Last year while on the Explorer ,sailing out of NJ. On the first night we got hit about 5am off the south Jersey coast with what the Captain said we were hit with a rouge 50 foot wave. Two of the life boats were knocked out of service with one down on the deck. The wave broke the door near the lifeboats and entered the fourth deck. The water rushed in and hit the Aque bar area. They had to close that area down and for days removed the rugs and furniture. The water also ran down the steps to deck 2.

As the captain said it was a good thing that it hit early in the morning with no one on the deck.

We were on that sailing as well, and if you look at the lifeboat positions, I believe the roque wave was closer to 60 feet. (not that it makes that much of a difference ). Besides that, we had 9-12 meter seas steady for a couple days! Still a great cruise.

We have 1864 booked for the April 5th sailing. Like the idea of a "new" room and never stayed on a deck that high up before. Should be interesting!!

My vote is for Henrik Loy. Young, energetic, extremely personable, family man, fantastic Captain. Represents RCCL with extreme pride and professionalism.

Love Olav as well, but heard about the retiring. Sad to see him leave.
