My hubby and I celebrated our 25th on Explorer of the Seas. We were impressed! We left from Cape Liberty-embarking was easy and smooth. The ship is spotless and gorgeous. Our stateroom was perfect,comfy big bed,plenty of room,wonderful cabin steward. We were treated like royalty, food was yummy-except so many low cal desserts-forget that, give me rich cheesecake if I'm having it (my only possible complaint)! We did what we felt like (can't do that home), met super nice people, and the topper-we won a free cruise for two in Bingo! Can't wait to do it again and take our daughters! We did the regular embarkation-easy and quick. Loved this cruise. Bravo RC!
