We have just learned that for $150 per person we can upgrade to a Navigator A or B, and for $300, to a Navigator Suite.
I would like to do the Navigator Suite, but am worried about vibration and motion sickness. I am currently in 731.
Any ideas? The offer is first come first serve
Thanks
Diane

Aren't the Navigator suites midship? When looking at the deck plans, it appears that they are right above cabin 731 but up two decks?

Sorry about that, Diane!! I have never been on the Navigator before so I was waiting for someone else to respond but it looked to me that the Navigator suites were midship. I would assume they would be ok but I don't know where the Navigator vibration is. I didn't even know that the Navigator vibrated at all!

well, compared to my only other cruising, a three day Greece cruise in a room the size of a postage stamp, a regular Navigator room is still delightful.

If it makes you feel any better, two decks up might be significant when it comes to motion sickness. So, you might be better off where you are!

Sorry, Diane - if I had seen this earlier, I would have told you to jump all over that upgrade to the Navigator Suite. I would have KILLED for an upgrade like this. Vibration is not bad at all midship - the ship does shudder a bit in the back. Motion sickness might be a concern but don't think a major one. :(
I'm assuming that you have a balcony cabin? You'll still love it - had a grand time in one on our Navigator cruise!

Agree with Masaki, had I seen this earlier I would have told you to jump all over the Navigator suite - they are pretty midship and are really nice. We were on deck 9 in Canada/New England a couple of years ago and found it a great location. I peeked in the Navigator suites on disembarkation day and really loved them.
I'm sure you will enjoy your cabin though, as the "standard" cabins are quite roomy and nice and we had no complaints.

Thanks all. I have stopped kicking myself for my stupidity and am now back at my original feeling--I am lucky to be on the Navigator at all, and plan to enjoy every inch of my luxurious standard room and every second of my cruise.
BUT--next time, there will be no wavering!

The only time we've received an upgrade was when we had a "Category Gurantee" on 007 cruise last October. (booked late and just wanted the cheapest category available).

In my case, I think they had available rooms 30 days from the sailing date and started making calls, from the earliest bookings on.

Last summer on our Baltic cruise, there were about 650 passengers on the Voyager. Of our three suites, two got upgraded to the Penthouse B suites. It was a nice treat. Must have been due to empty cabins available.
