subtchr Posted April 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2011 It will be fine, but if there is any way you can get closer to midship, it will be more convenient. That far aft is a pretty long walk down the hall to get to your cabin from the stairs/elevators. We have stayed on Deck 10 on a couple cruises, and we like it because it is only one deck up to the Windjammer/pool deck. Some folks say they hear noise from above (you are under the Windjammer buffet), but we have never had that problem. Also, if anyone in your group is prone to motion sickness, ship movement can be felt a bit more in the aft or way forward than midships. Whatever you decide, you will love Explorer and Bermuda, we did that cruise last June. There are several links in my signature for info and photos. Enjoy!

reallyitsmema Posted April 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Ooops nevermind. Misread the cabin number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtchr Posted April 23, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2011 That is a great cabin! It is a highly sought after corner aft that is the size of a JS at D1 pricing. There is plenty of room to get around even with the sofabed open. The balcony is larger than a regular D1 too. This site will show you some great pictures of what you have: http://www.voyager-class.com/ The walk is longer but it is not as bad as people make it seem. We have stayed in 1688 twice, which is the mirror opposite of 1388. We would grab that cabin every time on that class of ship. She said she booked 1368, not 1388. My advice would have been very different if it was 1388! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suite has a marble floor and a grand piano that at times cause noise in the cabins below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subtchr Posted April 23, 2011 #12 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The Bermuda cruises are always quite expensive, especially certain times of the year. Many of the cruises from Florida are much cheaper, but there is the expense of getting there, for many of us! Having said that, Bermuda is absolutely beautiful, and the people are wonderful. When are you planning to cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imlilbitz Posted April 24, 2011 #13 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I don't know about 1368 but We have cabins 1362, 1364, & 1366 reserved for the Explorer leaving this Thursday. Once we get to St. Thomas I can post a message & let you know how the motion is if you would like. Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happiest mommy Posted April 24, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I don't think we'll be able to do this cruise I was looking to go the end of June 2012 when I told DH the price ($5700) he said no way:( I didnt think it would be that much and we didnt want to fly to a port and an inside room will not work for us even tho it is cheaper ocean view is almost the same as the balcony I really wanted the bermuda/caribean cruise but I don't find it on the RCCL site for 2012:confused: Maybe I will price compare for Sept, Imlilbitz thanks I appreciate that as I will be saving this post for future refernce can't wait to see the rooms:) I will continue looking so far this what I have learned please correct me if I am wrong: 1. Midship cabins to avoid feeling the motion not aft 2.Deck 7 and above is the best 3. Ocean view or balcony is best for a family of 4 the only thing I still haven't figured out or found is what those E1/D2 letters in boxes etc mean thanx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted April 24, 2011 #15 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The E1, D2, etc. refer to the cabin category. D and E categories are balcony cabins. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted April 24, 2011 #16 Share Posted April 24, 2011 On the Explorer with a 2 and 6 year old I would look at cabins near the aft elevators to minimize the walking. You can still be midships, but not dead center. Does the 2 year old use a crib or sleep in a bed? The cabins for 4 have either pullman's which drop from the ceiling or a sofabed that sleeps 2. I would ask my questions on the family cruising forum to get other opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
