Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Royal Caribbean has the best loyalty program in the cruise industry. The Concierge Club is in an area inside the ship without windows which is not ideal but the bar staff was excellent! The Windjammer crew was right on spot, cleaning and organizing.

Our cruise was amazing! The ship was great. The staff was nice, the food was AMAZING at the specialty restaurants. Glad we purchased the unlimited dining package, deluxe drinking package and photo package. Only downside was we could’ve had some better entertainment. Other than that we had a great time!

With the MLK holiday, the 5 day cruise was popular with families. I heard that we had about 800 kids on board. As well, the 5 day tends to be a booze cruise. It was the first time I've seen a beer ordered in the Windjammer at breakfast. Overall it was noisier than we'd prefer. Having said that, it was a great time.

Cruise ship and islands were great. Seas were rough all week.

Had Deluxe drink package - dining room staff kept trying to tell us Evian wasn’t included when it clearly states it is. It was an issue every night

Lots of days at sea and we loved that. We now are in love with Bonaire and would return in a heart beat. We hate well, met great people and felt that the atmosphere on the ship was very nice. The crew seemed to know what they were doing and habe fun doing it.

RCCL has decided to not have overflow for their Diamond Lounge and that applies to ALL ships ALL the time from now forward. Can you imagine a crossing where there are1000-1200 Diamond and Diamond Plus trying to get into a 40-50 person lounge? I think its time for the "Loyal to Royal" crowd to get payback of "Royal to Loyal". This shop had a very large line at the counter getting drinks and carrying them out to the SkyLounge. We need to protest highly, tell everyone!

Overall very nice cruise, ship was very clean and well maintained. Food in MDR was awesome

Enjoyed 9 days. Lots of sea days so lots of board and card games. High winds closed off 12th deck for a couple of days

Our first trip on RC and to the ABC islands. Would definitely do this again!

The boat was pretty and there was a lot of things to do on it. The food was so delicious. It was a great experiences.

It was a long cruise!! Bring your own chips/ snacks!!! Get the pop/ virgin drink package!!! Do not eat in the main dining room!! There are only 2 formal nights in main dining, dress how you want any time!! Don’t over pack on clothes, you will be in you bathing suit most of the time!! I never wore my tennis shoes. At the ports we bought t shirts at each one and I would wear that shirt the next day. One outfit per day is plenty!! BRING SNORKEL GEAR. BRING BATTERIES TO CHANGE DEVICES. Buy an waterproof camera, it’s worth it!! Bring a shirt to swim in, lots of people got burned. Don’t spend money at the restraint on the cruise ship, they all taste the same.

Overall very good, everything you would expect from a cruise. New Year’s Eve was great. Negatives were, Tad rocky on the sea day from Miami day 2, and getting off was a bit of a nightmare as the bags were on the wrong conveyer belt. The kids didn’t like the club on this ship they are 9 and 10 but loved it last cruise.

We did allot of lounging on this cruise. So as long as we had a chair and a view we were happy.

Christmas cruise was very relaxing the weather was not good

This was our first time on the Explorer of the Seas She was great !

Good cruise. I would like to try a seven night next time

Excellent cruise except for weather wish it wasn’t raining the whole time

Unfortunately, it was rainy 4 out of 5 days. Would have been more fun if it had been sunny but RC cannot be blamed for the weather.

Not sure we would book a cruise with Royal Caribbean... compare to a previous cruise with Carnival... we enjoyed that cruise line better.
