The trip started off well with a very efficient embarkation. Our rooms were ready on-time to the minute.
Things that stood out for me on this voyage:
The medical facility was good. I was glad to be able to purchase some ibuprofen and dayquil there and it was well staffed.
The Shore excursions desk was particularly helpful. I appreciated getting good advice about destinations without ...
This was a sensational cruise
The embarkation was swift and straight to Windjammers ( great quality)
Cabin better than expected ( Hanging area loaded with hangers
Ship was well run you could feel the vibe and the unity that this was a committed team .
The ship was always being cleaned all we need to do it Coach the passengers to wash their hands !!
The wait staff in the MDR and ...
We have been on a number of Royal Carribean cruises and wanted to experience the bigger ship. We were very disappointed with a number of issues. The food in the main diningroom (dinner) was mediocre compared to previous cruises. The buffet food in the Windjammer however was very good. The entertainment in the theatre was very good for five of the ten evenings. The other evenings consisted of ...
Great ship, entertainment was okay but not amazing . Loved the poolside movies and the ice show was beautiful.
I would have liked to have a cruise compass before booking, we booked the 6pm dining room sitting but with the 6pm movies, 7pm or 9 pm shows you miss something.
Disappointed with the sapphire restaurant options(lots of seafood, but if you don't eat seafood the options are ...

The cabin was very clean and well kept.the dining staff were very helpful n there were lots of choices of food. The entertainment was great as we experienced a variety of performance . Lots ...
We decided to book this cruise at the last minute, we were lucky to get a cabin! We booked a balcony room and we were given a Junior suite which was a lovely surprise. We really loved the suite it was spacious and the walk in wardrobe was excellent, and we got priority boarding as well which was also a great treat.
We had sunny weather for the entire trip, my favorite stops were Mystery ...
Don't get me wrong, this is a great ship. Previously we have been on Rapsody and Radiance of the seas. This ship carries nealy double the amount of passingers. The ship has extra bars eating area's and meeting places to cover this. The problem is when some of the more popular activities are scheduled for an area you may find participation is difficult unless you arrive 30-40 minutes prior to the ...
I have never boadered a ship as quickly as this one, from arriving at Circular Quay, to actually boading the ship took no more than twenty minutes thanks to everone involved from the luggage handlers to the immigration staff, they made it so simple.
So much to do in eleven days so I just relaxed each day and let the younger generation enjoy all the activities available.
The crew, as always ...
We did a day sampler on Explorer and thought we would go longer to give it a try.
We were in Grande suite Deck 10 cabin 1548, the bath is too deep to get into for a shower if you have mobility issues. The cabin is underneath Solarium/ Spa area we could hear trolleys of towels? being moved, but it wasn't annoying. We are very close to lifts but restaurants were at other end of ship ...
Explorer of the Seas 16th November 2018, we had 11 Nights
It was the ports of call we wanted to go to, with friends
We done our own Shore Excursions for this Cruise
Nightly Entertainment was great each night, we also had friends and they also wanted to see the South Pacific, and the date suited us all
I don't think people should be allowed to smoke around the pool deck 11 area on the ...
