Background information
We have reviewed all our previous cruises which were on-board RSSC’s Mariner and Voyager in the Mediterranean but this time we wanted to try the new Explorer and enjoy the convenience of a Southampton round trip which meant our holiday could begin with a comfortable car journey.

Cabin Review
Concierge Suite
We were in an E category ‘concierge’ suite amidships on deck 6 and it was generally excellent in terms of space, fittings and finish. The king-size bed was extremely comfortable and as it faces the sea, provides a lovely view to wake up to. There were two handbasins, a bath and a spacious shower all in marble. There is also a large walk-in closet with ample storage. Two minor criticisms: first the curtain separating bed from sitting area is too close to the end of the bed so that we couldn't use it at night for fear it would cause trips if we had to stumble around in the semi-darkness at night. Second, the tiles on the floor of the shower and nearby were beginning to show yellow/brown staining. They are regularly cleaned, of course, so it would seem to be the effect of water lying on them as the drainage was unable to cope quickly with the copious output of the shower.
