Spoken to RC tonight. Explorer does not have a Royal Tots Nursery. It was decided at the last minute to not put one in on the refit.

Since this in an Explorer specific thread, and not just a general Nursery thread, I did pop over the the RCL website to look at the Explorer. They don't list the Nursery as a ship feature, and it is not on the May 2015-Sept 2016 deck plans (the Nursery usually replaces the teen disco on deck 12). So it looks like the Explorer does not have a Nursery right now. They list the Royal Babies and Royal Tots program as a kid's highlight, but that is just scheduled parent/kid activities and not the nursery.

This is exactly what i noticed. Hence asking the question for anyone who has been on the ship since the refurbishment. The non-existence of the Nursery is going to be a deal breaker for me on my summer cruise.

I would also like to know the answer to this! Its been listed as part of the refurbishment, but until someone has actually seen it i am always dubious. We've got a cruise booked in august on Explorer.

Also, does anyone have any experience of using a royal babies and tots nursery on any other ships? What is the availability like? Are you rationed on the number of slots you can get for your baby, or do you generally get as many slots of you require!

Thanks

We are in a family suite on this same cruise out of Southampton. Its our first proper cruise as a family. Our booking price included gratuities and the drinks package. The room was not cheap, but the ages of our kids made it difficult to book regular cabins.

I am hoping that the room gets a refurb as part of the refreshment programme, since it looks slightly shabby, and we were unable to get onto the Anthem for its similar cruise!

we are cruising on explorer out of southampton in august in a family suite and really hope they refurbish the suites as part of the programme.

Nobody has any info about it, but surely after 15 years at sea, the cabins are going to get a proper overhaul?

What are the indications from previous refurbs? Do the cabins get new bathrooms or soft furnishings?

Thanks!
