Navigator Royal Family Suite 8694 march 31 ABC Cruise

We just returned from the ABC cruise. It was wonderful. We loved the RFS. Loved our balcony, loved the space!!

Ship wise I would give her an 8 we didn't chose this cruise for the ship but we wanted the ports.

Dinning- We had 21 people in our group. We mostly ate in the main dinning room. If you get Orlando and May you are super lucky. They were amazing. We had my time dinning at 5:30 so we could get the kids done eating by 6:30 and get them to the waiting kids club workers who meet you at the dinning entrance on deck 4. Orlando loved the kids and showed them one magic trick each night. May was so kind when the spills happened. Let's face it 11 kids ages 4-12 all at one table. Someone was going to spill. Heck even at the adult table lol.

Windjammer- never any issues. Typical buffet

Chops- Loved it. For us it was well worth it.

Giovanni's - I liked it but not sure I would do it again. I've had better. Food was good but not wow.

Izumi's- not worth it in my opinion. We love sushi. To many great places on land.

We didn't eat at the Mexican place because like the sushi place too many great places I already eat it at.

Shows- we watched the headliners and the ice dancing both were fun

Pools- yep crowded but manageable. We only save two chairs. One for each adult. I feel no need to save kids chairs. They don't use them. I also could use the Suite only chairs but they are in the direct sun and away from the pools a bit and with small children I felt I should be closer.

Lower pool bar- they weren't fun. In fact down right rude most of the time. I ended up tipping a pool side server to just keep coming around. They were friendly and had fun.

Two Poets bar was good. Only went a few times

Bar outside the casino by the main elevators was amazing.

Kids club- we had kids ages 4-12. All went to kids club. My 12 year old loved the teens club. The 8-10 year olds said kids club was hit and miss. The 4-6 year olds LOVED it. Begged to go. Mr Ice Cream, Mr Viking, Miss Apple are named we heard lots.

Room- we splurged and got in on the royal family Suite when RCCL ran their 1/2 off 2nd, 3rd, etc sale almost 2 years ago. It was cheaper then two connecting balconies so we grabbed it. We loved it. It was our family of 5 and cousins spent the night most nights too. Mr Jeff our room Attendant was great. We had treats left for us each night. He let the kids in the room when they left behind their cards. Always smiling.

Feel free to ask questions

Here are some pictures I can only add 6 so I will add more in another post

I have a few questions we have 8394 next to the cabin you had"

Is there a tv in the smaller bedroom?

My daughter is staying in the master will a 10 year old be able to sleep on the couch or do you think we could take the mattress off one Pullmans and put on the floor of master we will ask for a roll away but not sure we'll get it. I know there is a pull out couch in the living room but having a kid in there sleeping put a wrench in getting up before them

also can deck 10 and 9 see down onto deck 8 deck?
