Customer reviews for Explorer of the Seas
Excellent service, great staff, good food in the dining room and select restaurants. Drinks package was excellent. Ship was spotlessly clean. Excursion to Santorini was a huge disappointment, not enough time to Oia and Fira.
Very enjoyable cruise. The food and service in the sapphire dining room was lovely but the buffet could have offered a bit more variety.
Thank you Planet Cruise for organising the extra night in Seattle - it certainly added to the whole experience. Loved the individual cars to take us to and from the hotel/ship etc just a shame we had to pay extra on arrival because of the huge delays in clearing American customs. As always the Royal Caribbean service was great on what was a fantastic itinery. This was our first holiday booked through Planet Cruise and it certainly all went very smoothly!
Great cruise
