Room was ok. Old decor and colors. AC was great. First room they assigned us was taking water from outside, carpet wet and for 3 or 4 days they had to use a Blower for long hours trying to dry it, then finally they moved us to another cabin. Was better but the balcony full of RUST everywhere. Seens like and old ship from movies. For me was crazy how a Royal Caribbean Ship looks like that in a Balcony. Should simply paint it and problem solved... but.....

Any experience that will last a lifetime. Explorer is one of the oldest ships in RC fleet. She was under consideration to be decommissioned right after Empress of the Seas. I am glad they kept her a little while longer. Thanks for sharing
