Our recent Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas cruise was an unforgettable journey, filled with thrilling excursions, cultural immersion, and the luxurious comforts of the ship itself. Every detail, from the attentive service to the exciting destinations, contributed to an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations. From the moment we stepped on board, the dedicated crew made us feel ...
We were originally scheduled for February 2020 and again in 2021 but they were both cancelled due to COVID. Finally getting our itineraries together this time schedule worked perfectly. We enjoyed 99% of the trip. The staff was wonderful from customer service, room attendants, wait staff, spa personnel, and doctors all going out of their way to make it a joy. Great excursions and plenty to do ...
We chose this cruise because it was long enough to relax and was within our budget. We loved it all. The food was better than we expected. The service crew was better than we expected. The ship was better than we expected. We spend more money than expected because the jewelry was great too. We'll do it again soon.
We will probably go on a different ship next time just to see what the ...
We wanted a cruise to simply relax and not run ragged with shore excursions. We did take 1 shore excursion which turned out to be pretty good. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. So exceptional we asked for the same table each night just to be with the same waiter, assistant waiter and headwaiter. All of the crew smiled and said hello including the officers. The theater shows ...
This was our first ABC islands cruise and 2nd time on Explorer! The ship does not disappoint. The crew were amazing, super friendly and attentive. It's definitely fun to be on a Halloween cruise with the costume parades, ships decorations, Halloween desserts in the Windjammer! Interior of ship was spotless. Food in all dining areas tasty. Entertainment as always on Royal Caribbean was excellent. ...
Cruise was just the wife and me. We booked a guaranteed balcony. We got our room assigned about 3 weeks before sailing. We got room 6338. This turned out to be the largest balcony room we have had. Plenty of room. The balcony does have the steel on lower part, but this didn't really brother us at all. The ship is showing it age in parts, but overall, in decent shape. We also found the ship very ...
I chose the cruise along with my husband and two more family members as we wanted to visit the ABC islands. We had been previously but my family members had not. We also found this cruise to be exceptional value and we had sailed with and enjoyed Royal Caribbean previously.
After booking I found several negative reviews on this site and actually considered cancelling the cruise!! Thankfully I ...
Considering the low cost we paid for this sailing I was not sure what to expect. Wow what a truly wonderful week. I enjoyed every moment. It was full Royal Caribbean to the max. The crew were amazing, we walked directly into the MDR no wait. Chops and Giovanni's we're amazing and I was very happy with the MDR and Windjammer. Entertainment was excellent as always. We loved this ship so much we're ...
I was incredibly nervous about going on Explorer with our kids, knowing it hadn’t been revamped yet. Yes it doesn’t have waterslides or laser tag or other things the bigger and newer ships might have, but they had excellent food and service which was way more important! We had gone on Oasis in February and the food was very disappointed- my blueberry pancakes were so over MICROWAVED that they were ...
I choose this cruise because of the destinations the price and the dates. I had an inside cabin for 3 people. I was surprised on how spacious it was which included a sofa. I had the unlimited dinning package and the food of each of the specialty restaurants was great. Embarkation was fast and painless, also leaving the ship on the last date. Notice that I carry my own luggage.
There were ...
