Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm definitely plotting my way on getting back on Explora.
The food was definitely better than Virgin Voyages food.
I highly recommend Explora Journeys. I think everybody who's a serious cruiser should give it a try.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Try to get to Fil Rouge for a sit-down lunch on boarding day to avoid the chaotic buffet.
✓Be mindful that San Juan cruise port can have traffic, but it can also be very nice.
✓If you're a solo traveler, arrive early (around 9:00-9:30 AM) to secure a good lounge chair by the pool.
