Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog podcast, a week of look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 292.

New water slides, dining venues, a redesigned pool deck, blowdry bar are just a few of the major

changes Royal Caribbean recently completed to Navigator of the seas.

We had a chance to check out the big changes Royal Caribbean made to Navigator, and this week,

we walked through with all of you what stood out about Royal Caribbean's $15 million investment.

Here we go.

Picking a cruise ship to sail on often considers what is available to see, do, and eat on board.

And with Royal Caribbean's Rail Amplified program, Royal Caribbean is significantly stepping up what E-chip offers with some incredible new offerings.

And the latest ship to get amped up is navigator of the seas.

With new water slides, a completely redesigned pool deck, new dining

venues, activities, and more. Rail Crimin is doubling down on what they call bold new options

for guests to try out. And recently, Royal Caribbean invited me to go check out some of these new changes

on Navigator during a crew preparation sailing. And this week, I want to talk all about

what's new and interesting about Navigator of the Seas. And this week, I want to talk all about what's new and interesting

about Navigator of the Seas. And to help me break down the changes to Navigator, I turn to a

friend and partner in wine that I had the chance to sail with on Navigator of the Seas.

It's Gina Kramer editor at cruiscritic.com. Welcome to the show, Gina. Thank you so much for having me,

Matt. Absolutely. And Gina, you and I have a very special opportunity to check out Navigator,

just at the tail end of her refurbishment, seeing some of those final touches being applied there,

Gina. And, you know, there's so much to talk about because I feel like Royal Caribbean has added

a lot to this ship.
