Royal Caribbean's Explorer Of The Seas! The Good And The Bad! Our Full Review!

Check out our other channel: @MedlingWorldTryingThings **Pros and Cons of Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas (Voyager Class, built 2000)** **Pros:** - **Great value and family-friendly**: Often more affordable than newer ships. Excellent for families with kids/teens programs, ice skating shows, rock climbing wall, FlowRider surf simulator, mini-golf, sports court, and pools. - **Iconic design**: The Royal Promenade is lively with parades, shops, and cafés — feels energetic without being overwhelming like mega-ships. - **Solid activities**: Ice rink (unique at sea), waterslides (on some sailings), multiple pools/whirlpools, and entertainment options. Easy to navigate layout. - **Good service and food**: Many reviews praise friendly crew, tasty casual dining (e.g., Promenade Café pizza), and main dining. Holds up well for its age after maintenance. - **Strong for first-timers/budget cruisers**: Plenty to do; doesn't feel outdated immediately. Itineraries (e.g., Caribbean, transatlantic) often shine. **Cons:** - **Shows its age**: Older décor in spots, some wear (though maintained). No major recent refurb like some sisters; lacks newer thrills (e.g., no zip line, Ultimate Abyss on this one). - **Crowding and motion**: High capacity (up to ~3,900 passengers) means lines at popular spots. Can feel rougher in seas due to size/age. - **Mixed food/service feedback**: MDR can be inconsistent (cold food, slower service on some sailings); fewer specialty options than newer ships. - **Limited "wow" factor**: Outclassed by Oasis/Icon class ships in scale and innovation. Some areas (cabins, theater) feel dated. **Bottom line**: A fun, classic "fun ship" ideal for value-focused families or first-timers who prioritize itinerary and activities over luxury/modern amenities. Many love it despite the age; others prefer newer vessels. #royalcaribbean Please feel free to contact us!
