We had an amazing holiday for 14 nights on the explorer in August. This was our second cruise with tui the first one was on the dream 2 years ago. The explorer was larger than the dream but we soon got used to navigating our way around the ship. We really enjoyed the sail away party and relaxing in the adults only section after a day off the ship. All the restaurants were very good, we didn't try the speciality restaurants as the food in the inclusive restaurants was so good. We did think there could have been more entertainment/activities going on in the day. Most of the ports of call were really good and we enjoyed them except in the port of Sardinia which we thought was disappointing.

Our holiday was made extra special by one member of staff on the back of the ship in the Mediterranean bar His service was fab and he always made time not to only serve us our drinks but talk to us and answer any questions we had. His name was Rene. It was really nice to meet you Rene, by the time we left we felt like you had become a friend.

Another member of staff was Marlon. Thank you Marlon for your great service. Read more
