Last minute vacation - need advice on options.Empress, Enchantment or Navigator?

[Ivy drive]

Looking for last minute options for end of THIS month (yes, I am a HORRIBLE planner) In our dates and price range are Empress, Enchantment, and Navigator. Having a hard time deciding

Having done Empress and Navigator in the last 6 weeks, I'd vote for Navigator simply because of more choices.

If the number of nights is equal, then I'd give another vote to Navigator.

thank you so much - can you highlight a bit of each? Obviously The Navigator is much bigger. Both have such mixed reviews some awful and some ok, nothing great.

 

I am 48 and my BF is 53 so we are not traveling with kids this time so the basketball court, mini golf and all those amenities are not important this time.

Navigator, I personally haven't been on Empress, but it is the smallest of all RCI ships. Enchantment is not bad, but pretty run down. Navigator, while not my favorite, I will be doing a 9 nighter on her in March.

I would definitely pick the Navigator over the Empress, although the itinerary may change my opinion. I liked the Empress, it just didn't have many things to do..

The itinerary Navigator is Cozumel and Empress is Key West and Nassau on these two options

Though Key West is nice, I'd much rather go to the Caribbean than the Bahamas.

Hands down, I'd go with Navigator!

Navigator.

Navigator for sure!!! Unanimous opinions:)

We have been on Enchantment and preferred her over Empress. Pool deck was bigger. We have not been on Navigator but have tried Indy and enjoyed the royal promenade, We would like to try Navigator in the future

You will enjoy Mexico a lot more for sure plus the extra day at sea.

We were just on Navigator - I think you will enjoy her!

Sailing first time on Navigator in a few weeks myself. Have sailed two very similar ships, Freedom and Independence. There are many interesting things to do, watch and or participate in . Things you will not find on Empress. Ice shows, flow rider, specialty dining and the promenade atmosphere. Enjoy Cozumel, did a Bar Hop there ,can't wait to go back and do it again (and I'm not a drinker).
