Disappointing

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Explorer of the Seas

The overall cruise was disappointing. I ordered room service almost everyday on the cruise ship and each time the food was cold. They give you leftover fries and wrap them in plastic after they warm it up. Room service took about an hour each time I ordered and food was still cold.. food selections are horrible.. no real restaurants besides the steak house. Beverage Drinks are made up for you ...

There is for breakfast and lunch massive queues, as Windjammer is too small for capacity of the ship. Apparently capacity of the passangers is 4200, Windjammer can hold I think roughly 1000.I stayed hungry or eating any food which I dislike as I couldn't get trough the counter l... Booked suites which is basically slightly large than balcony, not even sofa bed, only old dirty sofa. Ship is old ...

We have cruised with P&O, RC Symphony of the Seas, Virgin Scarlet lady, Morella, and by far this was the worst ship we have ever been on, this ship is well past its sell by date, falling apart, outdated. Entertainment was the worst I have ever seen, butlins is much better, people walking out 10 mins into shows, what really annoys me is that this was the 2nd most expensive cruise we have been ...

Disgusting ship, looks very dirty and fallen apart. Very old and not kept amenities, dirty old bed sheets and blocked shower drain, the hair dryer stops to work half way,it was not possible to dry the hair completily and I have short hair. Unfriendly personal at the poolbar and cafe. Crowed swimmingpool area, no rules in the jacuzzi, a lot of people at the same time and children jumping on it. I ...

We wanted to take a cruise vacation on that specific dates. We liked the destinations and picked RC. It is really a low quality company. I understand many people chose this company because of the price but we were not happy at all. First the ship is old and dirty. may be that had better this. Secondly, we were not sati sfied the service at all. The food is not good, fitness center is not well kept ...

The ship is ...

My family and I had booked the explorer of the seas hoping for a wonderful vacation over the holidays. Little did we know it would completely turn us off of cruising for good. The customer service was absolutely atrocious. When we booked our room we had made sure that they were joining balcony rooms due to the fact that I have a large family and one room would not be enough. The lady who we booked ...

After an awful cruise on Oasis of the Seas we were looking forward as a family to go onto Explorer of the Seas. One of the main reasons for choosing this ship was the flowrider and after being promised that it had been fixed prior to our sailing once onboard found out it was still broken.(needed a new pump) The sports team were fantastic and once fixed the following evening kept it open ...

The ship is very, very tired and in need of a major overhaul. Rust all over the place especially at the balconies. Itinerary changed 3 times before we sailed. Even RCCL survey at the end of the cruise wanted us to review a port we did not even go too. My Time Diners had to wait over 2 hours to be seated. Food was very inconsistent and way below RCCL standards. Some venues were not open for diner ...

We have sailed on 9 different Royal Caribbean ships in the last 7 years. There are always a few issues here and there, most of the time just to be overlooked. But not on this ship on this sailing. Our trip departed from Miami on May 14th, 2022. We were originally scheduled to stop in Bonaire, Curacao, and then Aruba. Without any notification to us, the itinerary was changed a couple weeks ...
