Short Review
Our original reservation with the FS Maldives had been 5 nights at LG and 3 nights on the Explorer. We eventually changed our Explorer nights to KH because Mr. Ericka and I both experienced motion sickness on our last trip and we didnt want to risk more of the same. We were, however, able to tour the boat while it was anchored at KH. The Explorer was every bit as beautiful as the pictures on the website. All the rooms were quite large for a boat, with king-sized beds and large picture windows. The highlight though was definitely the Explorer suite which was the size of a real hotel room, with a large closet, dressing area and windows across the entire bow of the boat and a private sundeck. All of the bathrooms were also very large and tastefully done with molded shower units and corian-like vanities.
The appearance of the boat certainly made us regret our decision to cancel, but even while anchored in the KH lagoon, we could still feel movement. Did it make us sick? No. But who knows how we would feel a couple of hours later? The best part about the Explorer is its ability to venture to the southern islands to dive with whale sharks and manta rays. For that, we might be willing to risk a little seasickness on our next visit.
