DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BOOKING WITH ROYAL CARIBBEAN - EXPLORER OF THE SEAS!
I have enjoyed multiple cruises with other cruise companies and have never experienced such a terrible level of service.
I believe that the fundamental problem stems from Royal Caribbean's 'business model,' to gouge money from its customers at every opportunity whilst simultaneously seriously under-delivering to its captive sea-bound audience.
Toilet blocked and overflowed diluted sewerage throughout the bathroom twice on our 3 day cruise. We were particularly careful with the toilet yet it still overflowed.
Our room attendant was lovely.
Sydney is a marvellous embarkation/disembarkation port.
