Thank you for that write up.
I just sold my house so i have a bit of money in the bank to spend.
Back in early 2003 i went on the second voyage of the Navigator of the Seas.
The ship was brand spankin new and it still had that new car smell lol.
I was SERIOUSLY impressed with that ship and it just blows my mind how much more awesome the new ones are.
I see your point with the Viking Lounge, i was wondering why it seemed so low, almost a waste now.
I had no idea about that bridge.
That Navigator trip was great though, I caught my GF at the time cheating on me a week before the trip so i ended up going alone, had the balconey room to myself. I was misereable when i boarded but that misery lasted less then an hour lol.
I had the time of my life!
I think maybe i’ll go check out the RCI site now....
