10/10 would go again. All of the staff were wonderful. Such a relaxing way to spend a honeymoon. So much entertainment and all the amazing places to eat and drink.

Sail date: /
Ship: Explorer of the Seas

The cruise was lovely the cabin was nice and the attendant was perfect. The actual problems were vroom was to slow to the point we couldn’t use an applications. The Cruise Director was a little confused and his staff didn’t conclude to direct the activities with an Aussie theme considering we were leaving from Australia. Great for the Americans but bad for the aussies. Halowheen was onboard but no bars etc were decorated just a couple of last min parties and a show... pathetic for a American cruise line.. Otherwise was good

Ship: Explorer of the Seas

Explorer of the seas from Sydney to Fiji and South Pacific was my 2nd cruise. It was a lot like voyager minus the dreamworks characters and a few other things. The ship and staff were amazing.

Sail date: /
Ship: Explorer of the Seas

The staff were great, especially at the coffee shop. So friendly and great drinks. The house band, Sound Waves are the best I have heard on a cruise and would be really happy to sail with them again. Great wait staff in the MDR. Very relaxing cruise I look forward to sailing RCL again.

Good......Not Great. by caboclarks

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Transpacific

We are glad to have have booked this cruise but found no need to return to any of the ports. The cruise ship was more of a booze cruise. They ran out of many alcoholic drinks a couple of days before the cruise was over.

Disappointed by Julie0911

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Transpacific

Having cruised before with other cruiselines, this was my first with RC and was left very disappointed. All activities and bars on the top deck closed at 9pm. There was no atmosphere on this cruise. Communication in the cruise compass was confusing in terms of attire and special nights. Very dissatisfied

Our first Transpacific cruise by asbroad

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Transpacific

This was a cruise to celebrate a couple of things in our lives: a key anniversary and a 'big' birthday. We enjoyed every single day that we were away from home.

Just arrived from a 22... by andr

Sail date: /
Ship: Explorer of the Seas

Just arrived from a 22 day cruise Seattle to Sydney. Wonderful cruise. Our stateroom attendant "Rolly" was outstanding (we were in 6670)! Our table waiters in the Sapphire, table 418, Gede (Agus) and Ikomang were absolutely super. Both are from Bali and we learned a lot from them. All 3 gentlemen gave superb service; very attentive and devoted to our wellbeing. Much respect to Rolly, Gede and Ikomang...their outstanding service made our cruise so perfect. As for the ship itself, its always been a great ship spacious and well kept. Royal Carribean again well done.

Unbelievable cruise experience by sgrasley

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Hawaii

An absolutely fantastic cruise experience followed by 6 wonderful days in Sydney. We thought cruising for 22 days would be too much but it went by quickly. It was outstanding.

The 22 night cruise on... by lornab

Sail date: /
Ship: Explorer of the Seas

The 22 night cruise on Explorer of the Seas was outstanding! I believe we'll be booking longer cruises from now on; always enjoyed our Cruises no matter the length, but this long one was really special. Lovely itinerary with just the right mix of Ports and sea days. The Cruise Compass is always filled with a great variety of activities and entertainment to satisfy everyone but on this Cruise we choose to primarily swim, read, walk and quietly relax. There is truly something for everyone. The Explorer is a clean, beautiful ship, and has great food, crew, and facilities.

Wonderful transpacific cruise by sjollymore

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Hawaii

We loved it and would definitely do it again. We always enjoy Royal Caribbean - the food, service, activities and entertainment. We had a few rough days on the ocean, but not that many.

Awesome cruise across the Pacific by Teeens

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Hawaii

Loved it and cannot wait to go again. First cruise. The ship was amazing. The staff were so friendly. Having auto immune issues and being immune supressed, I was wary of infection whilst away. Not a problem, the health safety on this ship and at port is outstanding. Best trip of a lifetime. Can't wait to do the next one

Fantastic crossing by ladypage

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Hawaii

The cruise was wonderful, the first few days were a bit rough so we were confined to our beds. Once we settled and were able to move around the onboard activities were great. Lots to keep you occupied on long sea days but not enough time spent in Hawaii.

Disappointment by wynnrose60

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Overall the vacation was okay I doubt that we will ever do a cruise again the Windjammer have their food was pretty good but some of it was over cook some of it was undercooked but that's the way it is with a buffet. Ice cream machine was broke 50% of the time we were there but when it was working it have very good ice cream and once again if we had known that they had electric wheelchair it would have been a lot easier for us to get around

Great Cruise Experience by scipoletta

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

The itinary was great. Areas I have always wanted to visit. The cruise staff and activities were great. Had to wait too long at the Casino for a machine, but I guess it saved me money. The food was not as good as on other ships in the main dining room, but not terrible. The service was good. Entertainment was good.

Wonderful ports!! Should be more of these cruises. by barb4travel

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

I love RCCL. I love ‘Voyager’ class ships. Explorer needs some big time cleaning work and every cruise itinerary should be treated equally. We truly felt like they were killing a week with us before their big 23 nite itinerary. PNW Cruises beats the heck out of repetitive Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas etc. There should be more of them year round. Central to Northern East Coast would work too. Many don’t need 90s and sun and beaches for cruising.

Great Pacific Coastal Adventure by NanaCruises

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Once again Royal Caribbean does not disappoint. The crew on this ship was exceptional. The entertainment was fun and the performers talented. I typically cruise to the Caribbean and totally enjoyed this departure from my norm. The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful area of our country with so many wonderful and interesting places to visit. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I’ll definitely be returning.
