2024 Ensenada Mexico on the Navigator of the Seas
Our second port of call on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas is Ensenada Mexico, one of the most popular cruise ports on the west coast. There are a lot of things to do in Ensenada, but we chose a great excursion to do a tour of the wine country. We visit two different vineyards, including a beautiful little family owned winery called La Casa De Dona Lupe where we were given a tasting of four different wines including a sweet honey wine, and we were treated to some delicious home made food including some amazing flat bread pizza. Our second winery was L.A. Cetto, one of the oldest and the largest wine maker in Baja Mexico. There we were treated to a tour of the winery and told all about the history of the winery and wine making in the region. We then got to taste four of their wines including some reserve wines. This was one of the best excursions we have done in Ensenada and was a bargain, especially for booking through the cruise.

    I think like everything else, cruises were better pre-covid. We sailed on the POA on the second to last voyage before the lockdown, and we really enjoyed it. Although, we ate in the specialty restaurants or the one for suites, so that probably had something to do with it. Like everything else in life, your mileage may vary, but nothing is really the same.

      Thanks for your comment. I assume you are talking about the first waitress we had in the Skyline dining room. If that was you I'm sorry you are offended but we are just recounting our individual experience and I'm sure others have had different experiences. As we pointed out, we did have other servers but again, in our opinion, the service overall on the Pride of America was not at the personal level that we have experienced on other cruise lines. For instance, when we said that our son didn't care for his meal; on other cruise lines the staff has been very accommodating and eager to provide something else that he might like better instead of questioning why he ate some of it if he didn't like it. We're curious about Norwegian's training of their server staff and wonder if the freestyle dining experience means that there is less of an emphasis on personal connection and more on efficiency and speed. Can you comment about that?

    afaik the crew would be 100% American. It is required, to be a US Flag ship. The whole crew has to be US citizens who were trained at a US Coast Guard approved facility to be "Merchant Mariners." 🙂 UK doesn't require the crew to be UK subjects, however, they do have to pay all the crew just like they would a UK subject. Same with French (Ponant) and Italian (Costa, Aida) flag. That Disney ship, a lot of them are probably getting paid $400/month, and they may not get appropriate breaks etc. 😲 That's why flag is very important to me 🙂

    I think this ship would be a good way to cruise around Hawaii, and since she is US Flag, you're supporting a lot of jobs for Americans....the whole crew is required to be US citizens, to register the ship in the USA. 🙂 I would want to go when Hawaii is cooler...I went to Pearl a couple times on submarines, and it was always super hot! I don't like it that hot. 🙂 Someday I will go back, and take a cruise on Pride of America, but during cooler months. 🙂 I wish NCL would get another US Flag ship for cruising around Peurto Rico and the US VIrgin Islands. They had three at one point, they should have used one in Alaska, one in Hawaii, one in PR/VI. 🙂

    I’m glad to hear what your experience was as a guest on board. I have recently been hired as a server and my experience has always been in fine dining, banquet style serving as well as silent service, and I will say that it gives me a little bit of anxiety to know that some guest expect you to interact and talk with them as I like to be more speedy and efficient and give that talk to your service rather than having conversations the entire time so now I know I have to turn it up a notch. I have a lot of personality but when I’m at work, I’m very serious and I like everyone to enjoy their food, and go out to eat with me I rather than make sure that everything is correct and top-tier. I guess everyone is different but it really concerns me that so many of the reviews always goes back to the service isn’t excellent because that’s unacceptable to me I hope I can be shining that makes a difference in the crew.

    My husband & I took this cruise in March 2023. Had a great time. If you’ve never been to Hawaii & are overwhelmed, like we were, about which of the islands you want to visit this is the way to go. The ship basically serves as your floating hotel. The cruise is so port intensive that we would back to the ship each afternoon, eat dinner, hang out on the aft deck on deck 11 for a bit and then back to our room to get ready for the next day. The only 2 meals on ship that we were not fbs of was the one night we went to the main dining room & Moderno. Lido was pretty good but the two best meals were at the teppanyaki place. Did the hibachi dinner one night & ate at the restaurant part one night. Is the cruise ship a little dated, yes, but the ship is not why we went to Hawaii. We were there to see the islands.

      Went on it in January 2024. Been to Hawaii many times and actually lived on the BI as well. Booked this cruise last minute because it was cheaper than booking 4 nights in Hawaii. If someone wants the "cruise experience" then yeah this isn't the best ship for that. It's more or less a mixture of a ferry that gives you food. Had breakfast and dinner on the ship and had lunch off the ship. Not much entertainment that interested me at night tbh although I did like the champagne bar and found it relaxing.

    On deck 13 coming down the stairs ( ladies ) hold onto your hats and dresses ..ad the trade winds can 5ème your breath away and leave you feeling a bit “ Marilyn Monroe “…if you get my drift 😮

    And please folks ,if you are planning to cruise with this ship or any other….was h your hands and use the hand sanitizer offered by the staff who greta you kindly….i saw many people pass and refuse and so e even say things like I just showered…..thes staff are just doing their job, trying to keep everyone and the staff safe and healthy…Even if you just showered .you most likely touched your room door handle, then elevator buttons , possibly other peoples handshakes ,railings etc…so please be patient and just wash your hands!

    There was always something to do…but compared with what I’ve heard about other cruise ships..yes not as much new tangled slides and shows etc..but more laid back relaxed…some shops , lots of musical entertainment , some shows, activities, pool time and games , classes , great photos from studio, lots to eat and new friends to make..well done NCL Pride of America ! From a first time cruiser and her dancing son !
