Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I love the royal caribean cruise line. I am found of the explorer of the sea because the staff is great and the boat is excellent.

The ship was so large and there was so much to do that I never got bored. I especially liked the variety of places to eat, drink and dance. The champagne bar became my favorite place to hangout and I met many great people there. I enjoyed all the shows and found them to be very professionally presented and not too cheesey, as I feared they would be. I had a great time dancing the nights away, the music was good although the DJ seemed a bit off on some nights. I really enjoyed the ports-of-call excursions, I only wish that there would have been an overnight stop in Puerto Rico so I could have checked out the nightlife. Overall, for my first cruise it was a great experience and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one

I THOUGHT THE SHIP WAS VERY CLEAN AND PRETTY. EVERYTHING WAS WELL ORGANIZED. PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO EAT ANY TIME NO NEED TO RUSH TO MAKE A CUTOFF TIME. I LOVED THE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY, ROCK CLIMBING, SKATING, BBALL GAME. LOTS TO DO.

The ship was elegant and well-taken care of.

The ship had modern decoration, was impeccable in appearance and cleanliness, room size was decent (for a cabin). It has multiple activities for the young and some for the old too.

THE OVER ALL EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT. THE ONE AND ONLY BAD PART OF THE EXCURSION WAS THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE BY INFORMATION PEOPLE. EX: NO ONE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROCEDURE WAS FOR GETTING PASSPORTS STAMPED. EVERBODY HAD DIFFERENT INFO. ALSO MY TICKETS WERE SENT TO THE WRONG CABIN. A PASSENGER FROM ANOTHER PART OF THE SHIP HAND DELIVERED THEM. THERE WERE OTHER THINGS, BUT I STILL LIKED THE CRUISE . THE SHIP ITSELF WAS GREAT!!!!

This was our second cruise and I was alittle disappointed with the overall experience of this cruise. Last year we were on the Grandeur of the sea and had a great time. I think it was a more relaxed atmosphere and the staff were a lot friendler. The staff on this ship, althought never rude, seemed to rushed trying to keep up with a much larger amount of passengers. I think our next cruise we will stay with the smaller ships.

THE SHIP AND STAFF WERE EXCEPTIONAL, FROM THE MOMENT I DROVE INTO THE PORT TO THE MOMENT I LEFT THE PORT. MY TRAVELLING COMPANION HAD RECENT KNEE SURGERY AND THUS WAS ON CRUCTHES, WHEN WE ARRIVED SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACE IN A WHEELCHAIR AND ASSISTED THROUGH THE ENTIRE BOARDING PROCESS. ON SHIP ALL STAFF WERE ATTENTIVE AND CONCERNED AS TO HER WELL BEING. IN ADDITION TO THE CRUISE AND THE STAFF, I MET THE MOST FRIENDLY PEOPLE ON THIS SHIP.

The ship was large. There was a lot of public space, but the cabins were very small.

Very nice ship, always a lot to do. The food was very good and we never had the slightest chance to go hungry! Also there were plenty of options for different food choices as well...buffet or sit down, snack or full meal, casual or formal. The staff was excellent overall; everyone we encountered was very nice and friendly. Though this was our first cruise, my husband didn't think the experience could have been better!

Could not have chosen a better ship or staff for my "first cruise" Truly a wondreful experience

The ship was awesome.. much more than I truly expected! And the staff service was unbelievable. They all made you feel so "Special "

Clean, large, and beautyful, ship great service.

Very large ship lots to do lots of walking.

A clean, orderly, well-run ship with a staff that was friendly, efficient, and professional.

THE SHIP WAS BIG AND BEAUTIFUL. HAD EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED AND MORE, HAIR DRYER, POOLS, DINNING ROOM WAS GREAT, SHOWS WERE BETTER EACH NIGHT. PEOPLE THAT WORKED ON THE SHIP COULDN'T BE NICER . IT WAS OVER TO FAST.

The ship was clean and comfortable.One of my suitcases was lost and entire cruise was inpacted by this.I was still able to enjoy the ship, but at a limited degree.The Captains Dinner etc. was not possible .I could not dress for the evenings.The pool was excluded also.

The ship was beautiful and the staff aimed to please. The food at the lunch buffet was not that good, but the restaurant was much better. Dinners were good, but not up to the standard we had on Voyager last year. Beef was of poor quality.

The ship was great. By the end of the first day I had a pretty good sense of the layout but I was still finding "new" places as late as the eighth day! There were some areas that showed some wear and tear (tattered carpet on stairs, etc) but they were constantly working on routine maintenance and even replaced all of our mattresses and bed frames while were onboard (and we saw them unload them from the ship to give to the residents of one of the poorer island communiities).

Excellent--It was clean and extremely large--quiet impressive!
