Review summary

Adventured to The Canary Islands from Southampton on Explorer. I usually sail on smaller sized ships so there were a lot of new things to see and explore! Junior Suite was more than enough room for 2 friends to share and be comfortable in without feeling crowded! All excursions were done through RC and each one was well organized, informative, interesting and fun. Ate in all the speciality restaurants as well the main dining room and the food and service was excellent in all. The only issue I had was the Windjammer became difficult to navigate as the space between food stations is much too narrow, and the tables are really packed together tightly so getting by people to get to a table was often disruptive to those eating. Another problem was that all the bars were all so crowded every night that there was difficulty finding a spot to relax and have a drink. Even when the shows were playing each bar was packed with people! I liked the fact the pool deck was so large and there was never an issue of finding a seat, even on sea days! The ship was clean and comfortable and the staff was great! Would enjoy being on her again, but I think I still prefer the smaller ones.
