Review summary
This was our second cruise - the first one was with Celebrity. The Explorer of the Seas was nice, but they did not re-enforce the main dining room dress code, diving and jumping in the swimming pools. The ship was full and the swimming pools could not accommodate everyone. Even the shows that you needed tickets for (Ice Show). We tried to attend on all five days they had the show and was unable to get in. The ship needed to have specific times for jogging -all day long on the decks you had to step out of the way for numerous people jogging with strollers, etc. At breakfast, you could not get seats in the Windjammer and had to find staff to clean tables. Prices of water and alcohol were higher than the Celebrity. I also felt that paying $20 per person to go to the Italian restaurant was a little much. We had a balcony room and I felt for the money we paid, we could have had a nicer time at an all inclusive.Ship experiences
