I Finally Tried Explora Journeys… NOT What I Expected | Explora III

I board Explora Journeys' Explora III for my second luxury cruise experience after my first luxury cruise left me disappointed. Come along as I sail solo from Miami on a seven-night Caribbean cruise and explore what life is like aboard Explora Journeys’ newest cruise ship. I’ll show you my entry-level Ocean Terrace Suite, take you around the Explora III, and share my experiences with the food, service, entertainment and days at sea. We visit St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Antigua, and along the way I try everything from Marble & Co. Grill and Sakura to a poolside stop at Shore Club on 11 at The Conservatory. By day five, I was calling this the perfect ship for me! I paid approximately $4,600 as a solo traveler for this seven-night sailing; my fare included $385 in onboard credit. I discuss what’s included and how the experience compares with my expectations throughout the vlog. Fares and inclusions can vary by sailing. Would you try a luxury cruise on Explora Journeys? What matters most to you: the suite, food, service or itinerary? Let me know in the comments. 🚢 PLANNING A CRUISE?
