Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Not happy with casino I tried to win some money to give for my friend's birthday the machines take a long time to get a bonus spin and when you finally get bonus you get NOTHING

We really enjoyed the food, service and entertainment on this ship. The ice snow was really lovely. The ports of call were just wonderful. The problems we had were the same as always and never could find a seat at any pool area even at 9am due to people saving them and not actually using them. Nothing is ever done about this. We enjoy trivia and even if you get there a half hour early there’s no where to sit. Many people stand to play. They should have the trivia in more than one venue at a time. Overall it was a nice cruise but I am getting weary of crowds and not being able to use the amenities every time we are at sea.

Food was mediocre, basically same dishes every day in buffet for lunch, not much better for dinner, staff not very attentive, open area deck to deck does not flow very well.

I will not cruise with royal Caribbean again because of the food experience

I have cruised several times with Royal Caribbean this experience on The Explorer of the seas was horrible the hospitality was horrible.

Overall cruise was good. Total of 4 days at sea and felt it was too many days at sea. Would choose a different itinerary next time with maybe longer times in ports. Price of drinks very, very expensive. Still cheaper than buying the drink package.

Perfect time to cruise very few kids and great destinations!

Great cruise, we are platinum sailors, and will be back on the new ICON! Looks like the real deal in 2024!

This was a really great experience and everything was well planned from entertainment to food, excursions to services.

Great cruise! Wonderful excursions.! Replaced my damaged luggage promptly!

Overall we enjoyed the Explorer of the Seas and really loved the Southern Caribbean itinerary.

Fun, activetis, shows and the best compliments goes to the director of the explorer of the see, Aysy, she was involved in everything and anything.

Just came back from Norweigen cruise...Royal Carib. beat them nine ways to sunday...

Had a wonderful time on this cruise. Staff was very friendly and willing to help. The ice show was excellent. The shows in the Palace Theatre were average. Would go on this ship again.

We had a great time. We really couldn't be happier with the experience, and we'll definitely consider cruising with Royal Caribbean in the future.

dont come on this ship expecting to be "wowed". she is older and shows her age. good for relaxing. you get what you pay for.

Our overall cruise experience was good, we had some hiccup with duty free (alcohol section, they messed up our order, yet we were compensated fairly), the workers were amazing. We didn't took advantage of paying our gratuities early (with a discount) because we know how important gratuities for the crew. We hope the rest of travelers/cruisers would know this. we hope Royal's discount on gratuities for early payment, would not take away directly from the workers.

Enjoyed relaxing on this cruise which is why I went. Met several great friend for life. 2 of the port were canceled before the cruise started. Ship is old.

Great cruise and staff was exceptional. Didn’t care much for the older ship but the service made up for any shortfall. Dining room supervisor Alana Sewell went above and beyond her duty to ensure excellence. Kudos to her.

A wonderful experience and had fun and for our 45th Anniversary we were very pleased.
