Creator's Key Takeaways

I thought the Navigator of the Seas was so wellmaintained. It was beautiful. It looked modern. It felt vibrant and happy.

If you've never stargazed from a helicopter pad in the middle of the night on the front of a ship, this is definitely something that you must find time to do.

I just want to reiterate, you make what you want of these itineraries. When I was in Catalina Island, it had everything I wanted.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Star Lounge on deck 5 to access the helipad if you have accessibility issues to avoid long stairs.
If you want to avoid the heat in summer, the Los Angeles departure area is a good option.
