I went on this cruise as part of a group that owns franchises in Florida. While I never complain about a cruise because I love them so much, the Explorer of the Seas had some flaws. We had a balcony stateroom which was great. Inyoman our room attendant was simply awesome. He always left our room fresh and clean. Ryan, our waiter, was also amazing. he was very attentive during meal service in the main dining hall. The ship in general was in good shape. Never really noticed any areas of concern. The first comedian on the cruise was awful. Not funny at all. Did not bother to go to the adult show. The Magician, the second comedian, and Greg London were all amazing shows. On the last night there was a dance show which was really well put together.
Our 1st stop was Juneau. We did the Glacier Helicopter walk through a company called Costal Helicopters. They were much cheaper than booking on the ship. This company did a great job. their pilots and staff were amazing. We landed at Herbert Glacier and we were the only ones there. The town itself is expensive and many shops were closed due to it being Sunday.
Skagway
Great Cabin, always clean, plenty of room
Did the on/off double Decker bus. Book at the Empress Hotel. Cheap and fun
Walked around the city. Went to Pikes Market, The Glass Museum, and the Space Needle.
