Review summary

Loved this cruise. The pools were great. The solarium pool and loungers alone outweighs many other ships. Love that it’s a little smaller and so charming. A little dated but really loved it anyway. The staff tries so hard even though there is a higher guest to staff ratio now. Would cruise on the Explorer again

We LOVED the view of this Cabin. After we won a RoyalUp but the “upgraded” room they moved us to was more like a Royal Down. Luckily the ship wasn’t very full *this is key because in 2022 it has been a higher guest to crew ratio* They finally moved us to 1802 and i love to see what the captain sees. Right above the bridge. Amazing views
