Sail Date: Nov 2014
Cabin: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

The Bayonne terminal was a bit of a nightmare; hopefully the new one is up and running when March rolls around. All of the crew and staff were great you cannot say enough about them.

We know Explorer is headed for a refit, but they may have delayed it too long. Our balcony needed a paint job, something I have never seen on a Royal ship before. We had a large balcony so it fit a couple of chairs and a couple of lounges, but none of them could be called pristine.

On the upper deck one of the hot tubs had a canopy held down with rope; come on folks this is not a major repair. When you looked at some of the decking and steps around the pools they are showing their age

I did not realize my balcony was 15 feet from the back of the ship or that the rear balconies get very little breeze.
