Hello hello! My wife and I just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on the Explorer of the Seas, and we were not disappointed. Hopefully, you will find our review helpful and encouraging.
EMBARKATION
It was a bit clunky, but I think that has more to do with Cape Liberty than anything else. We chose to go through NJ because we wouldn't have to fly. It is definitely worth it, even if the port isn't the most developed for Embarkation and Disembarkation. It was a bit odd in how they started boarding... they gave out numbers and would call them out to board the shuttles for the ship, but no one had numbers 4-16. Aside from that, it was pretty painless. We arrived around 11:30, and we were on the boat within an hour and a half.
