Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was a great ship. Well kept and clean.

The Explorer of the Seas was well-maintained, very esthetic and staffed by a personable and helpful crew.

The ship was absolutely amazing. It was beautiful, well maintained, and the staff were all exceptionally kind. Our room was incredible and our steward was just phenomenal. The food was abundant and good. The kid's camp was so well thought out and clever--my 10-year-old had an absolute blast! We were in awe. The only complaint I have is that I thought there would have been other single parents in my age range to talk with, but this wasn't the case, and although this was a first rate experience I would not recommend it for a single parent. Go with a friend, other family, boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever, but not alone. It can be somewhat lonely---and I like my alone time! Otherwise it was just great.

From the very beginning of the cruise, we were impressed with the stateroom! It was very well appointed with many storage areas that made unpacking a breeze, and the new shower door feature was a big plus, (as there were no more wet floors and floppy curtains!) Also, having a curtain to draw by the beds and a safe was an extra plus. Our cabin attendant was excellent, and was always willing to accomodate any and all needs! The common areas were beautiful, and we were very impressed with the promenade and the unique dropped casino floor entranceway that was inlaid with coins and gold bars, etc. The shows were great and the ice show too fabulous for words! We liked the feature of the cafe, as we could always get a lite snack late into the evening. We also loved the beautiful adult roman pool and jacuzzi area. We were very impressed with the ports, as the locals were very friendly and the areas very clean, however the tenders were slow for people who weren't taking tours. The 0nly down side of the trip, was too many children and so many poorly behaved. We felt there should have been some security on the ship to keep watch on the children, as they raced through the ship and were riding the elevators in groups chasing each other later into the evening and also using very foul language and innuendos. We would never take another trip when school is out of session!!!!

the ship was great the cruise was excellent the food was the best and overall we had the greatest most relaxing time ever and i would recommend it everyone i know.....

The crew was the most helpful and curtious people I have ever met, they were outstanding.

This was our first Royal Carribean cruise. Much nicer than Carnival. Very easy to board and disembark. More time in ports would be nice. Only 6 hours in some ports. Charge more for cruise and make soft drinks readily available. Getting a soda was always an ordeal. Have a kids menu available during the ala carte lunch. We couldn't eat there because there was nothing available for kids. We requested pizza or chicken fingers but were told, "it would take too long to go get it".

This is our second cruise with Royal Carribbean and we were not dissapointed. The ship was amazing. The Explorer of the Seas was a beautiful ship, The cleanliness of the ship was impecable. The staff was very friendly as we knew they would be. We enjoyed the showes and all of the night life on the ship.Everyone greets you with a smile.The promanade was amazing. Lots of shopping....I would definetly go back on the Explorer

The ship is incredible. There is so much to do that there is never a dull moment. From the shows to the casino everything is first class. The main dining you couldnt ask for better, the food and service is A one. The windjammer is fantastic a buffett that you will never forget. And if you want some quite time order room service, you wont regret it. The Employess and Customer Service do anything in there power to help you. Dont be afraid to ask questions. Everything is very organized from boarding the ship to leaving on excursions. I recommend that you try this cruise the island that we went to were incredible. We will do this cruise again.

The Voyager class ships are outstanding. Our dining room waiter and assistant waiter were the best ever. Our room steward was also excellent. Danielle Smith from is outstanding. I would recommend Danielle to anyone and everyone who may be planning a vacation.

When we pulled into the port in Miami, we were very excited about the size of the ship. This being our first cruise, we did not have anything to compare it to, but we talked to several other passengers who said it was much larger than other ships they have been on. It did not seem crowded at all except at dinner time. There was an overwhelming number of activities for all ages at all times. We definately enjoyed cruising on Royal Caribbean.

This was my fourth cruise. The ship was nice. It was my first tme in a Balcony suite which was very nice. Our experience on this cruise compared to the others was good,not great. The staff on this ship was outstanding fom the room stewards to the dining room service. One person who I felt stood out and made our experience a lot nicer was the greeter at the windjammer cafe, whom i didn't think of getting his name. He was from Jamica and when he spoke with his accent he just made everyone feel so good. He was polite and made sure he greeted everyone coming and going. The overall experience of the ship was good our kids had alot to keep them occupied all day and night. The one draw back I feit was the extra charges on the ship. This was a nice cruise would I cruise again on this ship probally not , but when I cruise again I will try another line that we haven't been on yet which has some bearing on our decision why not to cruise on this ship again.

the best didn't want to leave

The state room are a good size. The beds are so comfortable. I thought the food was terrific !! Ship was clean and it was amazing ...

I love the fact that the workers are so nice and warming. The food is so amazing. I can't believe the wonderful art they do with thier fruits, vegetables, and Ice. I'am just gonna make it short. The cruise was amazing. The number one cruise I've ever been. Thank You for making it the best trip/spring break I've ever had.

Great condition considering its not a newer boat.

the ship was nice. the staff could have been a little better.

a very large ship.

We really enjoy cruising on the Explorer. It has so much to offer with the Promenade Deck with all the Shops, Sport Bar, Seattle Coffee Shop & Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. It is fun to set and have coffee at an outside table to watch all the people and the activities on the Promenade Deck. We also enjoy much of the Entertainment, especially when they bring in special entertainers. The theatre is so large and can accommodate many many people. The casino was also exciting, we even won some jackpots on the slot machines. The excercise room and spa was really great, we took advantage of using them both. Even tho we had an inside cabin, it was really decorated nicely and was one deck below the Windjammer & pools making them easily accessible for us to use.

very large ship. wery impressive.
