Shopinpat: Welcome to LCT! I was just on the Navigator in June (with Ngaire Keene from this board) for 14 days Iceland/Norway. I had previously cruised her in her maiden year in Alaska, I think it was 2000 and the next year for the Baltics. After having gone on all the other ships since then, I can report that I was VERY happy and she is ship-shape~ I love the Navigator cabins, they are just like the Voyager. For the Mariner, they made the mistake somehow in the bathrooms not including a separate shower/tub, and the cabins are a tiny bit smaller (you wouldn't even notice had you not been on the others). I don't mind it at all and sail the mariner without regard to this, but it matters to some. I like the Navigator's intimacy, but yet there are all the perks of the larger ships. I can almost promise you will not be dissapointed!
