Loon:

I understand you concern. We were on a ship of another line in Sept. '99 Boston to Canada, and were caught in Hurricane Floyd all the way. But first, hurricanes are not common as far north as Bermuda. Second, if a hurricane were projected in the path of your cruise, Radisson would have the sense to cancell or re-route (which the other line didn't, and now we sail Radisson!) And third, the Navigator is a cruise ship built on a military hull, which means she can take it!

While the Navigator has a problem with vibrations (mainly in calm seas) low and to the stern (as in the show lounge), she rides the waves with little roll from side to side and little pitch from bow to stern, in my opinion. And it is very unlikely that you will have any vibration problems in your suite at all. And if you can feel any vibration there, it will be very minor.

I hope you will stop being concerned about seasickness and hurricanes, and will simply look forward to your cruise. When it is over, we will all look at these concerns and laugh! My wife and I have been on about 12 cruises, 7 of them Radisson. If we were to chose a ship to cruise into "rough water", it would be the Navigator. That is because the Navigator hull was originally built as a Russian military ship hull, that was purchased by Radisson after the colapse of the Soviet Union. So when I say that the Navigator is "built like a Russian Tank" (meaning, very strong) HER HISTORY PROVES IT!

If this is your first Radisson cruise, you should instead be looking forward to service, food, and drink beyond you imagination. We have cruised on the Navigator twice, and believe she is the perfect size and guest capacity for a cruise ship. In other words, the "Rolls Royce" of cruise ships. As you await you cruise, please think of these things, and not the remote possibility of seasickness or hurricanes. They won't happen, but a great cruise will!

Enjoy,
Richard :) :) :)
