Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Good cruise but Alaskan ports are too focused on selling souvenirs. They should focus on travelling experience instead.

Enjoyed this cruise very much. Everyone who worked on this cruise from room attendant to the maitra'd were superb! Loved Chops Grill and Johnny Rocket's. I highly recommend this ship, this cruise and cruiseline.com

We all were enjoyed very much on the Alaska Cruise Trip.!

I had two pieces of luggage torn up by the cruise line. One had the handle cut or ripped off, the other had the frame busted loose from the fabric. Both had to be discarded. Among other things, this is my last cruise.

It was a great trip. Nothing disappointed! We will talk about how much fun we had on Explorer of the Seas and the ports of call for the rest of our lives. One in our party was very nervous about cruising - after this trip she's hooked on cruising.

Enjoy the cruise food was good MDR service was excellent.

Alaska was awesome and I highly recommend that you go once in your lifetime. Royal Caribbean was a good value and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Very satisfying cruise to Alaska on one or our favorite Class (Voyager) ships. Overall a very typical RCCL cruise with a few very minor flaws.

This is my first cruise with Royal Caribbean, Explorer of the Sea. Me and my husband will be sailing the Carnival cruiseline for now on. The food with Royal Caribbean is the same everyday at the Windjammer, the fun on this cruise ship is for an older crowd, nothing for kids if you bring your grandkids. The shuttles to downtown has a cost, not like Carnival which is free. To many hidden cost. No mid- night snacks places like the Carnival sandwiches, pizzas, etc. If you sick, you cannot see a doctor without paying $100 up front. More than half the passengers are older on budget, this don't make sense. The only positive was our cabin, we got a suite very roomy and comfortable. Carnival my family and I will see you soon for my granddaughter graduation cruise.

We travelled as a large group (4 generations). I feel like there was something for everyone and it was great way to take a family vacation.

This was our 2nd time to Alaska with Royal and it was everything I remember and expected. The weather was great with no rain and temps near 70 every day. We will probably do it again in a few years.

this was my first cruise. Not sure if the cruising part is for us. We found some of the activities boring and spent more of our time in our room enjoying the view. my children ages 22, 21, and 17 did seem to find plenty of things to enjoy. It felt that there was quite a bit of push to spend extra money. such as drink packages, art work, next cruise or stores in the promenade. We really enjoyed the ports much more. If we do cruise again we will likely pick a ship that has more ports of call and time in port to enjoy different areas of the world.

Our cruise was absolutely incredible. The excellent weather help make it even better.

We had a blast on this cruise! The only real negative was the kids program and that would probably be why we won’t cruise again for a while. Otherwise, everything was awesome- including our port day excursions!

Our first 48 hours at sea, the seas were rough. But after that, "smooth" sailing! We did have a lot of fog, so no evening star watching. The ship was clean, but is showing her age.(we had paint chips on our balcony from peeling paint), but our cabin was very clean.

The cruise was magnificent. Perfect weather! We were very happy with the excursions we had planned, Juneau - Whale Watching and lunch at Orca Point Lodge, Skagway - White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, Victoria BC - Butchart Gardens. Only regret - we didn't have time to explore Juneau as our excursion was all day.

Had a great time, without kids, enjoying time with my husband and 3 other couples.

This was our first cruise experience and we enjoyed it so much, we booked another while on the ship!

This was our fourth cruise and our third one with Royal Caribbean. I’m so disappointed that I have to give them a low rating but this cruise just didn’t live up to their reputation or expectations. We ordered room service for breakfast and never received it or a call to explain why we didn’t get it. Every time we tried to make dinner reservations for the dinning room they were booked up and told us to check back. Our room was not cleaned, dirty dishes and drink glasses were left in there until we removed them. We accidentally tried to go through the teen room to keep from getting wet from the rain and got yelled at by the staff which was quite embarrassing. On a positive note, the ports and scenery was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking!!

This was good if you were just interested in the ports and a comfortable ship. The entertainment was lacking and the food was sub par.
