Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It’s was a wonderful cruise I will recommend my friends and family to go for this enjoyable trip, the excellent service.

We always have a good time with RC. We met all kinds of people we never would have met and enjoyed sharing experiences and company. Memorable staff that made our experience special.

Excellent overall Employees are great Janice in the dining hall was great

I had an overall a great time on my first-ever cruise! Would definitely recommend not only going on a cruise but using to book it!

As a first time cruiser 6 days was just right. I needed to disconnect and this experience allowed for just that. I would have like to spend more time in Jamaica and Haiti to really take in the culture and the people but I understand the constraints due to sailing. I would utilize Royal Caribbean again for my sailing vacations.

Unless you are traveling on a newer ship their are better options to select from. Crew & Service were great.

I loved the check in and out. Very quick and organized. I wish the ship would have been more hyped in terms of providing more excitement. The casino was small and uninviting. The places we visited where the cruise stopped at were absolutely lovely, fun and perfect! The excursion to the Good Hope place in Jamaica was a great experience and super fun! We are planning to go again with Royal (different ship) next year but hope to find a better casino, more fun at the main deck and taste delicious food/desserts if we choose table service. Thank you.

Cruise was good. Going back this Sunday for back to back. Wish it was a newer ship & better entertainment.

I highly recommend this cruise. Particularly if you enjoy sea days - there were 4 full days at sea. Very relaxing; yet tons of activity options, if desired. Staff was amazing.

Overall it is clear the cruise industry has missed us. It should continue to get better with each sailing and the further away from COVID we get.

Very nice cruise overall. More activities for all for the 2 day at sea.

The ship is small and so are the pools on board. The ports aren’t really that interesting. In Falmouth, Jamaica you don’t have much to do unless you take a tour and most places are far away so expect a long ride. Overall pleasant experience since we were a group of friends, but would’ve been bored if I went just with my husband.

As a first time cruiser, I had asked many experienced cruisers for what to expect. All said RC was the way to go. It was not, and in fact the people I traveled with (who were Platinum RC cruisers) told me several times that this cruise did not match the quality of experience they'd had previously.

I think I’ve been spoiled by your sister line Celebrity-also a little too full for my taste and too many children.

Good cruise for the amount it cost. We did it on the Royal Caribbean "Explorer of the Seas", we would recommend you book a different newer ship as this one is dated and design is not optimal. Having the main pool broken out into 2 pools was not a great design and contributed to overcrowding.

Definitely become a loyal member of Royal Caribbean.

Lack of activity. Ship need renovation. Staff fabulous.

The staff and service were professional, friendly, and excellent. overall, it was a very good cruise experience.

We had a very bad experience with an excursion on grand cayman that was a total disaster from start to finish. Got off the ship late due to royal giving wrong stickers to us. 5.5 hour trip was cut short and didn't have time to do most of the activities we hoped to do on this trip

Overall this was a great cruise on a great ship with a fantastic crew. But I will avoid Royal Caribbean in the future unless or until they are able to be fully staffed. Royal Caribbean really failed in this regard. Also, the Internet was very unreliable. I think the Voom package is worthless and would not purchase it again.
