OPEN/CLOSE REVIEW |

|
Client Review || Explorer Of The Seas
posted 2006-11-28 |
| CABIN CATEGORY: |
Originally we booked a balcony cabin, but were surprised to find we had been upgraded to a junior suite when we printed our Cruise documents two days prior to leaving. The suite was wonderful, especially the large, walk-in closet. The bed was very comfortable, and the new, upgraded linens added a luxurious touch. The balcony was quite roomy and private. In addition to the bed, there were two chairs and a small sofa that pulled out to a bed. Since it was just the two of us, there was more than enough room. We didn't even come close to using all the available storage.
|
| FOOD & SERVICE: |
The food and service were wonderful. We paid the small cover charge to eat at Johnny Rockets. While it was very good, I did find it somewhat irritating to pay a cover charge for burgers and fries. We looked at it as something you try once, but I probably wouldn't wait in line to do it again on a future cruise. We dined at Portofino's the night of our 25th anniversary. When we booked it they asked if it was for a special occasion. We told them it was our anniversary, and received a complimentary bottle of champagne. Unfortunately it didn't arrive until the end of the meal, so they offered to deliver it to our stateroom (which they did). The food was wonderful, as was the service. Both my husband and I found the food in the main dining room to be very good, but not quite at the level of the food we were served on Celebrity's Millennium the year before. Our one complaint is that there was only one option if you felt like nibbling on something around 5:00. We had the late seating, and would have liked something small about that time. The only option was on the Promenade, and that was limited to pastries and sometimes pizza. On Celebrity there was an area near the pool where food was available all the time.
|
| ENTERTAINMENT: |
The ice skating show was phenomenal. The ability and showmanship of the skaters was incredible – everyone we spoke with who had seen the show raved about it. The production show was entertaining, but again not quite as lavish as the ones we had seen on Celebrity. There was a comedian who performed at a late night show which everyone also raved about, but we didn't make it to his show.
|
| SHORE EXCURSIONS: |
Bermuda was breathtaking, definitely worth the trip. My husband did the Sport Fishing excursion. It was very expensive, but he had a good time. Unfortunately no one caught anything, although the guide did use the usual line that "you should have been here yesterday". The short duration of the cruise (5 nights) made it hard to see and do everything we would have liked. The ship is unbelievable – plenty to do and lots of options for all tastes. The promenade, which is similar to a mall encapsulated in this enormous ship, is a wonderful place to people-watch and browse the shops.

| SHORE EXCURSIONS: |
Labadie Island beach needs cleaning. Excessive debris that should be raked and removed in a daily basis.
|
| ONBOARD ACTIVITIES: |
Bingo is a little expensive
|
| CHILDRENS PROGRAM: |
We were not informed that this was a "KIDS" cruise or we never would have booked it! Too many kids!! (840)
|
| OVERALL IMPRESSION: |
There were no chairs available at the pools on many occasions. Ran out of pool towels.

If departing from Cape Liberty, NJ, be prepared for a lengthy disembarkation as all of the passengers and luggage must be shuttled to the terminal. It was a lovely cruise! |
