Bermuda Explorer of the Seas Bermuda Cruise Reviews

I was traveling with 6 of my family members. Our itinerary changed from Bermuda to Canada 24 hrs before our departure, thanks to Gonzalo and the Bermuda authorities. we were notified on Friday Oct 17th, at 4:30pm. I recieved a text, and also RC's website posted a message. The compensation package was 25% back if you cancelled. We decided to go, because some family members were flying up from ...

Cabin – We had a deluxe balcony 6624 on the hump. The room was large with a small sitting area and desk. The bed is two twins either separated or apart with comfortable linens. The bathroom is the typical small room with sink, toilet and shower, but the shower had a nice door closure instead of just a shower curtain. The shower pressure could have been a little more powerful. The balcony was a ...

Just got in from our 5 day Explorer of the Seas trip to Bermuda and figured I would post a review before the memories fade! Before I begin, I'm generally not one to focus on the negatives. This cruise had a lot of them, however. Embarkation: For us it was a breeze. We left CT at 8:30 am and arrived at the port around 10 am. We hopped out, dropped off our luggage and were placed in a line to board ...

This is our 8th cruise, the 6th with Royal Caribbean, 4th on the Explorer of the Seas. We traveled with a group of 8, 4 cabins. Our ages ranged from 19 to 75. Getting on the cruise was a nightmare. When we reached the cruise port at Bayonne, we waited 1 hour in a line of traffic to drop off our suitcases. Only half of the car ports were open due to a lack of staffing. Then another 20-30 minutes ...

we are just returning from a 5 day trip to hell, oops, Bermuda and back. we never made our excursion as we were more than 3 hours late do to a propulsion problem. it rained the entire first day once we got thee. the 2nd day we left early due to Hurricane Cristobal heading our way. We had more than 900 little children on board so imagine what fun it was for two days on board with nothing much ...

My wife and I have sailed on Royal Caribbean several times before and are Gold Members. Last years trip to the Western Mediterranean was amazing with a few small glitches. This years 25th anniversary cruise aboard the Explorer of the Sea to Bermuda was absolutely horrible and after speaking with other passengers, I find we were not alone. I booked this cruise as a surprise for my wife’s and I 25th ...

This was our first cruise with RCL. We have cruise 6 other times on various lines. We were excited to take our first RCL cruise as we have heard wonderful things from other cruisers. Bermuda was truely lovely, and we had a great time despite the ship experience itself. The ship experience in total was incredibly disappointing, particularly at the extremely high price point for a 5 night cruise. ...

My extended family and I recently went on the 5 day cruise to bermuda on the explorer. Overall we had a great time, but there were definitely some disappointments. It was our second time on Royal, 5th cruise overall. Embarkation/Disembarkation: Bayonne cruise port is a complete horror show, as most reviewers note. I arrived at the port at around 11am. Sat in a line of cars for 45 minutes to get ...

This is my husbands and my 11th cruise, 5 with RCL and 2nd time on the Explorer of the Seas. We chose this particular cruise since it came out of Bayonne and was easy to drive to since we live an hour away from the terminal. The parking cost $95 and check in was a breeze. Due to the construction of a new terminal, we had to take a shuttle to the ship after checking in but it is a very short ride ...

Overall, Royal Carribean did a good job. This wasn't the quality level of 10 years ago on RCL but it was still OK. Compared to Carnival, RCL still has it beat. The Explorer of the Sea is getting dated but it is still a capable ship. The stabilization system is getting old and 4 foot seas were challenging it, maybe the stabilization system was inop. The crew was friendly as always and the food was ...
