Narrative:
I was serving beverages in first class shortly after takeoff. The captain called me on the interphone to come to the cockpit. I went to the cockpit and he informed me that we would be diverting to orlando due to a navigation equipment problem. He said there was no need to evacuate/evacuation and no emergency. He said that they just needed to land at the closest airport to have the problem fixed. I then informed the other flight attendants and we did our preparations for landing. We landed safely in orlando and the passenger were informed that the aircraft was OTS so they deplaned.
