5 Night Double Dip Navigator

[justme0729]

will I be able to see the navigator ahead of time so I can decide what days to book Palo/ Remy etc?

If not... What is the typical itinerary? What night is fireworks? What night is formal night?

The 5 night double dips are few and far between. There's a couple of Navigators from 2015 here:

Just click on the "Dream" tab and scroll down to the bottom.

You don't see any Navigators for your specific cruise until you check in at the port.

I'd suggest booking Palo/Remy now. If your reservation doesn't work with what the schedule is, you can go to where the dining changes are being handled once onboard (where/when will be noted in the Navigator) and change it. It's easier to change an already existing reservation than make a totally new one, usually.

I can say that a 5 night cruise doesn't have a "formal" night. There may be a "Dress Up Optional" night, however. Fireworks are on Pirate Night.

Your schedule is likely Boarding day - sea day - CC day - Nassau Day - CC day - Debarking day (morning!)

Your second night is likely to be formal ("dress up"). There will be a lot of cruisers who participate in dress up, so if you like that, it would be a good evening to eat in the main dining rooms (MDR).

I might suggest Palo for the first evening. You are most likely to get a good seating time, and it's a great way to start off the cruise. Please stop by the dining room and tell your waiters you won't be there…too many cruisers show up late, and those great folks are worried when you don't show and telling them you're not coming will be a wonderful courtesy. Trust me, they will appreciate it.

And, brunch at Palo if you can snag one on sea day! Get a late time, since you'll be full if you ate there the evening before.

Thank you!! Our itinerary is castaway cay, Nassau, castaway cay, and then sea day. Would formal opt. Night likely be on the second night still?

We can only guess at this point, even with their history, you never know for sure. I haven't seen a dress up night on the last night of a cruise yet, though. But I've never been on a 5 nighter. I also haven't heard of a full formal night on any 5 nighter, if they keep that approach you'll miss the elegant atrium atmosphere with the ships officers all dressed up.
