First,
This is my all time favorite ship. Small in size, BIG on service and
fabulous dining. Having said this, I do not know if this holds true for a 4
day cruise. That is not enough time for the crew to settle down to any
normal routine and I would think all aspects would suffer. Too bad you can
not take it for a 10 day+. RSSC is expensive, but it is worth every penny.
Navigator has one down side; the rear of the ship can be suffer abit from
propeller vibration and hull noise if the seas are rough. Stern has a flat
bottom that the waves sometimes slap hard.
Price.
You are not going to find much of a deal for such a short cruise. RSSC gives
past passenger 5% discount and another 5% for onboard booking for "some"
future cruises. It used to be for any future cruise they have been pulling
back for the last 6 months or so.
