I just got off the Explorer of the Seas from a Caribbean cruise. I dressed up but very few women were dressy. Many wore nice pants and tops. Some were very UNdressy. I'm wondering if guests on European cruises are dressier than Caribbean? I'm thinking of only wearing nice pants and tops instead of glitzy dresses. It's a matter of having to fly with smaller suitcases also and packing less. We are sailing on the Silhouette in June around Great Britain. Andd, eventually, I'll have the same questions about the Edge in Australia/New Zealand. What say you? I do know what the cruise line indicates, but that has nothing to do with reality!

It says Sanctuary on my cruise summary. So, does that absolutely include the Premier package even though I booked before April 23,2024? From reading all of these responses, it sounds like my booking summary should read Sanctuary plus Premier. Otherwise, I don't get the Premier which is NOT the response I received from the Princess representative.

I'm confused. I booked my cruise before April 23, 2024. On the website it says if you book after April 23, the Premier Package is included in your booking. However, I received an email saying we have been upgraded to the Sanctuary status (We booked an Owner's Suite) which is supposed to include the Premier package. Yesterday, I did a chat and was told we do not have the Premier Package. Today, I called and was told the Sanctuary status includes the Premier package and it says on our summary that we have Sanctuary status. Do we have the Premier package? The Princess rep on the phone said yes. Can anyone here tell me if this is true? I hope my writing isn't as confused as I am!

Are people more relaxed in European cruises?

We will be on the silhouette in June around Great Britain. Our European crew is less dressy than the Caribbean cruises? We are on a Royal Caribbean explorer of the Caribbean Cruise right now and people are not dressed at all. I’m wondering if that is the standard in Europe now?

We were chatting with a couple from Wales last night on board our Caribbean cruise. We shared that one of our ports on a British Isles cruise in June is Dover. They said we might not be able to get into Dover because of all the immigrants coming into that port. Does anyone have more knowledge about this? What they said is that the captain might choose not to go there. And if that were so, what would be the alternative? We are sailing on the silhouette June 24, I believe is the date from Rotterdam

Thank you. Is the Happy Hour from 5 - 8? I'm embarassed that I didn't re-read my text before I sent it. I am particular about grammar!

We are on the Explorer. We are in an owner suite. I don’t know if that star class. I thought star class was only on the larger ships. Please let me know if an owner suite is star class.

Is bottled water and an amenity? Can our room steward bring us bottles as we ask for them?

Two years ago during Chanukah RCCL offered a brisket dinner. My Catholic girlfriend ordered it. It was SO edible that the Maitre'd gave her a Chops steak the next night. (It was too late to have it the same night.)

We are cruising during Passover and wonder if RCCL has Matzah on board?

I was just reading the review on this site for the Explorer. It indicatedd that the Main Dining room is open for lunch. Is that everyday or just sea days? Is it open on the day of embarkation? Thank you.

When our calendars showed up on the App, Perry Grant was the piano player and I couldn't have been happier. Today, he is no longer listed. What happened? I am so disappointed.

Hello! On the Oasis size ships, the concierge emails suite passengers prior to the cruise. Does this happen on the Explorer?

So, I'd like to clarify my request. We are enjoying ballroom dance classes and I asked our instructor for enhancing our slow dance steps. She wanted to know what songs are common just so we have a repetoire for our classes. I suggested Georgia on My Mind and At Last but I couldn't think of more. I thought I'd request some titles, but this is not going well. I like The Look of Love idea. We'll be on a cruise next month and will write a list. I'm sorry I wasn't more direct in why I wanted the list.
