Canadian Treasures, 14th October 2012

My wife and I joined the Navigator in Fort Lauderdale for a cruise to Grand Cayman, Columbia, the Panama Canal Mexico and on finishing in San Francisco. The duration was 17 days ending on the 12th of May 2011. The Navigator is relatively small as cruise ships go with over 300 crew tending to the needs of approx 420 passengers, Due to this you quickly get to know fellow passengers and the crew, the crew know your wishes almost before you ask and fall over backwards to assist. The Suites are large and well fitted very much in keeping with Regents 5 star image. The bathroom is excellent as is the walk in wardrobe. The food is everything you could want and much, much more nothing is too much trouble. The main restaurant "Compass Rose" is excellent as is the speciality restaurant "Prime 7" The only small criticism would be the entertainment which really is geared for the American audience however there was a good mix with something for everyone. Although some of the impressionists and comedians could be problematic for Europeans. The ship can be a little noisy especially towards the stern in certain seas probably because of its size and its original build so take a cabin towards the middle or bows. Overall a great cruise nice passengers, good crew pleasing surroundings great itinerary and excursions
