We chose this cruise for the D Day Beaches and the American Cemetery at Normandy. We booked a fairly expensive all day excursion in Le Havre. I was shocked to receive an email about a month before sailing, that due to ship speed limits, we would not arrive a Le Havre at 10:30 am as scheduled but at 12:30 pm. The excursion was cancelled and we did receive a full refund. I booked a different ...

Cabins need a refurb. Public areas ok. Entertainment was hit and miss. Ventriloquist was excellent a really funny show. Take that experience were good. Not sure about the headliners, didn't enjoy any of their shows. Drinks prices high. Charged for shuttle buses we waited for over an hour for one and in the end paid for a taxi back to the ship, other cruise lines provide these free of charge. ...

The ship was nice, people were great. Dining room dinner menu disappointed and we ate in the windjammer most nights. When we did eat in the dining room, it was good. The ship was on the small side, but it doesn't need to be bigger with ports so close together and one cruise day.
First port, Hamburg Germany on a Sunday. All stores are closed on Sundays, forget shopping. Are you serious ...

We found Explorer of the Seas to be as nice as when we first sailed on her 3 years ago on an Alaskan cruise. In fact, we found the service and food to be even better! The ship is kept immaculately clean. We were surprisingly assigned the same balcony cabin, 8280, from our Alaskan cruise which is mid ship and a perfect spot.
The only disappointment was in picking this particular cruise, we ...

We chose this cruise because we had not been to Hamburg, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Felt it was a good way to see these destinations. Apart from the drizzly weather, which was expected at this time of the year, they were very interesting places.
Embarkation at Southampton was extremely easy, onboard very quickly and cabin and luggage available within hour.
We had inside cabin 8673, very ...

This ship is disappointing. The room 2640 is on top of the engine room and is very noisy. The decor is tired and dated. The staff and food are excellent but it feels budget in comparison with celebrity and P & O. For example, there are no nice complimentary toiletries - just some body wash in a locked container in the shower. There are no little towel animals or chocolates on the pillow, nor is ...

We are C&A members, and we've sailed with RC over 10 times. So by no means we are "rookies". Granted this was a charter cruise, but we expected the service to be RC quality. Boy were we wrong.
There is an extreme lack of personnel in the general public area. Starting with the Windjammer, the food was mediocre at its best. There were no personnel going around tables to offer drinks from the bar. ...

We stayed overnight in a hotel in Southampton then got a taxi to the city terminal for 11am.
As D+ loyalty we got priority security and check in and were on the ship within 20 minutes.
We called into the Diamond Lounge for snacks and a hot drink as windjammer wasn't open.
Our balcony cabin was ready by 1pm and 30 minutes later our cases turned up so we unpacked and went for lunch.
We ...

Having had a brilliant cruise on Navigator last year, we booked to do the same itinerary with friends from Scotland.
Our 19th cruise - and 8th with R.C. but what a huge disappointment - so much has changed.
The admin staff were 'polite' to the point of rudeness.
The ship was tired and dull - downright grubby in places. Mirrors in dining room had a film of grease over them. No real ...
