From the minute I went on board the explorer I was excited and it was something out of this world it was my first ever cruise and I was blown away. It made it even better experiencing all this with my cousin who was on radiance 2 months beforehand. The staff were all so welcoming and they were just amazing people. The food was 5 star quality at the windjammer and the main dining too. The entertainment was amazing. I always had something to do. The captain kept us informed on us staying at Dunedan overnight then having to miss a port. I rather miss a port. It was understandable we had to stay there. Even when docked the ship was swaying that night so I don't want to even think what it would have been like if we had left in that storm. Overall I had the best time on this cruise.

The food was incredible. At the windjammer there was so much variety and you could see crew walking around helping everyone. Main dining was amazing we had the best wait staff they made our experience even more special they went out of their way to help you. Food was always well made and very tasty. The cocktails were awesome there are enough bars around the ship to enjoy your favourite cocktails
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
I went to the gym every day. The layout was great and the equipment was in excellent condition. I always had a good work out and then was able to enjoy the spa. I loved loved zoomba at the basketball courts. The adults only area was awesome I enjoyed the spas there. Then off to enjoy some trivia with my cousin. There is so much to do on board you never get bored.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
All the shows were amazing especially the ice skating show that was my favourite I must say and I did love the deck parties and the 70s prominade party. The night club went off around midnight the dj was really good and was friendly
