We had a wonderful time on the newly refurbished Navigator. We chose this cruise because we had always wanted to see the ABC islands and this was a nice 9 day out of Miami, saving us airfare to Puerto Rico. We had sailed on Navigator before and were excited to see her after this impressive refit. We booked a balcony and travelled with my sister's family who has kids the same age as ours (10 and 12). We had adjoining rooms and were able to open the balcony door to share the space.
As with anything there were some hits and some misses that I will summarize:
Hits
A bit cramped with the sofa bed out. Our room steward never put it away during the day. The glass door to the balcony had a wind leak that maintenance never got fixed.
First time with a balcony and I think we will go back to our favorite Panoramic Ocean View next time.
Nice beach day, but everything now costs extra. All of our kids broke out with rashes after this day. I think it was something in the sand. Thank the Good Lord for Benadryl !!!
Boarding was delayed unti 12:30 due to issues getting equipment off from the previous chartered cruise. A LONG line of people stacked up, but we were all on by 2:00.
