Background Info: This was our third Royal Caribbean cruise. We can not get enough! We have cruise on Majesty of the Seas (where we were married), Jewel of the Sea and now Explorer. This cruise was for my husband's 50th Birthday!
Travel to Port: We live on Long Island so travel to the port was a piece of cake. We did not hit any traffic and breezed in to beautiful Bayonne (haha). We unloaded our luggage, parked and were on the ship in no time. It really was a smooth and painless process.
Our Cabin: 9600 - We had a balcony cabin which we will never cruise without again. The balcony is so worth the extra money. We watch the sun come up as we were arriving in Bermuda and it really was beautiful. Our cabin stewart Luis was great and very accommodating.
