Traveled with children

Traveled on Explorer of the Seas out of New Jersey on 7/31. There were 5 in our party - parents and three young adults (15, 17 and 20). Getting to the port was a nightmare because of road construction and inefficient traffic flow at the port. Things were smooth in the onboarding process and we were able to quickly board the ship once we go through the traffic.

The ship is nice but is showing her age in a few places. Our balcony had been very recently painted and we couldn't sit out there on the first day because of paint fumes. After that, it was fine.

Biggest complaint about the ship was that the elevators do NOT work efficiently. They are downright horrible, in fact. I can't count the times we gave up on waiting and took the stairs.

Cabin D1

Nice cabin, but too far from everything as it as at the front of the ship. Bed was horrendously uncomfortable.
