Customer reviews for Explorer of the Seas
Absolutely breathtaking, from the wonderful tenth floor balcony cabin with perfect views, right through to the attention to detail by every single member of the crew! Every morning welcomed by singing at the buffet renditions of the Beatles "please wash your hands" is still sung in our house. The entertainment was fabulous and and we became art collectors, following the auction. Thank you so much everyone it was superb.
Meals were very good. Catered for everyone. Check in was very smooth and fast. Cabins were kept very clean . Thank you Mario
Great for families with different age groups. better available for couples. My time dining was not my time as you still had to book a time slot and all the popular time slots had gone if you didnt get in early. Therefore NOT my time. However staff very friendly, cabin clean and comfortable and ice show was spectacular
Second cruise with Explorer of the sea’s. We felt service was slow for drinks around the pool. And food in the restaurant was very average
