Guest Review of Explorer of the Seas Cabin

Cabin Score
85
out of 100
reviewed by Tim R. of San Marcos, United States
Cruise Date:9/21/2019
Review Submitted:10/6/2019
Passengers in Cabin:2 Passengers
Past Cruise Experience:2-5 Cruises
Cruise Length:11-20 Days
Overall Room Condition Impressions Spotless. Everything is in top shape and feels very clean
Would You Book This Same Cabin Again? Absolutely! It's a great cabin.
Noise In Cabin A little noise in the cabin -- you didn't notice it if you were not paying attention The room will not be dead quiet since you can hear music from the Promenade. The room is toward the aft of the the ship though, while the source of the music is near the center of the Promenade. We were able to go to sleep.
Cabin Odor No noticable Odors
Temperature Control in Cabin Why did they even bother putting a thermostat in the cabin -- it didn't work My wife likes the cabin to be cool and we had to call to have the thermostat checked to determine why the room did not get cool when it was turned to the lowest temperature setting. A maintenance man was very prompt at showing up to check it though, and my wife was satisfied.
WiFi Signal Strength in Cabin 8609 Have you seen what the cruise line charges for WiFi? I can't afford that... (I didn't test it...)
Lighting The lighting is exceptional - the cabin was very thoughfully lit. Lighting was well laid out. There were two switches for the "room light", one by the room entrance and another by one side of the bed. Each side of the bed had a light and a "spot" reading light (that swiveled...). The mirror in the room also has sidelights.
Bathroom Condition Spotless. Everything is in top shape and feels very clean
View From The Cabin Very good view 8609 is an inside cabin with a view of the aft portion of the Promenade Deck.
Drawers, Clothes and Luggage Storage Excellent. I was able to find a place for everything in the drawers and closet. I didn't have to leave anything in my suitcase
Technology, Comfort & Convenience Needs serious improvement. Undersized flat panel TV and no iPod dock
Lounging Space Very Good. Chair or a couch with a coffee or side table
Your Comments & Observations (OPTIONAL QUESTION) The size of the flat screen TV was fine. It was on a corner shelf diagonally facing the bed. It was not wall mounted. The room had two US plugs near the room mirror, which was opposite the bed (there is also one in the ceiling of the bathroom). My wife needs her CPAP breathing machine plugged in while sleeping, so she came prepared with an extension cord. This limited us to just one plug in the evening to charge phones, battery packs, camera batteries, etc. in at night. It was not prudent to plug other things into the CPAP's extension cord since it was on the floor halfway to the bed. Therefore, in hindsight, it would be prudent to bring a surge protected (short) extension with both extra plugs and USBs. We are adding that to our packing list for future reference. My understanding is the Explorer of the Seas is going into dry dock in early 2020. I do not know what RC plans to do to the Explorer, but it would be prudent for USB outlets to be added in the staterooms, but I do not know if this is included in their cabin updates.
DeckPlanGenius Review Authenticity Statement In a perfect world, everybody would be honest and there would be no "fake" reviews -- reviews for compensation, reviews by those with a business connection to the cruise line and even reviews by persons who never cruised in this cabin or on this ship! Use common sense and maintain a degree of skepticism with all reviews that you read.

THIS CABIN REVIEW IS THE OPINION OF AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS CLAIMED TO SAIL IN THIS CABIN AND NOT OF DECKPLANGENIUS OR ITS WEBSITE OPERATORS.
DECKPLANGENIUS IS UNABLE TO WARRANT THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY REVIEW.
