We are married and in our early 50's. This was our 5th cruise with RCI in the last 3 years and our 3rd on the Explorer. We are also booked on a 15 day Hawaiian cruise on the Serenade O.T.S. in October 2008.

The itinerary. This was a 12 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean visiting St. Maarten, Antigua, Dominica, Barbados, St. Kitts, St Thomas and San Juan PR. The itinerary was the best we have had and we will go on this cruise again. Each island had something different to offer and we were never bored. This is a great cruise and the 12 days is not too long.

Cape Liberty Cruise Port. Not a pleasant experience. It is hard to get in and out of, always has issues with moving people and the staff on the ship hate it as it always causes the passengers to complain. Work needs to be done to improve the facility. That said, the terminal is not really a part of the cruise and even having to use Cape Liberty Cruise Port would not be enough to prevent me from going on the Explorer again. Read more
