Review summary

The Explorer of the Seas is a top rated ship! The staterooms were beautiful (we had a superior balcony). The most awesome part of the ship was the service! The people working on the ship did anything and everything to make you happy! The entertainment was fantastic (although the shows were a bit "hokey")...I laughed very hard every night. I am in love with Alan the Cruise Director. I would do this again in a minute -- and plan to very soon!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Never had a bad meal. Food is very rich...most people loved it; I wished it was a little less fattening.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

There was so much to do (besides layout by the pool); my favorite lounge was Dizzy's; the Maharaja room was very comfortable and the shows there were amusing.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

My 16 year old was not impressed with the program -- but she did not want to come home either!

Wonderful...wish we had more time to see the historical sites. Went to an overpriced restaurant that served me raw chicken and tried to tell me it was smoked (The Parrot Club). Only bad experience the entire vacation.

Went snorkeling at Pinel Island. Not many fish to see, but the water was warm, guides were great, and the beach was relaxing.
