Navigator of the Seas - Dec. 20 to 24 - report card

[South Palm Cruiser]

Some thoughts on the Navigator of the Seas - Dec. 20 to 24 - report card style:

 

Entry to Port Everglades - "D" - LOTS of traffic - not RCI's fault - 10 ships in port that Saturday !!!!

 

Embarcation - "A" - fastest we've ever gotten on board !!!

 

Stateroom - "B-" we (family of 4) had the connecting D1 and interior - aft end of deck 9 - not much elbow room - no sofa due to position of connecting door, which is a single door, so it is either open or closed - not one door on each side to close for some temporary privacy - a little wear and tear -housekeeping could have been better.

 

Water quality - "A" - no yellow water, as some have noted - no yellow towels either.

 

Water pressure - "A" in shower, "D" in sink

 

Common areas - "A" - outstanding condition for a 6 year old ship. Only felt crowded in the Windjammer.

 

Holiday decorations -"D" - I expected better due to past experience

 

Bingo - "A" - they have these awesome hand-held electronic devices - only way to go - also sell traditional cards.

 

Food :

Winjammer - "A" - for what it is (cafeteria buffet), it was as good as you'll get

 

Portofinos - "F" - they should have paid us to eat there - too bad, it was great on Freedom of the Seas, which is why we booked it again.

 

MDR - breakfast - "B" - adequate, but bland.

 

MDR -dinner - N/A - as C&A Diamond, our confirmation was for a table for 4 - they put us at a table for 8 - would not move us - ate dinner at the buffet.

 

Chankannab Park in Cozumel - "A" - beautiful !!

 

Disembarcation - "A" - fastest ever, as was getting on.

 

All in all, great 4 day getaway.
