Let me also state by saying that we do not make a habit of writing reviews, however in this case we felt as if we should make our feelings known. These are our true and honest thoughts. We have done over 15 cruises so are not newbies. We embarked the Explorer of the Seas at Southampton for our 12 night trip to the Canary Islands. We had a balcony cabin on deck 6 - this proved to be very quite ...

This was our 3rd and least enjoyable cruise with RCI. Where do I begin? 1. The ship is too old. The moment I saw it I was filled with dread. Outdated, smelled of mildew the entire cruise. Horrible decor. Eyesore. 2. Staff was inattentive. Had to hunt for drinks, tables etc. They could care less unless tips were involved nearing the end of the cruise. 3. Food. Less just say, we lost ...

We recently returned from a 12 night cruise on the Explorer to the Canary Islands, Morocco, and Spain. The reason we selected this cruise was that our vacation time is limited and the Canaries are rarely visited during the summer months, I don't know if RCCL is slipping a bit, or it was the ship, or because of the mostly UK guests, but from our perspective the food especially was pretty bland and ...

Having been on many different cruise lines over the past 10 years we purposely chose Royal Caribbean because we were taking our 13 month Grandson and RCI brochure States the Explorer of the Seas if a family freindly ship. Therefore we expected a child freindly environment, how wrong was we. Babies/toddlers can only use the pools if they are 100% toilet trained they are not allowed to wear swimming ...

I would always say that people generally will only review if they haven't had a good experience and I therefore am going to defy the negative critics and give a positive review of our experiences on the Explorer of the Seas in June 2015. I would say that we chose RC to be on a family friendly Ship, which was the case with our family holiday, we travelled with our 5 & 10 year old children and ...

I don't normally write reviews but as this was our first cruise we read all the reviews on this site and asked lots of questions so hope it may help others like us. We travelled with our two Young boys, 3 (turned 4 during cruise) and 2 year old on the 12 night canaries and North Africa cruise. We booked one of the new panoramic rooms of deck 12. For us the room was fantastic. Spotless, ...
