Explorer of the Seas Review

Additional details
Our group of 7 family members just returned from a 7 day Bahama Cruise on the Explorer of the Seas. This was my 5th cruise on the Explorer, and I am so sad to think that she will be replaced at the end of this year. The one main negative was embarkation. It has never taken more than 2 hours to board before, and I never found out what caused the delay. I don't usually curse, but this situation had my blood boiling. All seats were taken, and there were hundreds of people standing around waiting for their shuttle bus #'s to be called. Thank goodness this was the only major negative.
We had early dining in the Main Dining Room and were so happy with our service team of Marco & Marko. There was always so many choices on the menu, delivered just as ordered. Delicious.
As always we enjoyed the food at the WIndjammer Buffet and the Cafe Promenade.
Cabin Review
This was an upgrade which I won in the casino. What a beautiful suite!!! There was enough seating for 10 people. The balcony was great. I relaxed in the jacuzzi every night, but beware of the bath gel provided. I just put a few drops into the jacuzzi and the bubbles were cascading out of the tub onto the floor, even though I tried my best to catch the bubbles. The huge swivel TV. The phone in the bathroom. The bidet (which I had no idea how to use). The double sinks. The full size shower. The ability to make myself a cup of tea any time I wanted it. The beautiful furniture. The storage space is unbelievable. 6 Pillows on the so comfortable bed. If you can afford this suite, you will not be disappointed.
