Overview
A cruise is a great opportunity to try out new things, and Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas has set herself apart by giving you lots of things to test out and “explore.” For instance, take a chance at dinner and order an appetizer you’ve never thought of ordering before.
Want a new challenge? Try rock climbing or ice skating aboard the ship. And after all the exploring, relax at one of the Explorer of the Seas’ four pools or six whirlpools, and treat yourself to a scoop of ice cream from the onboard Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream shop.

Our trip required a lot of planning for my family to make it work, so I started looking 3 years in advance. I was booked on another cruise line that cancelled our trip, so I went back to Royal. I am SO GLAD that it all worked out that way! I truly enjoyed our family adventure and the staff on the Explorer added so much to our experience. I highly recommend Royal Caribbean!
Pros: Excellent staff, great sit down dining, lots of options for activities
Cons: The itinerary was not available when I first started looking.
