Explorer of the Seas Review

Additional details
The embarkation process was fairly painless. We used the regular check in lines when we realized that we could have used the priority lanes since we had a junior suite. We did wait in the priority boarding area though, so that was nice.
Boarding was easy and the first opinions of the ship was great, very large and spacey feeling, got to our cabins around 1.30pm. The junior suites are large and roomy with ample storage space. The walk in closet is a huge bonus. Balcony was a great size too.
After looking around carefully , yes you can see a few rust spots and stains on the carpets, a few scrapes and such but I don't think enough to be off putting. Unless you are going on a brand new ship , you will see some blemishes.
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
Cabin numbers 9234, 9238 and 9340 are all in a row, aft and right off the stairway. All three rooms are the same, large and spacious with plenty of storage and nice balcony, and even though they were very close to the elevators and stair were very quiet.
