My family and I have just got off Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas from a short 4 night cruise out of Los Angeles CA and now its cruise review time! If you enjoyed this video, please make sure to give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing if you like cruising tips tricks, reviews and fun videos: https://bit.ly/37B8v1i Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:42 Why Navigator for Spring Break Cruise 1:45 Airport Transfer problems. 4:46 At San Pedro Port and Boarding 5:53 Our Junior Suites 7:03 Dining Review 16:35 Entertainment Review 20:02 Ship Review 23:00 Final Scorecard Royal recently home ported Navigator of the Seas in Los Angeles after a 20 year absence from home porting on the west coast. In this video we talk about everything you will want to know about Navigator and how she cruises. We look at all the specialty dining and entertainment Navigator has to offer. We talk a little about our room and our overall impressions of this new ship on the CA coast making familiar Mexico trips that the people on the west coast of the US know and love. We also talk a little about an embarkation day SNAFU so that you can hopefully avoid the pain we had to endure. We flew into LA on embarkation day and we talk about my rules for flying on cruise day. I usually try to avoid this, but if I can fit into the tight requirement I outline in this video, I will take the risk. All video (with the exception of the aerials) and photos were taking from my iPhone 12 and used the DJI OM5 gimbal. Aerial Drone shots are courtesy of Royal Caribbean Press Center. We will be creating 2-3 videos a week reviewing cruise venues, ships, and itineraries. I will be also posting YouTube Shorts of cruise deals I find so you can jump on the deal if your travel time is flexible. Finally we will be posting a bunch of cruising tips and how to add value to your cruise vacation, so please subscribe so you can be notified when these videos become available.
