The first thing we noticed on board EXPLORA III was the warm welcome. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and helpful, providing attentive service without ever being excessive. We especially appreciated the feeling of being looked after discreetly: despite the size of the ship, the atmosphere remained calm and personal. Dining was also an important part of the experience. We found the overall quality very good, both in the choice of ingredients and in the preparation of the dishes. Having several restaurants and different cuisines to choose from made every meal feel different, without the sense of repetition that can sometimes be found on cruise ships. We also appreciated the careful presentation and the table service, which was always precise and professional.
