	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside UNADVISED SCHEDULE CHANGE by A Traveler from US Sailing date: May 2013 Pros: LOTS OF FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, LOTS OF ACTIVITIES Cons: WERENT CLEAR ABOUT SCHEDULE CHANGE During the 3rd day on board I found out that Royal Caribbean decided not to stop in Athens, but in Mykonos instead. When I went to customer service, they confirm the schedule change and told me it had to do with a possible strike on Athens, and also told me that they placed a letter at the desk at the time of embarkment. Visiting this port was one of the main reasons for me to take this cruise. I think they should advise all passengers of this change BEFORE getting on board, so that you can decide if still want to take the cruise or not. Once you are on board there isnt much you can do DISAPOINTED ABOUT HOW THEY MANAGED THE ISSUE.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Suite Excellent cruise by A Traveler from Grand Rapids, MI Sailing date: Feb 2013 Pros: How pampered we felt for 7 days by the cruise staff and the two awesome excursions we took. Highly recommend the sting ray city excursion! Cons: Got sick on the way home :( Not sure if it was from the cruise or from one of the stops. Would absolutely take another cruise again though. Beautiful ship. The main street area is lovely and there are plenty of spaces for people to go - never felt crowded, and our boat was at full capacity. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Always a wide variety of food available. We traveled with teens and an 11 year old (who is a picky eater) and everyone loved the food. Stateroom Quality We stayed in the family suite - highly recommend it if you are traveling with teens or more than 4 and would need to have two staterooms. With a suite you get a "fast pass" for boarding and disembarking, and other special treatment - worth it! Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Outside of the shows (we only went to 2 because we liked the others options also) A lot of different type of live music available everynight, including salsa, singer songwriter, piano, big band, excellent dj in the dance club too. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Balcony A fantastic first-time cruise! by Derek D. from Memphis, TN Sailing date: Jan 2013 Pros: Lots of activities on the ship, great food, all-inclusive liquor offer. Cons: Not much time allowed at port. RCL's Navigator of the Seas was a great ship! All of the staff - the servers, bartenders, activities staff really made us feel like we were welcome. We had great weather and met great new friends. The only negative we experienced was not with the ship but with the Port of New Orleans experience when we embarked/disembarked. It was HORRIBLE!No one seemed to know what was going on and didn't communicate with the passengers.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Clean ship, good food! by Bob & Sue K from Hickory, NC Sailing date: Feb 2013 Pros: Clean ship, good food, good service Cons: Embarking from New Orleans: signage was non-existant. We wasted time and energy walking around the entire building before finding our way to check in and then had to deal with curt personnel. Compared to a number of other cruise lines, Royal Caribbean ranks higher on food, cleanliness, service and maintenance. Ship Details: Ship Quality Clean and well maintained. Dining/Food The lobster on lobster night was overly seasoned. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Great cabin attendant. Security personnel were gruff. Entertainment & Activities Ice show was good and nice added show. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Discrimination against the Deaf by Toby R from Discovery Bay, California Sailing date: Jan 2013 Pros: The people we met Cons: No American Sign Language Upon booking our cruise I notified the cruise line informing them I was traveling with my soon to be fiance, whom suffered a severe hearing loss. The cruise line assured me there would be effective communication available on board in order for her to enjoy the on-board entertainment and be available for announcements and other vital information. This was not available when we inquired at guest services, further we were told to travel when the ship is chartered by the deaf. I was completely offended and would not recommend this cruise line. Second the ship changed its port of call in Jamaica, which left us without being able to attend our shore excursion, which we still have not been refunded. Last the food was sub par. On numerous evenings the food failed to meet the depth of flavor I am used to experiencing aboard Princess Cruises. For example the Lobster bisque had a slight lobster flavor, but fell flat on the pallet no balance or distinguishable seasoning. On several occasions the " cold milk " did not meet industry standards for proper food handling, this the temperature of the milk was above 42 degrees and remained in the "temperature danger zone" for more than the allotted time, endangering the health of its patrons. Last, my partner was exposed to an airborne stomach virus while on-board even though the ship had sanitize stations located at the dining facilities. She was quarantined for 25 hrs and room service failed to meet the diet recommended by the Dr. on-board, they were uncooperative and at times came across as if they did not want to service the guests; another guest had complained to the nurse about the same while we were waiting to be seen. Save yourself the $ and aggregation and Cruise a different line. Ship Details: Ship Quality Accessibility for everyone with special needs except the deaf. They recommended she use headphones is like giving a quadriplegic crutches and the Blind glasses. Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality The ship crew failed miserably making us feel as though we were imposing on their time by asking questions, not informed and very rude on several occassions. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

The ship was impressive with the amount of activities available on board and our suite along with the perks were worth the expense.

The "adult" solarium still had children in it running around and screaming. They were jumping in the pool and the hot tub, 1 with a leaky diaper on. Seeing the baby with a leaky diaper in the hot tub turned us off from every using the facilities. The "adult" only area was not enforced, so my husband and I spent our holiday surrounded by chios. The dinner staff was wonderful and entertaining. The staff of the ship was delightful, they knew our names and remembered us even with 3400 passengers. There was a lot to do and it was all included in the initial price. Most activities got cancelled, like the scavenger hunts, because not enough people showed. The theme parties we were expecting and packed costumes for never occured (toga party and pirate theme night).
