Having previously experienced SS Mariner in April 2015 we were really looking forward to taking a voyage on the new SS Explorer in Sept 2016. It was a 10 night cruise from Venice to Monte Carlo with various interesting ports of call along the way. The ship has been described with many superlatives and the anticipation levels were high.
Please note: Long review warning!
We enjoyed pleasant overnight stay at he Marriott Hotel in the Venetian lagoon. Lovely hotel, excellent setting/position, great rooms and very good service. The downside was that outside, particularly the roof top pool, it is infested by wasps! Unfortunately, my wife got stung on the foot a couple of hours prior to us boarding the ship - and spent the next 8 days with a badly swollen foot and leg, which caused a few problems - but she overcame it all stoically in the end.
Cabin Review
Seven Seas Suite
Cabin SS1
Cabin is a suite! Spacious and well laid out - with a separate bedroom and an additional "guest" bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable and the extra touches like sewing kits, soaps, shower gels and potions etc are greatly appreciated.
Furnishings and decor are sublime, very comfortable and the remotely controlled curtains are a nice touch.
Bathroom is incredible and the walk in closet is great, tons of space and drawers etc.
Balcony is massive - pity only 1 sun lounger but, other than that, a huge and wonderful space. The "L" shaped settee and coffee table are great for those quiet moments!
