Just returned today from 9-day cruise to Bermuda/Bahamas. Cape Liberty is tough to maneuver out of - very, very crowded with long lines waiting for taxis, etc. Why doesn't the port institute the concept of "Arrivals" and "Departures" so drivers can follow and lessen the traffic?
I felt Explorer needs to update their food items; everyday was the same, especially for the lunch buffet - desserts were certainly unappealing at best, never looked 'home made' but appeared sort of 'plastic'. For some strange reason broccoli was not available for your omelets, however brocoli did magically appear at lunch buffets (for salads) as well as at dinner time. Strange...
Dinner was hum-drum, nothing to write home about; our wait staff was terrific though -friendly, professional and so attentive; they were the best part of dinner; the food was never hot - barely warm at best. Very little vegetables served with your entree and when served they were not cooked thoroughly; hard carrots, potatoes - you get the picture. Very disappointing.
We felt as though we were being 'nickel-ed and dim-ed'- for example when ordering cappuccino's, lattes - you had to PAY for them with your Sea Pass which meant this card was constantly being passed around all day long - why doesn't RCCL think of having a 'coffee card' much like Princess has? It's much more convenient - or how about just adding an additional, say, $15.00 per person up front and have these beverages available all day without charging? Also you could not get an iced coffee on Explorer!! You could get a cup of coffee, then another, separate cup full of ice - not at the Cafe Promenade, however - so once you did receive these items YOU could then blend them for your very own iced coffee! What's the deal with that?
The pools on Explorer were small and very crowded - the steps and handrails were slippery - a friend in our group fell the other day and bruised her side.
Really don't think I'll be quick to reserve another cruise on RCCL -
