on the nyc to Amsterdam room call because they are continuing on to the charter and I forgot. I’ve read something somewhere. I just found it. May 30, 2019 Amsterdam to Southampton.

We also miss the "Margarita and Bloody Mary Society meetings" ....... how do we get everyone back on the same cruise? Hoping that you have sympathy for our weather. The Mariner had 8 sea days due to weather and we will have 9 (so the Voyager beat the Mariner in this category)👹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
