Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The staff, the amenities and the ship itself all met or exceeded my expectations. There was never a time where I was lacking for something to do, as the variety of choices covered any experience you could expect. From sports to entertainment to just plain relaxing, it was all available at whatever level you would want.

Not too big older ship

We had a wonderful time. There was something to do everyday or just sit by the pool and relax. The dining room experience was very nice and our waiter was exceptional. He was very polite and friendly. The Cruise director was the best, he stopped at nothing to make everyone have a great time. The ship was clean and the shops were nice. The serivice in the Portofino restaurant was excellent and the food was great.

i think the ship needs to go in for overhaul

This was the second time that we sailed on the Explorer of the Seas and it was even better then the first time. The ship you can see a bit of wear and tear but what do you expect after more then 10 years. All the service was just above and beyond. You feel like you are really special. Royal Caribbean treats all their guest the best. The shows are just \"Great\" everything was wonderful. Food was wonderful. Best food ever!

This was mine and my husbands honeymoon and we had a great time! the entertainment was awesome and so were the staff on board everyone went over and beyond to make our stay perfect!

Although the quality of the buffets has gone down in recent years, the ship was well maintained and the staff could not of been better.

Overall the amenties on the ship were good. I was on this ship in 2003 when it was new and now you can see it it starting to show its age. it could use a face lift. the staff, food and entertainment were all spectacular.

That ship is wonderful like a city on the sea has every thing you need or you don't, friendly workers a lot of fun also I got very good price thrw bj,s travel over all is wonderful trip

Friendly people on the ship, excellent food for dinner, stateroom good size and well layed out, very good shows.

This was our very first cruise. .and it could not have been more perfect. The service and attention to detail and customer's wishes was more than expected. So much to do or not--the variety of choices was overwhelming/how can we fit it all in? The entertainment in the Palace Theatre kept us wishing for more; the exhuberance of the Cruise Director makes me smile as I write this. Attention to detail is amazing. The boarding and exit process was extremely thought out and had no glitches. When can we go again?

Usually pick RC for cruises. Less formal than Holland America; more formal than Carnival.

this is my second time on Explorer of the Seas and I love ths ship although there are a few cons along with the pros. The cruise director is very funny and entertaining, the shows are great although there are one or two i did not really care for including the promenade parades. The food is good but the morning orange juice is still terrible and other juices are not any better unless there is something you are paying for. The virgin pina coladas and mango tangos are to die for! Casino and night club too smoky. The staff are all wonderful and the service is great .The ship shows a little wear and tear, not too bad. Photographers need to show a little more creativity. The shops need to have more sale prices. Overall I had a great time and would come back.

Good crew and clean conditions on most of the ship. Some odor in some rest rooms

everything was excelent staff wa

Clean, well organized, awesome staff; and a GREAT vacation experience.

I think everyone onboard should be compensated for the terrible experience of being hit by the other ship...I think that since we booked through you, you should get in contact with Royal Caribbean and see if we are to be compensated for trauma... The second thing is that the Portifino Restaurant was booked the entire week...I think that in the future, they should only let a one party get to experience the restaurant, instead of letting people book it for the entire cruise...my sister and I were so looking forward to the dining experience, we were a party of two...they could not find space for us the whole cruise???

The ship needs to be updated. But you don't notice because of the great staff and the service. Food is excellent and plenty of it. Very friendly and happy cruise.

Too expensive for the cruise we got. Wanted to charge for everythin!. Had \"charge\" items on main (free) dining room menu.

Ship needs a makeover, chef at the windjammer needs to be fired on the spot. Service was ok. Most things are over priced. I wont go on a RC cruise again!
