Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The ship was wonderful. Well kept, clean, everything in order. The staff was outstanding.

excellent!

Wow was the first thing I said when I got on the ship....everything so well organize very good service......we had a great time

The ship was large with much activity. Nine days is the perfect length for a cruise because you can go offshore for four days and relax on board for five days. Bermuda is wonderful, as was Old San Juan.

Very friendly staff, great food, exceptional cleanliness of ship, new upgrades.

Big ship. 2nd cruise - would definitely cruise again.

A very enjoyable cruise. It rained the 1st day out at sea(and most nites the weather could have been more cooperative), which put a damper on the start of the cruise. The next 3 days, however, could have not been better. The oceanview balcony room could have been a bit larger(there were 3 of us in 1 room). The 2nd couple we were traveling with was my son & his fiance. I booked their room, a 'guaranteed inside stateroom', a little less than a week after mine. There could have been a bit more effort in trying to place them closer to us. Instead their room was on the complete opposite end of the ship. I was very disappointed.

Clean, amenities were very accessible. Lots to do, great food. Great staff.

This is my first time curise and I really enjoy it very much.

There was alot to do while we were at sea. Different type of foods to eat. Everyone was very friendly. Shopping deals were good. Overall the cruise was wonderful.

The ship has not been maintained. It is clear the company has failed to put money in the upkeep of the ship. The value of what I spent was not worth what I received.

The ship's decor was dated and worn. We actually had a blood stained mattress pad. The pool towels were stained. There were a limited amount of poolside chairs available so laying out was not an option. The kids water slide was open for a very few select hours everyday and most were not convenient.

Overall we were satisfied with the ship, but it did not meet our expectations of Royal Carribean.

Clean, spacious, and really nice. Pleanty to do and can you believe an ice scating ring on the ship.

One word that best describes this cruise is the moneypit. There is really notihing you can do on the ship for free. The food is horrible & most of the time is spent waiting for evelators & shuffling from one side of the ship to the other. The staff is very friendly & helpful though.

The whole ship was really well maintained

Ship was clean and service was very good. Friendly staff.

The ship was huge, with lots to do. I spent a lot of time at the gym, which has a cardio area, a weights area, a sauna, and a steam room, and many classes. I also played a lot of ping pong, and spent time in one of the many hot tubs. We were worried that it would be crowded, since there were more then 3000 passengers. But it wasn't.

The staterooms were nice and the stateroom steward was good. The dining room servers were very good. But the menu was too limited. The Medic office staff were cold and ineffective. The gust relations department was not accomodating. There is a definite lack of communication between departments. The public bathrooms, the 24 hour cafe and windjammer need to be constantly cleaned. They were dirty. Some of the staff need to take a course on people skills, They did not smile as a matter of fact some growl at you.

The ship was really wonderful. Absolutely loved the ship. Beautiful. Full of everything you could possibly want or need.
