Explorer of the Seas Review

Additional details
This was the first cruise for our multi generational family group of 6, ranging in age from 10-70. We all had a great time!
We stayed overnight in Seattle the night before the cruise and had about half a day to explore. Not nearly enough time in that city, but we hit a couple highlights at Pike Center Market and Seattle Center.
Boarding the ship was an experience in itself! It's amazing to witness the controlled chaos of getting so many people on board. Everyone we encountered in the boarding process was friendly and helpful and it didn't take long before we were on the ship.
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
We had booked a junior suite and were very glad we did. The room was even more spacious than expected! The big walk in closet was great for storing our suitcases and for all our hanging clothes. We had more than enough hangers in the closet. There were lots of drawers and cupboards for the rest of our things. The bathroom was laid out very nicely and all needed bath amenities provided (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, etc). The bath towels were large and soft. The bathtub/shower was great! We appreciated the coffee maker and water kettle and also the small refrigerator. And we loved having the spacious balcony and used it often during the trip. The bed was very comfortable with very nice linens.
