NAVIGATING ANEW
Thanks to the launch of its $1-billion-plus Royal Amplified
revitalization program, Royal Caribbean has re-introduced
the cruising public to modernized fan favorites. Following

to receive the ultimate facelift is
Navigator of the Seas
. The
$115-million revamp includes a bevy of new features that

Two waterslides — The Blaster and Riptide — that
take guests from the top deck of the ship, out and over
the ocean below at top speeds.

live entertainment, a children’s splash zone, and a
multitiered bar.
n
A host of new restaurants, shopping, and nightlife
options on the Royal Promenade.

offering blowouts, nail polish changes, hairstyling, and wine.
n
Family hits, like glow-in-the-dark laser tag, minigolf,
youth and teen clubs, and the Royal Escape Room: The
Observatorium, which challenges participants to beat
the clock and solve mind-raking puzzles.
