Had issues getting everyone off of the ship, which delayed the process of getting on. Not enough room in terminal to accommodate everyone.

We did the Explorer in March this year, to the South Pacific (New Caledonia) We found it to be a lovely ship, if not a tad tired, and the entertainment crew (trivia etc) were even more tired. After hearing the ship was going in for re-furb early 2020 we decided to book her for our Greek Island cruise in May. With the updates I predict she will be awesome.

Sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed your ports of call,so that the ship did not come up to your expectations!
