Just got back yesterday from the Eastern Caribbean on Explorer. Had a FABULOUS time...not excited to be back in the "real world". The weather was great, islands were great (except I didn't care for Nassau...too crowded), and the entertainment, service and food aboard the ship were excellent. I highly recommend the Explorer!!!!!!
Welcome back to reality! I'm very pleased to hear your cruise was all you hoped it would be, well, except for Nassau but I agree with you about that place.
Lucky You! Not that you're back but that you were on a cruise last week. The Explorer and the Adventure are my favorite ships. That might change after I sail on the Freedom in Oct. I don't know of anyone that really likes Nassau. I usually just stay on the ship when in that port.
We actually did go back on the ship after about an hour of shopping in Nassau...there were 5 other ships in port that day besides ours, which probably explains the crowds. We spent the rest of the time poolside with our pick of lounge chairs, which was nice. Can't wait to go again!!
