We had a great time on the Explorer of the Seas. Our balcony cabin was spacious and kept very clean, the staff always had a smile on their face and couldn't do enough to make our stay an enjoyable one. There was a terrific band call Top Notch in the Star Lounge that played great music each night. We enjoyed the both the quality and variety of the food in the main dining room.

The only downside we experienced was there wasn't much entertainment and they tried to squeeze everyone into the Schooner Bar for the daily trivia games. It seems they put in more cabins and that took away from the public spaces which would definitely have been a problem if we hadn't had a balcony cabin. We were able to board the ship as well as disembark without any problems. Overall we had a terrific time and was very glad that we chose this cruise.
