Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

My favorite cruise I've been on, loved all of the islands and there was so much to do both on the ship and on the islands. So much fun for everyone.

Cleanliness and service were great! Hope they continue serving the food at the buffet. Love it that way!

Royal exceeded our expectations! Already booking our next cruise with our children. Highly recommend the deluxe drink package and paying gratuities ahead of time! All paid off for us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves with a hefty bill at the end!

This is my 17th RCC. I know what to expect and under the circumstances I was entertained , enjoyed the food and drinks and adapted accordingly !

We were disappointed. We tried not to compare to pre-covid cruises, but it was hard. not worth the money yet.

Since this is my first cruise I didn't know to expect. I am very happy with the experience and I am ready to book another end-of-year cruise in the Caribbean.

Good to get away. Royal did OK on this cruise. We did an Alaskan in August on Holland America. Holland staff was much happier and was far superior than royal.

We really enjoyed our time on Explorer of the Seas after a very long anticipated wait time and lots of anxiety over getting vaccinated and all the protocols. We had made a conscious choice not to get vaccinated for several reasons, but the desire to go on this cruise was overwhelming and we chose to get vaccinated. The embarkation process sounded so intimidating, but we were prepared, and Royal Caribbean did a great job. I was amazed at how easy and painless it was. The lower capacity on the ship was nice so there was not as long a wait at the elevators and easy to find a chair by the pool, but it did make some of the activities less fun I think because there weren't enough people to really get things going. Overall, it was a fantastic experience despite the COVID protocols that were necessary. Every staff member we encountered was cheerful, friendly and accommodating. We will definitely go on another Royal Caribbean cruise in the future.

Ship was very cheap and the staff greeted you daily. Vaccinated vs. Non-vaccinated were separated in the Main Dining room and Solarium.

Learning experience for our first cruise back. Some precautions were well taken; others need further consideration. Lack of transparency of testing and contact tracing for some guests is uncalled for.

Outstanding cruise overall, great value! Especially liked being in a new port every day, no "at sea" days. The staff/service on board was exceptional, as was the entertainment.

For a Covid generation cruise, I have to say the Royal Caribbean did qn excellent job! The staff everywhere on the ship was amazing! Definitely would recommend to everyone.

It was overall a great cruise, would love to see RCC add shade structure over the suite guest lou hung area on pool deck and advertise spa deals on the app or in room.

This was a great cruise with great islands. I highly suggest them. The ship was filled to half capacity so very easy to get around. The service was still amazing.

We had a great time, if you decide to venture onto this ship you will not be disappointed.

For our first cruise back after cruise shut-down, this was excellent! We loved sailing on Explorer, and would sail on her again. We made all of our port stops, and enjoyed each port. As long as we could keep track of the protocols on the ship and the different protocols on each island, we were fine. The itinerary was wonderful, and the ship & crew were just what we needed after not cruising for 617 days.

Very nice cruise, goods ports of call and just the right number of days. Ship is a little dated, but is scheduled to be renovated soon.

Cruising is our families preferred vacation. You are spoiled and don't have to figure out what to do and where to eat everyday. It is easier to relax and enjoy your time when everything is available to you on the ship and the ports.

Again, we love this size ship and enjoyed everything about the ship except food in the dining room is not as good of quality as we have in past cruises either with RC or other cruise lines.

We had a wonderful time onboard the Explorer of the Seas. Can't wait to book another cruise
