The main areas of the ship were in good condition but the Windjammer dining room and staterooms need updating. Ice skating shows were very nice. No conditioner or lotion provided, only shampoo. Unable to purchase any sundries on board. Had to wait to purchase item in port. There wasn’t an empty seat in the casino and smoking was permitted in there. This ship did not have the Royal Caribbean standard’s I have become accustomed too. Personally I think the Caribbean is nicer and has prettier beaches. Was disappointed in the Mexican Riviera but that is not a reflection on Royal Caribbean.

Hurricane Norma definitely caused issues. Missed going ashore in Cabo and Puerto Vallarta was cancelled. We stopped in Mazatlan, then headed out to get ahead of Norma. They refunded shore excursions and also gave us some refundable ship board credit. We were impressed with the service compared to another cruise line we’ve tried in the past.

This was a great long enough getaway, yet short enough to be able to get away. There were two nights they didn't have a main show entertainment, which sadden us. Normally at the buffet I can't wait to try everything. This time there was some unique different food that didn't really appeal. The taco stand and ice cream stands were great!

This was my first cruise in 10 years and I was so happy with my decision to go with RC and the Navigator of the Seas. It was a beautiful ship with so many options of things to do. We couldn't get everything in! The service and food were top-notch. The excursions were fun. We can not wait to go back for more!

I have 3 suggestions: One, is to improve the food, have a better seasoning , Caribbean food with quality like ( beans, fried plantains, fried yuca, beans, Cuban food), and the other is to take into account the season in coco cay and at least heat the pool water. We could not bathe either on the beach or in the pool. The pool water was freezing. The food on the island should have better options like ribs and bake potatoes or sweet potatoes. Everything else was very good and exceptional service.

There's several people on staff whose names I have to mention Wilson who cleaned our room twice a day. Geovany and Smi were amazing and went above and beyond from getting to know us to offering coffee and conversation as well as giving us some important information and recommendations. I had my first real facial with Lucia who managed to put me to sleep, it was the most relaxing experience as well as very informative. There's so much to do, it's impossible to get around to everything. From Arcade games to Laser tag, ice skating, shows, water slides and so much more. I look forward to more Sailings with Royal Caribbean. It was worth every penny! Thank you Navigator of the Seas!

Multiple issues prior to getting on ship and issues at port trying to get off the ship. The promenade was tiny and not used properly in my opinion. Shops should be located somewhere else to better use that area. Only one area for late night dining. Food was great but need more options.

During the At-Sea days, I would have liked to see additional activities indoor, such as a nice movie, as the Pool Side large movie screen was compromised by being too windy and noisy and confused by Close-Captioning. That was not compatible with a late evening movie activity and comfort. There were available Indoor lounges, large enough to house one or two separate movies. Their Schooner Bar could have had a Pool Table and perhaps a Table Tennis Table. Just a thought !!!!!!

We made four ports, I would only recommend two of the ports. Bonaire and Haiti was not good for me. I loved Aruba and Curacao was pretty good. I had a bad experience with Chops on the ship. This is a restaurant where you have to pay and it was the worse. I also did not like the solicitors for the Mexican restaurant. I was really disappointed in the activities offered. Was the worse that I had seen. There needs to be a lot of improvement with the activities. Getting off the ship on Sunday morning was awful. Someone need to develop a new system. It is hurry up and wait. You are asked to leave your stateroom room and go stand. If you have a standing problem, or a back problem, it is not good. Also when you have paid your gratuity in advance, Why are the housekeepers leaving you and envelope for tips. I think they should be notified that you have already paid.

We enjoyed the cruise with the exception of the formal dining food. There was nothing special about it. Be aware that the Windjammer serves equal if not better food. While we ran into a fellow cruiser talking about the wonderful steak dinner with asparagus quiche we missed....sorry to tell him....we had that same thing in the Windjammer. We were disappointed to learn that RCC no longer serves afternoon tea at 3pm which included guacamole, tacos etc. The shows on the ship weren't all that great with exception of comedians they brought on board. Many people were walking out on a variety of the shows after about the first 15 minutes. The ship's staff always friendly and helpful. The ship clean which was very impressive considering all the people on board. Ships policy is no reserving/holding seats or loungers; they were held/reserved all the time but we found there were plenty to be hand without issue. The last day was a mess getting off of the ship with no organization. We were to line up in The Sapphire Room which is full of dining chairs/tables (a challenge to wheel luggage around) to get in the "so-called" line up. It turned out that those on first ended up LAST as they took folks off from other end of the line as they ended up closest to the exit door. The line should have started opposite way so those first could be first! This may sound like whining but for those having planes to catch was a tad stressful.

Overall the experience was good. Dining, excursions and on board activites were great.However, the pools are salt water (no splashing) and the music being played had lyrics that I certainly didn't enjoy and didn't want my kids exposed to. I realize many people want a "party" vibe while on their cruise, but I contend there are plenty of songs that convey that vibe without explicit lyrics.

We just returned from a week on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas, stopping in Honduras, Belize and Mexico. The ship itself was beautiful, and the food was good. However, I have to say that I would probably not choose Royal Caribbean again for a family vacation as their staff was not friendly or helpful. They were professional and polite, but not fun. The teen club was disappointing for my teens, as the activities provided did not entice many kids to stay and join in. Overall, nice trip for an older couple that wouldn't require any assistance.

I made arrangements at guest services for all charges that my 12 and 13 year old granddaughters made to be on my account, yet we were turned back as we exited the gangway at the end of the cruise because the gratuity charges for the three of us were entered to my 12 year old granddaughter which made it impossible for us to make our connections by the time we returned to guest services to straighten it out.

<div>We had a good time on our cruise. Actually, we were pleasantly surprised about our cruise experience on RCL. We were a little apprehensive to start having not been on a large cruise ship in a long time. You get very spoiled on Oceania. The experience was good. The accommodations, food, entertainment and service equaled Oceania's in our opinion. The only downfalls were the kids, young adults and crowded venues but as the cruise went on we learned how to avoid them all. I would go on RCL again. </div>
