The 139,570-ton, 3,114-passenger cruise ship Navigator of the Seas, like her sister ships, sports some of cruise industry's most wonderful facilities: a rock-climbing wall, ice-skating rink, mall-like indoor promenade, basketball court and in-line skating track.
As a second generation (modified) Voyager-class ship, Navigator has a larger Windjammer buffet area with the Asian "Jade" and "The Paza" bar. The first generation Voyager-class ships metal-walled balconies are here replaced with glass railings. Navigator OTS features more glass exteriors, wine bar, expanded youth amenities, Plaza Bar zone (with dining venues / both complimentary and at fee), first at sea Latin Jazz Bar, first at sea Ben and Jerry's ice-cream parlor. Later, RCI spread these concepts fleetwide.
Navigator of the Seas itinerary program is based on 7-day Western Caribbean cruises from Galveston TX, and to Western and Eastern Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale FL. Feature port destinations include Cozumel Mexico, Jamaica, Belize, Puerto Rico, Grand Cayman and Labadee (Royal Caribbean's Haiti private island resort).
Navigator Of The Seas has a total of 1636 cabins (of which 115 Suites, 638 Balcony rooms) in 30 grades. Most Navigator of the Seas staterooms are 150-sq.foot insides (499). Almost 50% of ship's accommodations have private balcony views. 27 are the wheelchair accessible rooms. Navigator also features 81 Virtual Balcony rooms. The largest aboard Navigator of the Seas are the Royal Suites (1335 ft2 - more than 120 m2!).
Eating options aboard Navigator of the Seas were expanded during ship's 2014 refurbishment. The line added Sabor - a Mexican restaurant, and Izumi Japanese Cuisine - Asian-fusion eatery. The Italian Portofino was replaced with a new family-style option called Giovanni's Table. Longtime Royal Caribbean's steakhouse Chops Grille features a revamped menu including premium steak options. The 3-level main dining room was consolidated under one name, the Sapphire and redesigned - now decorated in golds and whites, with a grand staircase, dark carpeting, white linens, and a dramatic chandelier. Reservations are recommended for the specialty restaurants. Guests can make reservations online (up to 4 days prior to cruise) for parties of up to 6, or once onboard at reservation tables outside the Windjammer buffet, by calling guest services or at the restaurants themselves.

At night, Navigator of the Seas offers traditional-style productions (singing and dancing shows) presented in The Royal Theatre. Bar venues offer various musical performances aimed to please everybody at any time with classical guitar, jazz and country. Beyond the usual, where this cruise vessel excels is the unique, like Studio B ice rink which hosts "Ice Dancing" - worth the effort to get a ticket (free of charge but the venue is tiny, so tickets are limited). The Royal Promenade on some nights comes alive with street entertainment. New to the ship after the refurbishment is the signature R Bar, which replaced the Champagne Bar located on Deck 5, outside the Promenade. This is a very popular gathering spot for pre- and post-dinner exotic cocktails, mixed by using various techniques.
Kids enjoy line’s new take on Adventure Ocean youth program in the newly designed free play space. With trained staff and Royal Caribbean’s award-winning programming, the contemporary concept offers activities organized by interests. The teen areas sport updates via the redesigned teen-only laidback hangout, Living Room, as well as a “hidden” entrance and outdoor deck serving up nothing but chill vibes.
Additional amenities include: Complimentary 24-hour Room-Service, Supervised Youth program, Internet/WiFi Access, Laundry.
