It looks good for its age, I like the large hot tub right in the spa area and the free steam room. I like the solarium of this class and the freedom class the best of all the RC ships.

I'm seriously looking into booking with Navi! I'm currently in my research phases, but this thread hasn't been used since her upgrades! Does anyone have anything new to add about the Navigator of the Seas post dry dock?

Hi Malmo,

Thank you! :D

I look forward to reading your review!

Enjoyed the new restaurant Izumi. Great views from the converted card/game room up in Viking Crown.

The new restaurant, Sabor, is excellent. It's modern Mexican with guacamole made fresh right at your table.

I've seen most of the specialty restaurants menus, but I haven't seen sabor. Do you know where I can find it?

Here is a link to a "sample menu" from Royal Caribbean's website.

We have been on Navi twice since the upgrades and are on her again in 45 days! Izumi is great for lunch...prices are a la carte during that time. Loved watching the FlowRider...but not enough nerve to try it! We love this ship and we will be sad to see her leave Galveston.

Ship was in great condition, staff were excellent and the experience IMO was up there with the best.

Would sail NOTS at any opportunity.

Giovanni's was excellent.

Happy Days!

We'll be cruising on her for the third time in december! I love everything about the ship except for one thing. I miss the Viking Crown Lounge! :)

I've heard you have to make reservations for shows. Is that true or only on bigger ships?

She leaves Galveston in November 2015 to be replaced by Liberty of the Seas.

Not on Navigator. For sure on Oasis and Allure.

Why will you miss the Viking Crown Lounge? It's still there. The area that was the 19th Hole is now the Diamond Club. The Card room is now Izumi.

I like the way it was BEFORE drydock.

No reservations for shows but once onboard you will need to pick up tickets for one of the "Ice Dancing Shows". I believe the 1st scheduled time for ticket distribution is on Embarkation Day from 1pm-3pm on the Promenade.

I think Navigator has the best Flowrider of the fleet. The water-return grates at the top and bottom have a softer padding on them so it doesn't hurt as much when you wipe out. The older Flowriders have harder rubber. Plus, they crank up the heated water on those cold days leaving Galveston.

Navigator to me was a smaller version of Freedom Class. The only thing I didn't like was Port of Galveston. It took so long to board and unboard. I am not sure if they will be able to handle the Liberty unless they make some changes.

Changes are in the works to be completeed before Liberty comes. Making the channel deeper & a new, larger terminal.... $10M upgrade!

Must eat is Sabor! In my opinion the best specialty restaurant in the fleet. Well worth the $25 pp charge. And this from the person who didn't go there in March because I thought it was crazy to put a Mexican restaurant on a ship sailing from Galveston. In June I decided to try it and in August I was baaack! I will be there again in March and August next year.
