Has anyone sailed on the Navigator of the Seas? Is she a nice ship? I've been on a couple other Royal Caribbean Ships and they were beautiful. Thanks.

Did Voyager of the Seas (sister ship) - loved it! Want to do it (or another similar ship) again.
I believe it was "Navigator" that we cruised on in '95. Great ship. We've cruised NCL lately - rather than RCL - as we enjoy the "Freestyle" dining offered by NCL...
The current Navigator launched in 2002.
My wife and I took a seven day boat ride of the Western Carribean on the then-new Navigator of the Seas in '03. It was an awesome ship, unbelievably huge.
It was our first cruise, and I was a little shocked when I jumped into the pool and tasted salt.
I have found out something cool. You can go up to the deck above the bridge and look down, through glass panels, into the bridge as the Captain and crew navigate/steer the ship.

We've sailed with RCI number of times on majority of their class. Comparing Voyager class (Navigator is voyager class)to Freedom class (Freedom, Liberty of the seas) we liked Voyager class better. While sailing on Mariner of the seas I think it was a very good combination of all features and things that were offered to the number of passengers on board. While cruising on Liberty of the seas (at that time the largest in the world, b/c she was 2" longer her sisterships) we felt that 15% larger capacity added mostly to fit more people, while dining rooms and breakfast rooms felt over crowded. If this is your first cruise, take your time to understand what you're looking to get out of the trip. There're tons of different options, so choose your itinerary wisely. The fact what itenerary you choose will also result in the type of people you'll be cruising with. For example, 10 days day-at-sea/day-at-port will attract older crowd, while 7 days with 5 ports will attract yanger crowds. This is what we've observed ourselves and got the same opinion from Cruise Ambassador. Also, new things like surfing pools take away some room for what was used for other activities. If you have kids, be also carefull as to what each ship has to offer. Some have more room for teens and some geared more to younger kids.
I did the bridge tour and saw through that glass floor, very impressive.
Good luck,
Alex.
