Explorer of the Seas

4.4 (194)
Royal Caribbean
Explorer of the Seas

When it relaunches from Rome in May 2020, Explorer of the Seas will become the fourth in Royal Caribbean's Voyager Series to have completed the Royal Amplified transformation, which is essentially refurbishment on steroids. After receiving the Royal Amplified treatment, the ship will boast the latest technology, including the fastest internet at sea, reimagined cuisine that competes with the best restaurants on land, and thrilling new activities like the Perfect Storm waterslide duo. Every update to the ship was made with the modern traveler in mind, and there's no doubt that the designers had an eye toward maximizing the number of Instagrammable moments aboard ship.

In addition to the dazzling array of entertainment options, this floating resort boasts a range of luxurious accommodations, ensuring that there is something to suit every cruiser. Extended families or large groups can book connecting staterooms for increased togetherness and flexibility, and those traveling with babies can request a crib and other baby supplies. Spa Staterooms offer the perfect retreat from all of the onboard excitement and come with priority booking and special discounts in the spa. Regardless of the stateroom you book, you will enjoy 24-hour room service, daily housekeeping, and a nightly turndown service. When you're ready to leave the comfort of your room, you'll find that all of the staff members aboard ship will go the extra mile to ensure that you have the cruise vacation of a lifetime.

Dining

In an effort to satisfy the needs and desires of the modern cruiser, Explorer of the Seas has expanded the dining options aboard ship and revamped some of its signature restaurants. In addition to the classic Giovanni's Table, you'll find the more casual, slightly less fussy Giovanni's Italian Kitchen. Think more hand-tossed pizzas and charcuterie, fewer elaborate pasta dishes. Keeping with the fun, laidback vibe is Playmakers Bar & Arcade, which is the place to go to watch a game, try a craft beer tasting flight, and chow down on some wings. If you want to get a peek behind the scenes while enjoying some bubbles, sign up for the two and a half hour Sip, Tour, Brunch program where you'll get to tour the galley with the chef before enjoying a delicious meal and unlimited sparkling wine.

This was an older ship that just came out of being docked since covid I think, and it was due for a remodel but it didn’t happen before the sailing. We were not as upset because we got a great last minute deal on an ocean balcony, but there were other passengers that were expecting more. The itinerary was great. The 2 hour drive from Venice to the pet was a bit of a surprise but we had great transportation arranged through Avoya. The worst part that became a nightmare was the app that created an issue with everything we booked on it - the drink package, the wifi packages and the tours were al
