Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We enjoyed this cruise so much, admittedly it was mostly our people who we enjoyed, but the staff and crew went out of their ways to make it comfortable and enjoyable!!!

Great trip, will do again in the future. Alaska was totally beautiful.

This was a great cruise and i had an amazing time with family and friends. The entertainment was awesome and the service was unparalleled. Good food was also at the top of my list! Thanks for the great hospitality and for providing my family with the opportunity to experience, make and remember lasting memories for years to come!

Poor customer service....For the amount of money you are paying for the cruise, some things should be free. 140.00 a week for WiFi that barely worked. Watered down drinks. Dining room food was disappointing.. First and last time sailing with Royal Caribbean.

Explorer is a good ship with an excellent crew. Alaska is always a great destination.

Overall a very positive and enjoyable cruise. Highly recommend it.

There was mold/mildew in the grout in the world's smallest shower. No washcloths were provided until requested. The staff is all about getting more cash for tips over and above what the Ship charges already. Three of the 7 days of this cruise are at sea and most of the 4th also. Don't wast your money on a balcony stateroom.

We did the 7 day round trip up to Skagway and back; by far this was the most scenic cruise we have done to this point. The drive through the Tracy Arm Fjord (not always a guarantee due to ice) was one of the most stunning things I have ever seen in my life. There is no bad place on deck, as the boat executes multiple slow 360s when the captain gets as close to the glaicier as he/she can. The rest of this trip is equally awesome.

Side trips are overpriced. If you want soft drinks on this cruise, you must buy a special glass for $70. There is a $14.50 per person per day automatic gratuity charge to your bill. This is not a sun-lovers cruise. Temperatures in summer are very cool in this climate. We had plumbing and mold problems in our cabin.

Had a very good time and enjoyable. the shipcrue was very professional and helpful eat all times

The best cruise 🚢 I have ever taken. It was realllllllly cold when we were in the different ports of call, but, I absolutely loved the WINTER IN SUMMER experience. Wonderful trip.

My husband and I joined 2 other couples for this cruise. We loved our days in port! We did a seaplane to Taku Lodge in Juneau, rented a car to explore on our own in Skagway, and took a carriage ride through Victoria as well as walked the park area. The cruise ship had lots to offer onboard no matter your interest and the staff were very polite and helpful. This was our first cruise and we loved it! Looking forward to doing it over again in the future!

We had a great cruise with our kids. The MDR food isn’t good but we dined at the specialty restaurants.

We had a wonderful time. The staff was great. The shows were great.

I've had better. . . I cruise to be pampered. To experience a lovely meal each evening. To be entertained each evening. The food was abysmal. The ingredients didn't match the description. It was bad enough that you could not walk through any area that had restaurants without being accosted with a request to reserve the premium dining, but they came to your table each evening to push it. If I wanted that kind of experience, I would have gone to Mexico. There wasn't enough entertainment going on each evening. I was told by those who frequented Royal Caribbean that it was just Explorer of the Seas.

The ports were beautiful! Scenery was amazing! Really enjoyed our hike in Skagway. The guides did an excellent job. The ship is a bit run down, but clean.

The boat is showing some age, but it's a big boat. The elevators are always a long wait no matter which set you use. There were times we just gave up waiting and walked. Dont really understand what was happening with that. As for the cruise Alaska is stunning, amazing, incredible, insert whatever words you want, it wont do it justice. You must experience it first hand. The most amazing undisturbed place on earth. There is sometime amazing to see at ever corner. Take the helicopter ride to the glacier, it is beyond description. The Scenic White Pass train ride in Skagway is another must do.

This was our second Alaska cruise and this was an amazing cruise! The staff was great and makes sure you are always aware of washing your hands to avoid getting sick or others sick. Our room was good. It has some minor issues such as the virtual balcony screen having a shaded section that was more of a technical problem and it was not fixed during our stay. Also, the toilet lid was cracked but they replaced it during our cruise. If you are going to drink alcohol, love Soda or coffee, get the drink package. The itinerary was very good but it would be great if the ship can stay longer in Victoria Canada.

I did not really care for our waiter in the dinning room to sales me and my dinner party speciality restaurant also nickle and dime for every little thing while on ship.
