Creator's Key Takeaways

I had sailed previously on the Oasis class ships with Royal Caribbean, but thought I'd give one of their smaller ships a try.

So, it's really a nice view and generally it's not a super crowded bar.

So, that's a bit unfortunate, but uh really cool.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the wraparound promenade for a quiet stroll or to watch the sunset.
Visit the Cosmopolitan Club for a quieter bar experience with a nice view.

Ship size and crowd levelsThe ship is smaller and less overwhelming than Oasis class, but some areas can get crowded; plan for elevator waits and dining room navigation.
Ship upkeep and wearExpect some wear and tear due to age, but the ship is still in better shape than newer ships like Harmony of the Seas.

YouTube Video Description

This video takes a look at the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas. It looks at ship design and its current condition. This video is not a cruise review of all aspects of the cruise. This is simply about the ship itself as it exists in 2026. How does it compare to Royal's bigger ships like Icon of the Seas or Harmony of the Seas. If you have tried Royal's newer and bigger offerings and want to know about potentially sailing this Voyager class ship, then give it a look. #royalcaribbean #cruiselife #navigatoroftheseas Timeline: 00:00 Introduction 01:07 - Hit- Cosmopolitan Club 02:12- Hit - Wrap around promenade 04:07 - Hit- Solarium 05:12- Hit- Sports Court 06:03- Hit- Ship Size 07:58- Miss- A few venues too small or crowded 10:26- Miss- Ship upkeep The Whent There Cruising Channel is dedicated to cruising content.
