Have tried searching but can’t find the info I’m after does anyone know where or what is happening with explorer in nov 2023. It does a TA at the end of Oct arriving into Miami on Nov 11th, then seemingly nothing for 2 weeks until a 6-day western departing Nov 25th ….

Yes they honoured the time and price for Christmas Eve for us (we decided to change our plans for New Year’s Eve). Not sure if it was cos Christmas Eve was day1 for us, or just nobody wanted to pay the $99 for the “special holiday meal” , but Chops was very very quiet that night, almost empty, so their attempted price increase for other guests seemed to backfire for them. But we were happy with the price we got and they didn’t ask for anything extra from us

was that confirmed by staff onboard? I was on EX the end of October / early November and the Wi-Fi was beyond horrific, we complained and got a partial refund but the Wi-Fi manager said to me he thought Starlink was being installed during the upcoming dry dock in January. I specifically asked him as we are booked on explorer for Christmas this year

We are D+ but don't cruise at Christmas so this is a new one for us. Sailing Explorer this Christmas and back in April we booked our meals at Chops for Christmas Eve & New Years Eve, at the regular price (about $49). Having just looked on my cruise planner now I see they have added a Special Christmas Holiday Dinner for those days (& Xmas Day) for $99 per person. Our current booking is still showing in the calendar and we have no communication from Royal of any changes (I wouldn't have had a clue without randomly checking the sale today). What will happen here? The fact we booked so early to ensure our preferred times , have had no comms from them saying anything is changing, are we good to assume they will honour our current reservations? OR do people have experience from previous years of being told nearer the time "tough luck, we've cancelled your reservation but you can rebook at $99 each if there's any tables left".
