Chasing thrills on a budget? No problem. You’ll find lots of great free things to do onboard this ship, too — like white-knuckle rides down epic waterslides, spectacular entertainment, and complimentary dining that packs bold flavor into every bite — all included in your cruise fare. To help you get ready for your fun-filled adventure onboard, we’ve rounded up ten of the top things to do on the Amplified Navigator of the Seas.
1. Conquer The Longest Waterslide At Sea
If you’re looking for record-setting onboard attractions, this is your ship. The Amplified Navigator of the Seas is the first ship in the fleet to debut The Blaster aqua coaster — and this one is the longest waterslide at sea. Take the plunge and get ready for a wild ride as five waterjet blasters propel you along a twisting, turning adventure filled with hair-raising drops, thrilling dips, and the longest stretch of slide ever suspended over water. Conquer it solo or buddy up and ride with a friend.
2. Get Swept Away On Another One-of-a-kind Ride
If you’re still craving more thrills after your ride along The Blaster, get in line for its sister slide, Riptide. The only headfirst mat racer waterslide at sea, this exhilarating experience thrusts you along a translucent bend that curves right over the side of the ship. You’re going to want to keep your eyes open for the captivating views you’ll score as you race along this next-level Amplified attraction.
3. Suit Up For An Action-Packed Glow-in-the-dark Laser Tag Battle
Royal Caribbean was the first cruise line to introduce glow-in-the-dark laser tag on its fleet — and Navigator of the Seas is one of the best ships to experience it firsthand. If you’re bold enough to sign up for this adrenaline-amping experience, you’ll be assigned to a team — either robots or aliens. Then you’ll get to suit up and take on the opposition in a battle to claim the last planet for light years around. Whether you’re playing solo, with your besties, or with your little ones, Laser Tag: Battle for Planet Z is one of the top free things to do onboard.
4. Get Your Brain In The Game In Royal Escape Room: The Observatorium
Puzzle-lovers won’t want to miss the Escape Room challenge onboard Navigator of the Seas. Once inside the Observatorium, you and your teammates will have just one hour to solve a range of puzzles, teasers, and problems with hidden clues using logic, collaboration and quick thinking. The fate of the earth depends on your ability to work together — no pressure!
5. Unwind On The Resort-Style Amplified Pool Deck
One of the most popular places to hang onboard Navigator of the Seas is the pool deck. Reimagined during the ship’s Amplification, this sun-drenched chill spot offers double the surface area of the original pool, so you have plenty of space to kick back and bask in the sunshine. There’s even a Splash Pad that’s perfect for playtime with tots.
6. Soak Up The Island Vibes At The Lime And Coconut
Forget everything you thought you knew about cruise bars — the Amplified Navigator of the Seas raises the bar when it comes to tasty cocktails on deck. You’ll find plenty of drinks to quench your thirst at The Lime and Coconut, an island-themed multi-level bar with a rooftop sun deck. Tropical sips are the focus here, and at night, this hotspot turns up the party.
7. Get Creative With Your Confectionary Skills At Sugar Beach
8. Try Not To Wipe Out On The FlowRider*
The Amplified Navigator of the Seas is home to a 40-foot-long FlowRider* surf simulator, where you can practice your surf skills under the eye of a pro.
