Explorer of the Seas 4th February 2017

Hi everyone; My name is Vivienne, i am a mother of 7 grown children and 14 grand children. I absolutely love cruising as I find being near water very comforting. My first cruise with Royal Caribbean will be 4th Feb 2017 leaving Sydney as I have always cruised with other cruise lines. My last cruise was a few years ago due to fighting breast cancer and trauma linked with an abusive long term marriage which caused Agoraphobia and Panic disorder. This cruise is going to be part of my recovery and My sister, 21 year old daughter and I have organized one of those stateroom guarantee balcony so I will be able to find a nice quiet spot by the water when needed. I also love Ice skating so am looking forward to trying that out. My daughter loves rock climbing so I guess that's where she will be. Had a bit of a rough start and confusion around organizing the room with a lack of communication and having to go over the same thing with different people every-time we called but hopefully smooth sailing from now. I will gladly provide my feedback and experiences upon completion of this cruise as I am curious to see how they cope with minor mental health issues in comparison to other cruise lines. So excited.
