Explorer of the Seas Review

Additional details
This was an ADVENTURE. Pre-Cruise Arrangements Flight from Heathrow to Newark was a breeze from Terminal 5, we napped a little on the 8 hour BA flight in between nice small balanced meals and a good selection of films.
Transfers to the Hotel were easy with a 5 - 10 minute bus ride to a central hub and a quick call to the Doubletree to pick us up. The Doubletree was a nice layover hotel and helped us plan our chosen time to kill activity of Outlet Mall shopping by advising us to avoid a $54 dollar round trip cab ride and return to the hub on their free shuttle and get a free shuttle to the Jersey Gardens. We were obviously aware of Sandy and possible implications at that time and used the internet services to check RCCL for statements.

Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Inside Cabin, situated Fore and Port so rocky during Sandy (no surprise)
Clean and tidy always. TV was older and had no on/off button you had to poke your finger into a hole and push a little button inside.A minor thing for us as we dont go on holiday to watch tv but it was there, so worth noting.
The bathroom was clean and tidy but the sink unit had a little dig out of it right at the very front. A bathroom refit, even if it was just that unit, would make a lot of diffence.
