Navigator of the Seas: Is This 7-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise Worth It? | Royal Caribbean

🚢 Is Navigator of the Seas still worth sailing? We just spent 7 nights aboard Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas on an incredible Mexican Riviera cruise from Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta — and we’re sharing what we loved, what surprised us, and whether we’d book this cruise again! Thanks @RoyalCaribbean for the experience! Navigator may be one of Royal Caribbean’s older ships, but we think that’s actually part of its charm. We loved its manageable size, familiar layout, outdoor promenade deck, incredible views from the helipad, and some of the BEST crew and service we’ve experienced at sea. 🎰 The casino was a huge part of our week, even though this wasn’t a winning trip! Our casino host Ali was fantastic, and our servers Roxeen and Rose took amazing care of us. We also put our favorite $2 bill tipping strategy to the test — and let’s just say the casino servers definitely remembered us! 😂 🍽️ We traveled with a group of nine, and dinner in the Main Dining Room became one of our favorite parts of every day. Gilbert and Monika made the experience special, encouraging us to try new dishes and making our big group feel right at home. 🌴 And then there’s the itinerary! 🇲🇽 Cabo San Lucas — We booked an affordable boat excursion to the famous Cabo Arch and got some incredible views from the water. 🇲🇽 Mazatlán — Instead of booking a traditional excursion, we hired a taxi and explored on our own, visiting the local market, cathedral, bakery, Zona Dorada, and one of our favorite places to eat. 🇲🇽 Puerto Vallarta — Still one of our favorite Mexican cruise ports! We headed to the lively and LGBT-friendly Romantic Zone for food, shopping, ice cream, and exploring — although summertime in Puerto Vallarta was HOT! ☀️ We also stayed in a Junior Suite booked through a Club Royale casino offer, enjoyed some beautiful sailaways and sunsets, met some great new friends, and reached an exciting Royal Caribbean milestone: Diamond status in the Crown & Anchor Society! 💎 In this video, we're NOT taking you deck-by-deck through Navigator. Instead, we're sharing what it actually feels like to spend a week aboard this Voyager-class ship and why we think an older, smaller Royal Caribbean ship can still deliver an incredible vacation. 👇 QUESTION FOR YOU:Would you rather sail an older Royal Caribbean ship for a great itinerary and price, or spend more to experience one of the newest mega-ships?
