    Splurging on the Serenity Residence east. med this Oct, can't wait. Regarding the limit of people in rooms, I think it is a choice. Have sailed many times with kids in a suite w/ them on a couch bed... there's no getting around the fact that if feels less luxuious (though it's obviously more cost-effective)

    Sailing in the Greek Isles late September. I am happy to hear good things. I have a large 'OBC' or whatever they call it. It can't be used until we board and with everything except excursions I am not sure what I will use it for. Any thoughts? I worry that the good excursions will be sold out before I get a chance to book them with OBC.

    They have an extensive list of excursions once you get onboard. Don’t believe you will have trouble finding a perfect excursion once you board.

    Question, was there enough shade up on deck? We love sitting in the open air, but try to hide from the sun and read our books.

    How did you find out about explora ? I went on their website and most of their sailings are not from the the US . I would consider your itinerary but I couldn’t find anything in the near future on the west coast. Love your content

    We’ve sailed Crystal, Regent, Silversea and Seabourn and would rate Explora Journeys right up there - the food is top notch and the ship well designed. Happily returning next year for another month on board

    Hate to say it but it sounds kind of boring. I’ve heard the ship has felt kind of empty on many sailings. But she’s a beautiful ship and glad to hear the food and service was so great.

    Totally understand. Just like all cruise lines and ships, not everything is designed for everyone.
