Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

was OK! Booked it to go to Haiti and Jamaica, previous cruise stopped in Labadee but this time they decided to go to Perfect Coco Cay Island,

This was a family cruise with our kids and grandkids. We had a great time but wish the time we had in each port would have been longer.

Wonderful 9 night cruise on Explorer of the Seas. Spent 5 nights in Key Largo prior to cruise. Excellent itinerary that included some ports we had never visited. Staff and ship were great.

Over all very enjoyable. Ship was a bit more average than some we've been on, but we had no problems, other than the smoke.

I enjoy the islands very much and the cruise was nice n relaxing, took a nap with the blackout curtain and rocking from the boat.

Good food, great service, lots of fun activities.

Food, Food, Food... It was just terrible. It almost seemed to us that RC was intentionally trying to guide guests to specialty restaurants. I mean windjammer was that disappointing. Main buffet, didn't matter whether it was breakfast or dinner. They are equally bad. Not just main buffet, deserts, fruits, everything. This was my second cruise experience and the first one that I did exactly a year ago was way better. It was by Celebrity Summit a sister brand of RC. If I had to compare their food quality between two, it was like Jeff Rubys vs Local Chinese Lunch Special. I had such a wonderful experience with Celebrity that I chose the RC expecting it to be identical level, but oh boy I was wrong.

My travel advisor exceeded my expectations! During this trip I needed mobility assistance. My travel advisor arranged for me to have a wheelchair to assist me with boarding. I was very pleased with how seamlessly I went from the luggage drop off point to the shipboard Windjammer. That was the beginning of a wonderful vacation. you Carole from Dream Vacations!

Great cruise. Amazing ports. Would do it again. My husband and I had a great time.

We like Royal Caribbean cruise company. It is the best. We will travel with you in future. Thanks

It was an ok cruise. We enjoyed the ship as far as its layout. The food was above my expectations but the activities and entertainment were lacking. Movies on the big screen were geared toward children as were most of the offerings on TV. What few games we attended were skewed toward children participating even though 98% of the participants were adults. It would have been nice to have a break in the 5 consecutive days of ports. A sea day in there would have been wonderful. The islands are so close to each other that it seems feasible.

Won't be back with royal Caribbean intl. Believed it to be best cruise line and we've experienced many of other big ones (Carnival, MSC, NCL, Celebrity). This ship undelivered, and felt enormous pressure by staff to rate food/wait staff 10/10. Had medical emergency- in part caused by RCI, and RCI did nothing to help resolve issue.

We enjoyed our trip. 5 days of consecutive ports was a lot. I don't know if I would do that again. It is noticeable that the food quality on Royal Caribbean has gone down. It was decent but nothing like it used to be. The staff was amazing on the ship!

Ports were really great. Excellent locations to travel to.

It would've been nice if the 2 days at sea were at beginning instead of end.

The ship was full with lots of children, I don't understand as it was the last week in January with no vacations that I could think of. This made the ship feel like a playground, I am talking couples with 4 to 6 kids. The pools were always crowded & you could never find space in the hot tubs. It was typical RCCL cruise, nothing really bad or nothing really great.

First cruise since the beginning of covid. Many Things have changed, Feel Royal is more concerned about the new ships and younger cruisers than with the people that have cruised with them for many years. My wife and I enjoy cruising and hope Royal starts to realize they are driving their older cruisers that have been with them for years feel left out with all the new changes for younger families.

Overall this was a great cruise as first timers. We did not enjoy the cabin size but we enjoyed the balcony. We also love the food and all other cruise experiences including the port experiences.

Keep your fleet of mid-size ships they make you feel like your on a wonderful vacation, the big ones make me feel like cattle or other livestock being moved around. Plus I'm not quite sure of the spelling of our head-waitress, but when you just need that little relaxing and just feel like your at home and someone cared. She was the best and hardest working young lady I've met. She is your shining star, she still makes me smile when I think of this trip. You've done great work with this crew you have.

It was a great first cruise. It taught me how to plan better for the next one...things I liked things I didn't...but overall excellent!
