Creator's Key Takeaways

i've been on a weekend cruise out of the port of los angeles sailing down to ensenada and back to the port of los angeles

the navigator of the seas wins because it's got a few more options including hooked that is there

the pools and hot tubs on the navigator of the seas i also think are better than the freedom of the seas

i would choose the freedom of the seas if they were the same port same itinerary
