This is the 4th time we sailed on the Explorer. Mainly because it leaves from NJ and we would rather avoid the hassle of flying. The Explorer is a nice ship and even though it is an older one it still offers a lot of things to do. If you are looking for zip lines and other adventurous activities you will not find them on the Explorer but there is the rock climbing wall and mini golf, basketball ...

We sailed out of Cape Liberty on March 29, 2014. The day we left there was a system that went through and we had rough seas sailing out. I had already been warned that the ride would get bumpy because the currents come together somewhere near the Carolinas. Unfortunately, I got sick late Sunday evening. I think the meal I had and the rough seas didn't mix. After that one incident, everything was ...

My friend and I booked this as a birthday treat, some sun before a couple of days shopping in New York. We flew from Heathrow, UK and landed in Newark, the lady who met us to arrange transfer for the overnight stay at Newark before embarkation was lovely, very helpful and we arrived safely if somewhat tired and confused with the erratic transfer. Doubletrees Hilton was ok, but $12.95 for wifi for ...

I got the opportunity to take my first cruise on the EOS out of Bayonne (Cape Liberty) in March 2014. The weather at the port was chilly but that didn't stop the sun from reddening my face. I was jacked to get on the ship and take a vacation that had been 7 years in the making. I had never cruised so all I had to compare was reviews...on a side note....90% of the people in these reviews are just ...

I just returned from the Explorer after a 7 day Bahamas cruise. Here are my thoughts. Day One: Port Liberty is more or less the same as the Florida terminals. Organized chaos, but everyone knows their job. It works. Arrived around 11:00 am and were on board by 11:30. This was with a party of 10! The bus ride to the ship is really a very small inconvenience. The weather was raining and chilly, so ...

We sailed this route and Line because of proximity and price. Driving to and from the port is always a plus. Boarding wasn't too bad but they make you wait for buses to take you from the terminal to the ship and the wait can be long. The cabin was dirty as they hadn't been able to vacuum since they ship had the terrible Norovirus outbreak about 2 weeks before. They did start vacuuming again about ...

After tons of snow and freezing cold weather my family and I were more then ready to warm up in the Bahamas sunshine. Our group consisted of 10 people ranging in ages from 9 to 70 years old. Were we celebrating my parents 45th anniversary, so my bother and I treated my parents to their first cruise. EMBARKATION: Was a complete mess. I was prepared for it from reading other cruise critic reviews ...

Overall, this was a terrible cruising experience. We have been on at least seven cruises with various cruise lines including Cunard, Carnival, Disney and one previous cruise with RCCL. After this experience, we are very unlikely to ever cruise on Royal Caribbean again. Some examples of what we experienced, in no particular order: • The experience of getting on and off the ship was awful, ...

We drove from CT to the port. We followed pot hole alley. Just kidding, but wow the pot holes in NJ!! My DH and 2 17yr old girls traveled the week of school break February 16th. We had a balcony aft on the 9th floor. While there were over 1000 kids on board, it really wasn't that noticable. We have all traveled on RC, the Explorer before and found the food to be much better than in the past. After ...

We decided on this cruise because of the destination. Our family flew into EWR 2 nights before embarking. We were glad we did because of the winter weather. We stayed at Best Western Plus Newark. The proximity to the airport is great. Also, this hotel has a cruise shuttle package to Port Liberty. Because we had an exta day we were able to spend a day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Coming ...
