is a Voyager class cruise ship and she was laid down in 1998 and put into service in 2000. The
ship is over 138,000 gross tons and with a length of over 300 meters long she's a very large ship
there are multiple decks with lots of things to do on board. Number one: The show lounges.
Explorer of the Seas has multiple places for you to be entertained and perhaps the most impressive
is the Palace Theater this spans three decks but it's accessible from deck 3 and deck 2. You can
see here that it's got terraced seating and with unobstructed sight lines and a great view there
of the stage professional shipboard entertainers keep you entertained during the evenings. There's
a secondary lounge which is also quite large it's called the star lounge and it's found on deck 5.
Here you'll find smaller scale shows as well as a cabaret and comedy acts. The fact that the ship
has two separate show lounges means that there's plenty of space for people to choose a seat and
enjoy a different kind of entertainment depending on what's on each evening there are crew on hand
to offer drinks to you in both show lounges with a pre-show drink service commencing as soon as
passengers start to enter the lounge having the two show lounges means that there's plenty of
options for you for the evening's entertainment whilst during the day they can be utilized for
lectures as well as smaller shows recitals and other activities. Number Two: the Royal Promenade.
This is perhaps the most impressive feature of the ship it's a huge promenade that runs down the
center of the vessel the royal promenade is the main arcade that links the various different areas
of the ship it's also used as a central street which is the Royal Caribbean way of linking the
different passenger venues. Here you'll find shops bars restaurants and areas to sit as well as take
in the views which you can see from the images here is quite impressive the area culminates
with a central staircase that links the two decks of the promenade down to the atrium of the ship.
Number Three: Ice skating! When the Explorer of the Seas entered service in 2000 having an ice
skating rink on board was pretty unique. It is a feature of the Voyager class cruise ships and even
though today it's been overshadowed a bit by some of the larger cruise ships and their activities
it's still pretty cool to have an ice skating rink on board a cruise ship. It's a very large space it
has great lighting and a seat so you can watch the shows that are put on by professional ice skaters
but passengers can also try out their hand at ice skating, with classes for beginners
and an opportunity for those who are proficient at ice skating to show off their skills.
Number Four: the on deck activities. This ship has a vast amount of open deck space and it has
lots of activities for you to enjoy perhaps the most notable is the Flow-Rider which is a wave
simulator which you can use to try out your luck at surfing on various different waves from around
the world there's also multiple swimming pools there's whirlpools lots of places for you to sit
and sunbathe and a drink service on the deck to keep you refreshed during those hot summer cruises
the ship has a rock climbing wall it also has a basketball court and the ability to play tennis
out on deck as well there's plenty of open deck space for you to watch the ship come into and out
of ports so it's a popular area on board explorer of the seas. Number Five: the Dining! Like most
of the Royal Caribbean cruise ships the Explorer of the Seas has one grand dining room and this
one spans three decks it's called the sapphire dining room and it's a very impressive space
but there's also other dining venues onboard the ship there's a pub called the crown and
kettle which is found in the raw promenade there's also a Johnny Rockets hamburger bar and
there's plenty of options at the Windjammer Café which is the ship's alfresco dining
but the Sapphire Dining Room is the formal dining room it's where you'll probably get the most
attention at your table when you're eating on board Explorer of the Seas. Let me know if I've
missed anything or what you think about Explorer of the Seas and the Royal Caribbean experience.
