Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We are new Celebrity cruisers having booked our first Celebrity today. We have cruised Carnival, Royal and Norwegian enough to have pretty high status on all of them. We are looking for a change of pace, so we are going to see what Celebrity and Princess have to offer for our next couple of cruises.
  2. I’ve been on two Navigator three day cruises since the restart. Both were great cruises and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. One of my worries before the first one in December was the party atmosphere, but we saw absolutely none of that. The second was in May just after college graduations and I was worried again, but again no partying. Maybe we got lucky, but based on my experience I would say this is the exception rather than the norm.
  3. On the 3 night cruise formal night was the 2nd night.
  4. The adult only pool area was busy, but there always seemed to be seats available. We were told by our head waiter that there were 2,500 on our 3 days sailing, but only 1,300 on the 4 night preceding ours. We flew in and out of Long Beach so I’m not much help with LAX.
  5. There were several adults in the adult pool including my husband and FIL, but they were still very cold. We did not hear when the heaters will be repaired. The water slides were open all 3 days, My husband used them Friday shortly after boarding with no lines, When we walked back there Saturday the lines were halfway down the tower.
  6. I don’t post too often, but I have obtained lots of useful information from Cruise Critic since the restart so I thought I would post a short synopsis and answer any questions about the Navigator. We were a group of 5 who travelled from Phoenix to sail the 3 day Navigator cruise, My husband and I sailed her in December 2021 but it was the others first time on board. We flew over the afternoon before and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach. We find this to be a great pre-cruise for sailing from along Beach or San Pedro. We left the hotel about 10:15 and arrived at the port around 10:30. We were asked by an attendant our check-in time which was 11:00-11:30. We were directed to the appropriate line and once we entered the line we did not stop moving until we were on the ship which was about 10:45. We ate in the MDR, Playmakers and the Windjammer. We generally thought the food was great throughout the ship. This was our first time being Diamond on Royal we found that we did not miss the drink package. We did not see any shows, but they did not seem to be full shows but rather showcase of the casts. In December there was Showgirls and ISkate, but this time they were advertised as see showcases by our casts. We did the La Bufadora tour in Ensenada. It was a good time seeing the blowhole and doing a little shopping. Debarkation was very smooth. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in the MDR and by the time we were finished at 8:30 our tag number has been called even though it was not estimated until 9:30. One final note - The pool heater still appears to be broken. There were few people in the pool and the hot tubs were packed with children. We had beautiful weather, but not enough to make the pools swimmable. I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the Navigator.
