Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

If I had been only on this cruise, I would have been greatly disappointed with 9 days at sea and only one port (St. Maarten).

Very relaxing, plenty to do, staff all very helpful & polite .

Our ship was caught in the Atlantic Ocean avoiding four storms and arrived in Southampton 4 days late which meant our cruise was cut short and only visited one port which we already visited earlier this year. Consequently we cancelled our cruise and will be going on another one at some time around May next year with Royal Caribbean who have given us our full credit for another cruise

The 35' waves in the North Atlantic Ocean caused a 3 day delay of the Explorer getting into Southampton, which shortened our cruise from 14 to 11 days. We also lost all of our ports and went to only one different island instead. Royal Caribbean was not legally obligated to do anything for us, but they went out of their way to provide a lot of extra benefits to guests to help make up for this. They kept their guests safe and were super awesome to us all in our opinion. Overall, we made the best of it and staff was terrific, food was exceptional and we had an absolute blast! Thank you to Royal Caribbean for being so very awesome under some very difficult circumstances which could not be controlled by anyone, except the "Weather God"!

We had three days added to the itinerary due to bad weather and storms. We were directed to 2 x new ports which by all accounts were an improvement on the two that were planned. RCI made sure our safety was utmost and in doing so, added to the experience.

we learnt not to let them put you on front of the ship because in bad weather you won't sleep and not sail over the Bay of Biscay in October / November time

Good cruise bits of the ship need updates But overall good time had

Ship is fine needs an upgrade.Drink very expensive,shops expensive can buy things cheaper at home.Entertaiment was average.

Wonder-full experience Would highly recommend. Cruising is the way to go

It was worth every minute and penny spent. Very port intensive ... do your research on each port before so as you make the most of every port and every day

Amazing holiday, ship bit older but was spotless clean, staff friendly, helpful , room attendant amazing, food very nice - steaks from Chops grill absolutely fantastic, plenty food cakes in Windjamner

Great ship with a good atmosphere and Cruise director Chlo is very good. Enjoyed Dizzys nightclub. Too Notch band are so good and engage with crowd.Would be great to see more seating in smaller bars.

Do not book with Royal Caribbean. I promise you will thank me!

Very enjoyable experience on a lovely but tired ship.

Not overall impresses after 3 cancelled stops on this cruise due to apparent hurricane ??? Which we never saw

Explorer of the Seas offers high quality food and entertainment. The ship is stylish and comfortable, it is having a major refurbishment in 2020 which add even more facilities onboard. The itinerary change due to poor weather wasn’t brilliant but understandable. One of the best cruises I’ve had to date

Very enjoyable trip would do again lots to do and to see.

the cruise not bad been on better drinks package not what I expected did not receive what I paid for and was told they had on board and they didn't would not buy it again on royalCaribbean

Very disappointing missed 2 stops and ended up in le harve.might just as well gone to Southampton

Not the best cruise I have been on. Ship very tired and ready for its re vamp. Missed two ports due to weather that never hit us and ended up having to spend two days in Le Harve which is a dreadful port.
