Just a first impression

This ship is exactly like the independence, just a few names have been changed, the Pyramid Lounge, is the Star Lounge, and The Olive or Twist lounge is called Dizzies, after Dizzy Gillespie the jazz musician.
But the layout is exactly the same.
The atmosphere is nice and easy going, very like the Indy.
The main problem is since we've been on the Splendour of the Seas we've been spoilt, the way we were treated on there was brilliant and second to none, and any other ship has got a lot to live up to.
Having said that the Explorer is a much larger ship, and I've always found that you get more recognition and more personal treatment on the smaller ships.
Funny thing is, it's not so long ago that these smaller ships were considered huge; progress I suppose?
