Creator's Key Takeaways

The level of service. Um so, Explorer Journeys, um level of service, you guys know it was exceptional. Exceptional. Food was exceptional. Everything was great about Explorer. The only complaint uh that I had about Explorer was the entertainment.

I have never had a butler. So that for me has been the most surprising part. And my butler is extremely thorough.

It is expensive. It is a luxury cruise... what I've been telling people is for a shorter cruise... you know, you could easily look at 10,000 plus for two people in an entry-level cabin.

Is this better than Explorer? I would say the entertainment is and I would say the service is, but everything else for me is better on Explorer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Try Explorer Journeys if you are new to luxury cruising and want a more affordable entry point.
✓If you are a solo cruiser, look for reduced solo supplement rates or last-minute segment sailings.
✓Communicate your service preferences to your butler early if you prefer more privacy.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Overwhelming service/Butler interaction — It's okay to tell the butler if you prefer less frequent check-ins or to handle things yourself.
Packing for formal nights — Dress code is enforced, but for Caribbean sailings it is slightly more relaxed. Pack dresses or dress pants.
Lack of daytime activities — Expect a quieter atmosphere focused on relaxation; you have to seek out entertainment.
