Join us as we sail aboard Explorer of the Seas, a mid-sized gem in Royal Caribbean’s Voyager Class! In this detailed review, we break down everything we loved—and a few things we think could be better—on this beautiful ship during our recent cruise adventure. Whether you’re planning your first cruise or are a seasoned Diamond member, you’ll get valuable insights on board. 🎉 What We Loved: The Royal Promenade brings big-ship vibes to a mid-size ship Clean and spacious layout, never felt overcrowded Diamond Lounge with rare outdoor seating—a great perk! Explorer’s size means it can visit ports that mega-ships can’t Our Junior Suite was perfect for a long sailing—bathtub, extra service, and even two desks for working remotely! Casino Highlights: Slot variety + fantastic crew—special shoutout to Franco! Live Entertainment is top-tier: incredible orchestra, headliners, and a spectacular ice show Unique transatlantic extras like Q&As, parades, and talent shows 🛑 A Few Things to Note: The Library opens to the Promenade, so it’s not the quietest space to relax Balcony cabins on early Voyager-class ships feel more enclosed The casino bar service was slow compared to other Royal ships like Enchantment The backstage tour was overcrowded and less organized than expected This cruise had so many memorable moments—from Crystal’s birthday surprise to relaxing at sea while getting work done from our stateroom.
