Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall we were disappointed with RC EOS, heard fantastic reviews but lacked entertainment and quality and interesting activities onboard. Way too much trivia. Kids (aged 10 & 8) were bored by day 3 and didn't enjoy kids club. Food was mediocre nothing was wow, apart from Chops and Izumi the specialty restaurants. Drinks pack always bought inbound way over priced, just like the rest of the cruise. The promenade was soooo disappointing, only a few shops and the cafe, food was so so. For us, the RC EOS not for us, enjoyed our times on the Carnival spirit.

We had a great time on the Explorer of the Seas. The weather was not good for a lot of the trip and as a result two Fiji ports were cancelled. We managed to get an extra port stop at Port Vila instead so was a good option. There was plenty to do onboard even when the weather wasn’t nice outside. Staff were fabulous! I would go again in a heartbeat. Don’t take too seriously the small amount of people who provide negative reviews - this cruise is great and if you go with a positive attitude you will have a great time!

Outstanding cruise had an amazing time for my Birthday.

What can I say? I love Royal Caribbean its my 3rd cruise. love the people so friendly can never do enough for you to make your cruise holiday an extra special one.

Great cruise overall , Staff once again outstanding especially our MDR wait staff. I personally found the entertainment not that great , probably the best was the band playing by the pool. I see they had issues with water going on stage alot maybe look at addressing there issue as they had to keep looking for staff to mop it out while performing. Obviously a older boat but overall the service onboard will keep me loyal or should I say Royal.😉

4th cruise and I will try not to be critical. Although overall it was a great cruise, there were a couple of nights where the cabaret show were dreadful. The imported singers were out of tune, and one of the trio was trying his best to pickup some female in the crowd. It was so obvious ... Very poor very bad.

In the middle of this cruise and so far below expectations. The entertainment could be better. A bit disorganised generally;maybe because it is a sold out trip and very crowded. Hoping for an improvement.

An overall relaxing holiday, but would exclude Fiji on reflection.

Couldn’t recommend this company any higher. This cruise is perfect if your 8 or 80, single, couple, family or group. The customer service is fantastic and the facilities are great!! The ship is extremely clean which helps prevents any gastro. We will only cruise with Royal Caribbean.

where to start, the crowds you need to battle are a joke, the drinks are below par it's hard to believe they are bartenders, $11.95 to get a movie for your kids onboard in your room, the foods average, $35 to get washing done and it's a few items only, if anything good to say I'd have to say the workers are friendly and nice, apart from that stay with princess cruises etc, royal Caribbean are a joke.

Very good loved the Sapphire Dining & the R cocktail bar

Have been on this ship twice! Really loved it!! It is also really great for big groups and big familys we had 20 people in our crew. Staff is really good and little kids enjoyed adventure ocean!!

Weather was fantastic can not fault a thing. Can not wait to book our nxt one with Royal Caribbean

My one criticism is that i bought a ring on board at the Regalia Fine Jewellery and the sales pitch i got at the time was false. I have been trying to contact the Cruise Services by phone and i get a voice message everytime. Nobody takes calls and i have called within the hours stipulated 7 times.

Enjoyed the cruise, prefer a smaller cruise ship, food amazing, company excellent.

This was my third time sailing Explorer. I loved her the first two times, but not so much this time. The crew was unfriendly and the food was horrible. I’ll definitely think twice before sailing her again.

This was our first cruise and overall we thoroughly enjoyed the experience with RC. We will be back again for sure.

Again, best staff and service!!! Coming back soon!!!

Fantastic cruise would highly recommend , I just booked another cruise on the same ship for next year.

The ship is getting old and showing it. Unless you go to the speciality restaurants, stick to the buffet. Definitely take in the Ice Shows as this is best thing onboard. Don't expect fast service at the bars or restaurants so take a deep breath and try to enjoy what is there to see. Try to engage the staff because they won't start the conversation but overall the price reflects what you receive.
