Navigator cruise, February, 2014
Last November, we sailed on the Navigator of the Seas, one of the last sailings before a $80 million dry dock refurb. While we were hanging around the Houston area, we noticed the Navigator was back in action… and they had a sale! Since the friends we met on the Barcelona cruise were already booked, we decided that we’d go too. After all, the price was SOOOO low.
So on a Tuesday we booked it for a Saturday departure. Galveston is an easy 2 hour drive, boarding was quick, and the ship looked great. New carpets, furniture, paint etc. made quite a difference. For reasons still unknown (but much appreciated) we were given a Premium Drink package, meaning we could drink pretty well anything we wanted to. Wine with dinner, cocktails at the show, and margaritas in the hot tub were all terrific! In fact, the price of the drink package exceeded the price we paid for the cruise, so we are happy cruisers.
Here are a few pictures. Many more in my Flickr account as well as our photo album.
