BAD WEATHER, DIDN'T LIKE BERMUDA, BUT STILL A GREAT TIME

This Review was mainly written for some cruise friends, but you might find a few helpful notes in it: DAY ONE: KILLER SAUSAGES & FUH-GEDDA-BOUT-IT From CNY we started by doing most of the 5 hour drive the day before, stayed about one hour from the port (much cheaper than a night in NYC). Our first day got off to a weird start. Eating breakfast at our hotel, I cut into a large breakfast sausage ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My husband and I traveled with other family members on the Explorer out of Bayonne N.J. We drove from Massachusetts, and joined up with them in Connecticut for the rest of the trip. Driving down on Saturday morning wasn't bad we were there in about 5 hours total. The Port of Bayonne is difficult at best. After parking at Premier Parking, we had a 45 minute wait for a shuttle to the pier. We ...

My wife and I booked this cruise as our early 25th anniversary celebration. We had never been to Bermuda, and the opportunity to spend a couple of nights in New York City was a plus. This was our second cruise on the Explorer, the last having been way back in 2004. That was our first week long cruise and really cemented our love of cruising. Coming from Florida, you can imagine the looks we got ...

Family ocean view room not worth it

First let me say this was our first cruise with kids (ages 7,2 & 1). We opted to book the family ocean view cabin based on RC recommendations. It was not the vacation we expected... Some due to RC and some because of the weather. My three points I wish I knew before I cruised and booked the family room: 1- the family state rooms are either at the very front of the ship or the very rear. Our ...

My wife and I decided to squeeze in one more cruise before baby #2 is born later this summer. We left baby #1 at home with our family. It was really nice to have a week just the two of us. We had an absolutely fabulous time. This was our 20th cruise or so and had to be one of the best yet. Our last cruise was in Dec 2012 on Costa Mediterranea which was horrible (see numerous negative reviews). ...

This was my fourth cruise on the Explorer of the Seas. For many family members it was their first, Let me get the one negative out of the way right away and that was the weather. Cloudy, Cold, Windy and Wet was the forcast most everyday. But you can't fight Mother Nature. Embarkation is so easy for us as we live in Bayonne. Bayonne is a wonderful town, and hopefully the powers that be in town ...

Overall. This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise and it won't be our last. We liked everything about the design of Explorer of the Seas, especially the layout. With the Royal Promenade and all dining areas accessed from the center, the stairs and elevators were on the side corridors, so there was never a back-up of people getting off the elevators and stairs. In fact, we found it hard to believe ...

We drove to the parking lot at Cape Liberty which is very easy. Parking is $133 for the week. We walked to the loading area with our luggage. Because we had a junior suite, the boarding was very speedy - a private line! We carried on our own luggage so it was a breeze. There was a bus waiting to take us directly to the ship and we boarded immediately and went to lunch at by noon. Our room, 9324 ...

After taking a Carnival cruise last year and being completely disappointed I was pleasantly surprised by Royal Caribbean's Explorer of The Seas. The cabins need a little updating...starting to have a "worn" look.The public ares must have been updated not too long ago, they seem very nice. Food very good. Service excellent. Entertainment was very good also. Smoking wasn't even a big issue( it was ...

Sailed on the Explorer of the Seas for a 7day Bermuda cruise out of Cape Liberty. There was 6 of us, myself and DH, DH's parents, DH's sister and brother in law. Cape Liberty is a little confusing, not much signage, but its convienent for us because we don't have to fly. We arrived pretty early and breezed through the check in. There was coffee, tea, cookies, etc. We were on board by noon. We ...
