Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent 10 nights on board the Explorer of the Seas for a Southern Caribbean cruise.

They had prominade seating and seats inside as well, where there was usually a live performer each night.

We finally decided to dine here because we had an onboard credit to use and the portion sizes were massive.

The course is first come, first served and is a fun activity for passengers of any age.
