Explorer of the Seas

The Explorer of the Seas was built in 2000 and holds Three-Thousand-One-Hundred-Fourteen passengers.


This 142,000-ton megaship is loaded with recreational amenities: an  ice-skating rink, in-line skating track, rock-climbing wall, television studio  and full-size, open-air basketball court. Royal Promenade, which runs through  the center of the ship, is longer than a football field and wide enough to  accommodate three lanes of traffic. Here you'll find restaurants, shops, entertainment and street performers. The basketball court converts to a volleyball court, and there's also a golf simulator, nine-hole miniature golf course and jogging track. Adventure Beach, just for families, has a pool and waterslide. Spots for socializing include a champagne bar, cigar club, sports  bar, jazz club, dance clubs and a cocktail lounge at the top of the ship.  Hungry? There's a casual grill, ice-cream parlor, the Windjammer Cafe and the  24-hour Seaside Diner, modeled after an authentic 1950s diner (complete with  jukebox). Portofino, an intimate reservations-only restaurant serving Italian  fare, complements three main dining rooms.
