Navigator Veranda Info

For our trip on the Magic in October I was thinking about trying to get a Navigator Veranda Suite. Has anybody had one of these and is it worth the money? Also where they are located is that a noisy part of the ship?

The Navigator Verandas are my favorite. They are in the back of the ship and seem to have a little more vibration than mid-ship, but nothing major. They are past the aft elevators so the outside corridor is more quiet. It is very easy to go up to Topsiders from them or to the drink station on deck 9. You are at the opposite end of the ship from the adult pool and spa, don't know if that is important to you or not.

One word of warning - they only sleep 3 so if you have a family of 4 they won't be available to you.

We had the Navigator Verandah 7624 for out first cruise and have rebooked it for our second. This is a forward cabin and was terrific. We like the fact that we are open to the sea but more protected from wind than a traditional verandah. It also seems safer for our son (4 then and 7 next cruise)

best for the money!

we had the Navigator's Verandah for both our cruises 11/2000 and 5/2003 and just love it. square footage-wise, it is the same size as the regular verandah staterooms, but costs less. the only difference is the design of the verandah. it is mostly enclosed, but still has plenty of room to look out and lean out/over. there's a cushioned bench, table, chair, and nautical decor. additionally, if there is a storm outside, you can still go out on your verandah and not get soaked (unless the wind is blowing in).

the rooms are in the back part of the ship - it wasn't noisy at all. if you are looking at a side view of the ship, it is directly above where the rear gangway is. it's just back slightly from the aft elevators. you're actually a couple decks above Parrot Cay and Animator's (which is where you'd go for your safety drill).

if we go again, Navigator's Verandah - no question about it.

people forget that the ship sails at around 25 m.p.h., so if you have a 15 m.p.h. wind, its like having a 40 m.p.h. wind on deck and on your veranda. the nav. veranda cut down on this over a totally open veranda. you still get the benefits of fresh air, and ocean views without getting blasted by wind as much. they are also safer for kids and offer more privacy (nudge-nudge) for adults.

Not sure what you mean by forward cabin. All the Navigator Verandas are in the aft of the ship.
