Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This ship was starting to show her age. Different cruising in Alaska then warm weather climates. Alaska was beautiful but will do from car next time. Seen whales, bears and moose from boat. Was really neat to see.

Found this shio great but needed some updating. Loved the virtual balcony in our room. Loved the rock climbing and the flo rider. Food was fantastic and staff friendly abd the uce skating show was fantastic

From the minute I went on board the explorer I was excited and it was something out of this world it was my first ever cruise and I was blown away. It made it even better experiencing all this with my cousin who was on radiance 2 months beforehand. The staff were all so welcoming and they were just amazing people. The food was 5 star quality at the windjammer and the main dining too. The entertainment was amazing. I always had something to do. The captain kept us informed on us staying at Dunedan overnight then having to miss a port. I rather miss a port. It was understandable we had to stay there. Even when docked the ship was swaying that night so I don't want to even think what it would have been like if we had left in that storm. Overall I had the best time on this cruise.

Explorer had many quirky adventures for the fit. Rock wall, wave surfer etc. Ideal for families. Food & service were very good. The headliner shows were excellent & accessible, some ships one needs to be in theatre 1-2hrs before showtime for a seat. Not here, it was easy to combine dining and a show without stress. One irritating point was dis/embarkation. The degree of difficulty for get on/off at ports around the islands put me off a couple of trips. The queues were lengthy & slow for tenders. If you are fit & strong all is OK. If you are less than 100% confident (recuperating from health condition) take note of tender pots.

A lovely wee 4 day cruise around the outskirts of Sydney. Beautiful ship and had a lovely chilled out time.

3rd time on Explorer. Great ship and enjoyed heading out to the islands in Noumea. On for NYE and Christmas was fantastic.I love RCI and will definitely be doing another cruise with them. I love their ships and the specialty dinnning is so good.

They are an amazing company and the staff are amazing people. The entertainment is amazing the studio B is amazing as well as the theater. And the promenade is amazing and so vibrant.

Ten with 5 sea days in a row, all went and past too Quickly. 

We loved the experience of being on the Explorer with Ice Shows and the wave rider outdoor movies and Specialty Restaurants. 

Lovely ship. Great friendly staff, very helpful. This was an amazing Suez Canal Cruise. Very memorable. Couldn’t go into Jerusalem because of trouble but the ship more than made up because of this.

Super Excellent Amazing trip. The tours were very good. The dinner was amazing. The service on the dinner. I I like how the rooms were decorating. The towels on the bed every day with another animal decorating.

We have cruised more than 25 times and this was one of the best cruises we have ever taken.  The crew on the ship made us very comfortable: wonderful wait staff, a dynamic and very personable cruise director, a captain that was caring, approachable and funny (you had to see him drive the zamboni as well as sing a song at the welcome back functions).

The ports were wonderful and very well selected. Wish we had more time in Malaga and Seville - but at least we got a taste of these ports.

This was the first ship I ever cruised on, loved every minute of it. The food was incredible and there was loads of activities to go to. The staff were amazing!

The food the entertainment the staff the room were Great

Wonderful experience highly recommend this cruise. Royal Caribbean explorer of the seas is a super ship.

I have done a few cruises on Voyager Class ship and every time I love it. The ship is a good size, with plenty to do. Our cabin was a good size, but it was just me and another person. I would highly recommend Explorer of the Seas. Fantastic ship

Great ship, fantastic crew who all work so very hard. Didn't find the extra cabins to be a problem. Always found a seat, even if I had to pinch a couple from the casino when in the schooner, but still no problem. Always found a seat in the windjammer, and the food and service in the MDR was brilliant. Don't like stem to the negatives, find a positive and go with it.

This was our first cruise and it got us hooked it was the best holiday we had had .everything was great service staff entertainment you name it it was great

It was a long way from home, but I will go back. This cruise was the best of all I have taken.

Great ports of call. Enjoyed all the excursions very much.
