This was my 5th cruise and the second leg of our Back2Back. The first leg was an 11 night Southern Caribbean on the Explorer. I will add a few comparisons throughout the review. All our previous cruise have been on The Explorer.

We met up with our 2 daughters (14 & 16), my mother and grandmother in NJ after disembarking the Explorer on Feb 17 and drove to Baltimore. Royal Caribbean put my husband and I up at the Hilton Hotel as part of the B2B package. The Grandmas and girls stayed at the Elkridge, MD Best Western. Both hotels were very nice and I would highly recommend them. The Best Western offers a Park & Cruise package with up to 14 days free parking, transfers to/from the cruise port and a continental breakfast.

Embarkation was smooth and rather quick. Our only upset was having to carry the case of water we had tagged to be delivered to our room. In Cape Liberty, we would have been able to check the water with our luggage. Next time we will just put the water in a bag and send it on though. Live and learn.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite with Balcony

Cabin JS

Aft JS 8172 was very nice. The aft cabins rarely get much foot traffic so they are very quiet. On occasion we did hear music, not sure where from, but most noticable on the balcony not inside. The bathroom was a great size but be careful as the tub only has a very small area with slip resistant surface. The cabin was very smaller for a JS. The deck 10 D1 balcony we had on the week before on the Explorer was larger! It also lacked the storage space we are use to but with only the 2 of us it was ok. The balcony was large enough for 2 loungers, a 15" small round table, 2 chairs and a 24" square table. Both tables were low and not a comfortable height for having a meal on your balcony. The overhang covered most of the balcony but we did get a good amount of sun.
