Repositioning the great Explorer of the SeasReview for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Explorer of the Seas

Where should i start.Getting into cape liberty was a mess. I think it was because a lot of people were beinging dropped off. They presented a traffic problem. We have cruise six or seven times out of Cape Liberty and never experienced this much of a problem. The ship was hit by a rouge wave, no one was hurt and it was handled well. We lost two life boats. The captain kept us well informed
The ...

We went on this cruise because our community hosted it. The food was good and our waiter was fabulous. The ship is tired and worn. I heard it's going in for a renovation in April, so that will make it better. The captain is a hoot. He makes jokes during his morning presentation and was a ham at the return cruisers party. The staff is not stingy with the drinks during those parties either, which is ...

From the very beginning this cruise had big problems. Embakation was delayed over 3 hours, people standing in the hot sun, no explanation, no water...a few passed out (rumor was that the delay was caused by the ship losing a lifeboat when hit by a rogue wave earlier). Once on board, no information was put out by the ship. The Captain did mention the delay during the lifeboat drill but because of ...

We are long time cruisers of Royal Caribbean, but the Explorer of the Seas was a new experience.
The crew were all wonderful. We had the best stateroom attendant and dining room wait staff that you could have ever ask for. All of the staff were wonderful. The food was good. The room was wonderful, and very comfortable.
Our only complaint which was big -- cigarette smoke was everywhere on the 4th ...

The Bayonne terminal was a bit of a nightmare; hopefully the new one is up and running when March rolls around. All of the crew and staff were great you cannot say enough about them.
We know Explorer is headed for a refit, but they may have delayed it too long. Our balcony needed a paint job, something I have never seen on a Royal ship before. We had a large balcony so it fit a couple of chairs ...

This was our 3rd time on Explorer twice out of New Jersey and this time out of Port Canaveral . Where to start the ship was 1.5 hours late getting to port so when we arrived at 11am only half the people were off the ship. We had to stand in line out in the sun for 2 hours, it was very hot about 90 no one came out to offer us water or give us an idea of how long it was going to take before we ...

Explorer OTS repo from NJ to Port Canaveral – Nov 1 to 15, 2014
Friday, October 31, 2014 – Travel day
Good morning everyone. It is 6:40am on October 31, 2014. I am through security at LAX and I am waiting for a 9:10 flight. If all goes well, in about 10 ½ hours I should be landing in Newark. So, as I listen to muffled announcements (that I think are being made in English) regarding the boarding ...

Second time on this ship, 9 years apart, this time with kids. A different experience. The Explorer is still one of favorite ships, although she is by no means the smallest, she still offers the best of both worlds- the feeling of being at sea with a range of activities available. Nice mix of passenger ages.
Embrakation was a nightmare- rumor that porters were on a slow down and certainly appeared ...

Critique of Explorer of the Seas departing Port Liberty 10/9/14
Great time until debarkation. The Captain announced that we would be an hour late as there was a maximum speed which he was not allowed to exceed. 'Tough sailing because of the weather.' I do not know the reason for the speed limit. If he went 2 nautical miles faster he would have made up the time in the apx 1,000 nautical miles ...

This is the 4th time my husband and I have sailed on the Explorer, and its the first time I can honestly say I was very dissapointed. We hardly saw our room attendant to ask any questions, although our room was always cleaned for us. The bartender in the casino bar (the woman) was very friendly,but we tried to ignore the tall gentlemen, as he always was grouchy.
I say Rude Cruise because it was a ...
