Athens to Athens, 14 nights, September 2024
September
Pros: New ship, Upscale interior, Well designed staterooms, Large veranda, King bed, Good food and selection, Good selection of different food venues available, Overall excellent service in stateroom restaurants and around the ship.
Cons: Dinner reservations start at 18:30, some earlier options would be nice. May be unavoidable but some docking berths were in ugly heavy industrial areas, especially Venice.
Recommended: Yes
Based on our one cruise experience Explora provided very good service and good value for the cost.

West coast trip
April
Pros: High end room, friendly crew, all enclusive
Cons: No store to buy souvenirs or small sundry items. Prices in Euros,
Recommended: Yes
Ship geared toward Europeans. Prices in Euros, meters, 24 hour clock etc. Only buffet eating or big dining rooms (which we couldn’t get into) nothing in between like a coffee shop with waiters. Food was good but not a lot of variety. No where on ship to get a snack if the buffet was closed. Lack of reasonably priced excursions. Lack of good entertainment at night and activities on sea days
