Creator's Key Takeaways

this is my second time on Explora and the first time I was in what they call a deluxe penthouse

this premier penthouse just to have that separation is wonderful cuz if one you know, one of the people in your room wants to sleep a little longer or step a little later, it's just it's just so perfect

I've been on you know, this is I think my 92nd cruise and I've been in a lot of rooms and this is definitely one of the nicer ones for sure

If it works for your budget wise, you won't be disappointed

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask for a Technogym bag if you're in a lower category room
