Explorer of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Tips

The breakfast in the dining room was excellent. We went there the last 2 days...wish we had done it sooner.

Don't buy drink passes till you get on the ship, you can buy them daily for the same price and be aware the ship will run out of bottled water but you can bring it on at each port. Free sandwiches muffins brownies and pizza along with free water and iced tea on deck 5,very good service and food.

Must attend the entertainment and game show. Besides, have great fund on Deck 5.

Catch her this year before she moves south and the prices go up to sail the Quantum.

If you are able to do self deboarding, do it. We were at our cars by 8:15 am

OK - for you women who love to work out..... get ready in the nice big showers. The spa is roomy, clean and the service was wonderful....loved my work outs

Don't get in a hurry to buy gifts or extra services (spa, upgraded dining, etc.) Each night you will get a sheet outlining the next day's activities that will have specials - like half price spa day! Significant savings.

The virtual balcony rooms make the room seem much larger than it really is. It’s worth the few extra dollars.

Go to the shows, Dizzy's lounge, My time dining.

For the 3 most comfortable seats on the ship, go to the Cloud 9 lounge.

Do not travel to Bermuda in April. Wait until May/June for nicer weather...wore warm clothes the whole trip!

Go to the windjammer café for breakfast and lunch. It's a buffett style set-up. They always have plenty to choose from, ample seating and excellent service.

Visit the Stairway of the Stars in the forward stairwell. It's all pop music memorabilia.

We really liked that we could get a drink, cup of coffee or snack any time at the Promenade Café.

Enjoyed the pool area and shows every night, don't miss them.

get all of the appetizers from the beginning

There are more spots to eat in Labadee don't go to the first one at the entrance; over crowded.

For the health minded, They have a well equipped gym and a knowledgeable staff.

Plan on using the stairs as time spent waiting for an elevator will ruin your trip

We had Anytime Dining and went at about 7:30 with no reservations for two. Usually were seated immediately.
