If you are searching for a spring getaway next year, look no further! Royal Caribbean is releasing all new 3- to 4-night Caribbean itineraries to mark the new “reimagining” of Navigator of the Seas and all it has to offer on board! The $115 million renovation will include new nightlife and dining venues, the first blow-dry bar at sea, and two new water slides.
“Each Royal Caribbean ship brings a new adventure uniquely designed to deliver on our guests’ preferences from A to Z,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “After launching our Royal Amplified modernization program with Independence of the Seas and then redefining short getaways with Mariner of the Seas, we are challenging ourselves to take it to the next level. Every detail matters, and we’ve mapped out an unmatched combination of innovative features and experiences for this top-to-bottom transformation of Navigator of the Seas.”

New Thrills & Chills!
Royal Caribbean will add to the fun and excitement of the expanded pool area with the longest water coaster at sea, The Blaster, and a head-first mat racer called Riptide. In-water lounges were also added so you can stay cool with your drink in hand from the all-new Lime & Coconut Bar. You can also move up a deck to enjoy the breathtaking ocean views from a hot tub!
New Hotspots!
The Royal Promenade will now feature The Bamboo Room, Playmakers Sports Bar and Arcade, and To Dry For, a blow-dry and beauty bar to get prepped for nightlife after a day in the sun. There will also be a plethora of new restaurants to please any palate, including Hooked Seafood, savory tacos at El Loco Fresh, and pasta galore at Jamie’s Italian.
The first voyage of the refreshed ship will set sail out of Miami as early as February 24 2019, and beginning in May guests will finally be able to visit Royal’s highly awaited private Bahamas island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay. There, guests will be able to enjoy a thrilling new waterpark with 13 slides and relax at the Oasis Lagoon, the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.
