Also of further note is that Navigator is the 1st of the second generation of Voyager-class vessels. She is noted different from her sisters by the set up of the rear buffet (Windjammer) which extends further aft, and also includes "Jade", an Asian fusion buffet. She is also more obviously different in that she has glass balconies which all the 1st generation sisters lack. She is truly identical only to the Mariner of the Seas, which shares her same design changes.
