I could not NOT agree any more. MONEY. GRAB. Its one thing to go for one day... but 2? One of 2 things is happening... 1. There are a lot less people shelling out their (RCCL) ridiculous fees for their water park and $500 cabanas than they thought would... and by going again they have a better chance of generating that revenue. 2. By being at the island 2 days instead of 1 they can have less activities on the ship... Also saving $$$... I already miss Great Little Stirrup Cay! We picked this cruise because it was balanced and had at least one sea day. We really love Sea days and those specialty lunches while at sea. Now there won't be an't when on Coco Cay... Instead we have 2 days at Coco Cay on a sold out ship at the same time as the Mariner of the Seas on both days. So at least 2 full ships will be there at the same time. Wonder if any other ships will be there then... I bet those at the water park will be mad as hell when they have to wait 1 to 2 hours to ride on their 14 story slide... and it gets darn hot out There! And if you don't go early it may not be east to find good seats. THE BIGGEST INSULT IS THIS COMPANY LINE... we made this move for your cruise because of Dorian and having to make changes... what a load... they sent letters to us BEFORE Dorian even happened and our ship was not going to Grand Bahamas to begin with... I'm very disappointed with RC to say the least... I WANT MY SEA DAY BACK DANG IT

Thanks. Since there are 2 days at Coco Cay...no specialty linches on those days... and sushi (my friend hates sushi) on Nassau day. That leaves embarkation day if they stick to that. Jaime's would be fine. Wish we knew so we could make reservations...

And there lies the problem... no one knows so it's impossible to know if when you pre-purchase specialty lunches IF any will be available on a cruise with no Sea days. Plus if we knew for sure that there would be lunches available we would probably get the unlimited dining package... because one night for sure we would be eating in the main dining room... It's frustrating to me to get a "WE DO NOT KNOW" from Royal Caribbean. They have same answer to our travel agent... They said if we prepurchased a lunch they'd give us Inc if it wasn't available... ugh.

Yes tanks for sharing your family's experiences. Great info. I've only been on one other RCC... Brilliance of the Seas. We really liked it. Wanted to do a 5 or 7 day trip this time but could not make that work, so we settled on the NAV of the Seas. We are looking forward to our trip, however they changed our itinerary to have 2 days at Coco cay and one at Nassau. No sea day... which is fine except we were looking forward to having a speciality restaurant luncheon... but with no sea day, I don't think they are offering that option. It's a bit unclear and have received a could of contradictions on the topic. Did you notice by chance? Again thanks for sharing!

Hoski... I agree. Embrace your own style and don't worry what others think... it's your vacation. Enjoy it the way you want!

I emailed RC Dining to ask about the specialty restaurants lunches with no days at seas and whoever answered said there were no specialty restaurants except the Chefs Table on the Navigator of the seas... SAY WHAT? I know this is not true. It's really irritating that no one seems at RCCL to know about specialty lunch availability on the NAV now that they have no sea days...

What is the Tutti Bar?

If given only the choice of forward or aft, I would likely choose aft. We had an aft balcony and loved it. I won't lie, there is definitely more motion than mid-ship...

Hello, we are going on a cruise on the Navigator of the Seas in early October. Our 4 day cruise is now going to CoCo Cay 2 days instead of one day and will be at Nassau on one day/evening. This begs the question will there be any lunches available at the specialty restaurants? I ask this because we were at the very least planning on having lunch at Jaime's and the Hooked Seafood Restaurants while on our cruise...but NOW the only "Sea Day" and that is the first day. I am not sure they even offer a lunch in specialty dining... as they use to have Chops for first lunch and now it is moved to the Main Dining Room... what? WHY? Additionally, we were also thinking of getting the all inclusive dining package if we could eat in the for pay restaurants at lunch time, as there is one night we want to eat in the Dining room.. the night they have prime rib, as it is my bestie's absolute favorite and is only offered one night. We figured we would recoup if we could eat at Jamie's., Hooked or the Steak house for lunch at least one day, or eat at Johnny Rocket's a couple of times. And another complication is that usually there is prime rib on the first night, and that is when they want you to have a reservation up front for specialty dining. We would likely skip specialty dining the first night and wanted to add a lunch or 2 instead on the unlimited dining package. Has anyone had a similar situation or circumstance? And I know that the Perfect Day at CoCo Cay 2 day visits is new...but will that eliminate the ability to eat in a specialty restaurant on a day where we are at Nassau or CoCo Cay? Thanks!
