Review summary

Nothing really negative to report about this cruise or the cruise line Royal Caribbean. The main reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars was merely the quality of the food. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but nothing extraordinary. Loved having 3 complementary spots to eat at and 4 more eateries to choose from if willing to pay. Entertainment was plentiful, if you get bored you must be a boring person. The ice show was superb! Game shows were fun as well. Staff was beyond friendly and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend Royal Caribbean and their ship Explorer of the Seas😊

On Explorer of The Seas, the inside room had a window, a large window overlooking the Promenade. Excellent if you maybe are on a tighter budget but need to be able to see beyond your 4 walls. We loved it!

Ship tip

The ship will valet your luggage to the airport for you when the cruise is over. They will also set up a shuttle for your departure so you don't have to worry about scheduling one. Your steward will deliver all the paperwork to your cabin a few nights before the end of the cruise.
