2 Nights Weekend Getaway Cruise

Great ship for a short, local family vacation!

We booked 2 cabins, one aft balcony cabin and one interior cabin for our daughter and 2 grand kids. We all had a great time even though Catalina got cancelled due to very high Santa Ana winds. The Captain took us way out to sea where it was glass like seas and made for a great day about ship. They have a wonderful kids club and teenager lounge that my grand kids enjoyed. Food was good in the dining room and excellent at Hooked if you like great seafood. All the service was wonderful and the crew was excellent everywhere. We had such a great Royal Caribbean time that we have booked the same cruise again to take our son and grand daughter and his girlfriend in July 25. Very excited to go again! Ensenada is a tourist town and I would suggest you NOT eat or drink there unless it's bottled beer. Then shows were "ok" nothing to rave about, but fun.

Another great Royal Caribbean cruise!

I fell in love with Royal Caribbean on my first cruise and despite some of the shortcomings of this cruise ship, RC still has the best food and entertainment of any cruise line, as well as the friendliest and most helpful crew. What did I love about this cruise? The wait staff singing O Solo Mío. The unbelievably talented ice skaters and ballroom dancers. The fact that I walked 14,000 steps a day without even trying to exercise. The hair salon and the amazing stylist. The jewelry selection. Alma at Next Cruise with her incredible knowledge and expertise. My beautiful and super clean cabin. The view from my balcony. The charming cruise director Chris. What was less than great? The prevalent smell of smoke. The casino was on the 4th deck but even on deck 5 you could smell it. I avoided guest services because the smell was so strong there that I couldn’t stop coughing. The only other negative was the gym. Tiny cramped space. Claustrophobic. Too many people. Nonetheless, I’d probably still go on the Navigator again because the positives WAY outweighed the negatives. Thank you so much Navigatior crew!

Birthday - family getaway cruise

My 2 adult daughters and I went on the 4 night cruise. We had the one bedroom suite and it was perfect for 3 adults. There were plenty of plugs for both their curling irons and other plug ins. The couch made into a double bed and was very comfortable. My oldest daughter has a CPAP and they provided the distilled water and an extension chord. She also has awful food allergies - and the head waiter was awesome in making her meals around the allergies. The menu in the dining room had too many spicy foods for my pallet but I upgraded to a lobster tail twice when there was nothing bland on the menu. Buyer beware! they charge you $16.95 for the lobster BUT add on an 18% service charge as well! The same goes for the up graded steak. They daily had a chicken breast option - but that was very dry and disappointing. They have a vegan meal and an indian meal daily - as I said I wish they would just have one plain meat and potato meal also. The whole ship was really clean and well maintained. The carpets were not worn and in general every area was sparkling. The promenade was a great area with shops and bars that made you feel like you were on a foreign street. The service in all the bars and rooms was excellent. The only pay restaurant we ate at was for lunch at the Chopps grill and all our meals were excellent. We enjoyed the skating program and the broadway show. All the bar entertainment was very entertaining according to personal preferences. I would recommend this cruise - and plan on sailing again in September.
