I have never boadered a ship as quickly as this one, from arriving at Circular Quay, to actually boading the ship took no more than twenty minutes thanks to everone involved from the luggage handlers to the immigration staff, they made it so simple.
So much to do in eleven days so I just relaxed each day and let the younger generation enjoy all the activities available.
The crew, as always ...
We did a day sampler on Explorer and thought we would go longer to give it a try.
We were in Grande suite Deck 10 cabin 1548, the bath is too deep to get into for a shower if you have mobility issues. The cabin is underneath Solarium/ Spa area we could hear trolleys of towels? being moved, but it wasn't annoying. We are very close to lifts but restaurants were at other end of ship ...
Explorer of the Seas 16th November 2018, we had 11 Nights
It was the ports of call we wanted to go to, with friends
We done our own Shore Excursions for this Cruise
Nightly Entertainment was great each night, we also had friends and they also wanted to see the South Pacific, and the date suited us all
I don't think people should be allowed to smoke around the pool deck 11 area on the ...
We had previously sailed on Voyager of the Seas a couple of times and was therefore familiar with the feel of the ship.
The amenities and facilities are of the standard you come to expect from RCI. The rooms and all public areas were always clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and accomodating, we have always found the service to be good on RCI cruises.
For this cruise we chose to eat ...
Left Sydney and did the standard South Pacific Islands.
Everything went so smoothly from the time we arrived for embarkation to the very end.
The staff on board we outstanding, nothing was ever too difficult, always friendly and accommodating.
We travelled with family and friends, ranging in ages 15 to 89...there was something for everyone.
We did the shows every night, arrived about ...
My partner and I have cruised with Royal Caribbean before on Radiance of the Seas but this ship was much better in regards to things to do and the interior of the ship. The decor was beautiful and there were a lot more activities onboard than on Radiance.
I feel that this particular ship is more suited to young and middle-aged people but there were a lot of older people on it enjoying ...
I chose this cruise because it stopped at the islands i wanted to visit. It was our first cruise. From when we boarded until we disembarked we had a fantastic time. Our cabin was number 3716, we were on level three at the Sapphire Dining room end of the ship. Our room was spacious, ensuite was a little tight but i wasnt expecting anything bigger. Our cabin steward did a fabulous job, our room was ...
We were lucky enough to get a great deal in an Owners Suite so we were spoilt and I loved the room and the extra perks which fitted our family of four. My only complaint about the ship was I found the entertainment and the staff that did the entertainment a little boring. A little more fun stuff would of been great, but maybe I just like a good laugh so found the trivia etc. a little repetitive ...
Went in a group of 6 friends, one of whom has cruised with Royal Carribbean many times and recommended this shipping line. From the moment we arrived at the dock in Sydney to check in, everything was streamlined and hassle-free. The staff are absolutely amazing. The food is awesome, although as an eco-conscious person, I do struggle with the amount of food that is wasted. Love the idea of no ...
Moderate luxury in junior suite Paying constantly for extras such as onshore cruises where more extras such as snorkeling. Can’t access an iron. Friendly staff. Food average to ok. Junior suite was spacious and clean but needs maintenance. Very expensive internet. Good entertainment. I didn’t like hints near the end to tip in addition to pre paid gratuity. Also to leave good reviews. We paid ...
