- Would you like to note some more short remarks about the ship Explorer of the Seas?
- Staff work hard and are very friendly. Ship's overall appearance good except for our cabin unfortunately.
Tendering in Kotor was a mess. It took over 3 hours before we were allowed to go on land with the queues. Extremely slow and we were there before on a smaller rcl ship and no issues?
- How well was the embarkation/disembarkation organized?
- How would you rate the extra expenses on board (5 = very affordable, 1 = very high)
- How would you rate the cruise line's shore excursions in terms of quality and value for money?
- Comments about Royal Caribbean
- RCl cut backs are very noticeable and I feel the loyal customers to Royal including myself will look elsewhere if it continues. The cabin service cut back to once a day is fine by me. It's the food in the MDR is cut back and portions are noticeably smaller. Old bed lines in cabin make it feel like a 2 star hotel. Not good at all.
- This was the first cruise that I booked over the internet:
- no
- How satisfied are you with your travel agency seascanner.com?
- Comments about the service of seascanner.com
- I have booked 6-7 cruises with seascanner because they are good value. I am concerned about RCL giving Seascanner customers the worst available cabins? Is it due to price?
“ Very enjoyable cruise but some cut backs and old cabin need to be addressed. ”

Dear customer, thank you very much for your review. If you book a guaranteed cabin, the allocation will be carried out fully automatically at random from all cabins that are still available on the day of allocation. By this day, many customers have of course already chosen their dream cabins. For this reason, if you choose a guaranteed cabin, there is a high probability that the cabin you are assigned will not be ideal. Unfortunately, the cheaper travel price also comes with restrictions. We therefore recommend that you choose your dream cabin next time. It's a little more expensive, but at least everything is the way you want and imagine. You have Questions or Wishes?

Ship overall:
- It was great experience
- A very comfortable ship with a nice old-fashioned feeling
- Entertainment we found boring and totally inadequate. $39 and upwards for bingo was absolutely ridiculous The shops on the promenade sold rubbish and totally over priced. The ship overall looks tired and does not have any wow factor at all!
Cruise in one sentence:
- It was amazing cruise
- Older, Royal Caribbean cruise ship maintained to a high standard, and still a pleasure to Cruise on
- A very pleasant experience with no problems
- Very disappointed with our overall cruise experience. First time to travel with Royal Caribbean.
