I took a 12 night eastern caribbean cruise on the explorer. I went with my stepmother, stepsister (19) and myself (20). We shared an interior stateroom, that had two twin bed and a third that came down from the ceiling. We were all happy about the comfort of the beds its not home but its not a hotel. The room also had plenty of storage for all of our clothes, and there was alot. The safe held a video camera, two digital cameras, passports/documents, several jewlery boxes, and three wallets, and we probably could have stuffed more into it. The room was always clean. The whole ship for that matter was clean even the public restrooms! On to the most important part...The FOOD! I was never disappointed with the food. There were things that I did not like but that was just me trying new things nothing to do with the food itself. When I didnt like something the waiter was more then happy to bring me something new.My favorite dinners were the lobster night and the alternative chicken. The food is the best in the dinning room but Johnny Rockets and the Windjammer were not bad. The service was unbelievable I felt like a celebrity. The enterainment went beyond my expectation, it was more professional then I thought it would be. My favorite was the ice show, a must see but get your tickets early! (they are free). I also got my first massage on the cruise and although I have nothing to compare it to it was well worth the money. I have never felt more relaxed then I did after that massage. I never had to wait very long to get on an elevator, but on the days at port it is much quicker to take the stairs. The only thing that dissapionted me was the fact that it cost $30 to play BINGO!!! $75 if you play the jackpot bingo at the end of the cruise. I enjoy bingo but on a vacation there were other things I wanted to spend money on. I loved it so much that I booked a 10 night cruise on this ship with friends!!! P.S. Through my observation the staff was great with children however when there was a young child around being loud some passengers would get upset, and I'm sure those parents got some bad looks.
