MedicKen Posted August 13, 2011 #551 Share Posted August 13, 2011 this will be my wife and i first cruise with royal caribbean and to this location. any tips or info would be appreciated. If you haven't done so already, bop on over to the Meet & Mingle Roll Call for your sailing. It can be found in the Roll Call section of CC. Choose the Royal Caribbean Meet & Mingle, then Explorer of the Seas and finally the date of your cruise. You can meet a lot of folks that will be sailing with you both seasoned EX (Explorer) folks and new to our favorite ship. And don't forget to sign up for your Meet & Mingle (M&M) on the RCI page. We, Meg, Radio, CruiseDIva, Me (with my family) and a whole slew of others love this ship. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podsnel Posted August 15, 2011 #552 Share Posted August 15, 2011 podsnel, is there a Chops on the EoS, or was the pic of the Chops filet taken from another cruise? There is not a Chops, but the Chops filet is offered in the MDR for $15. We shared it on lobster night for surf & turf. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmJakeBubbie Posted August 19, 2011 #555 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Can you recommend the Best Viewing Location for picture-taking, as we depart the New York Bay - Hudson Narrows...?? Any idea of time we might actually pass under the Verazano Bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted August 19, 2011 #556 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I prefer one of the higher decks (12 or 13) for the experience going under the bridge - it really looks like the ship's antennas will clip the bridge. You go under the Verrazano about 20 minutes after you sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondglaze Posted August 19, 2011 #557 Share Posted August 19, 2011 My group wants to have a little birthday celebration in the Adult Solarium after the ship passes under the bridge. Will it be crowded there or will most people be still partying at the sailaway party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut23 Posted August 19, 2011 #559 Share Posted August 19, 2011 it isn't bad...i have had it a couple times...honestly that steak can be hit or miss on any ship, but i don't think i have ever sent it back..(the only thing i ever did send back was chicken a couple years ago....believe it or not it was tougher than shoe leather...and i think it was on Serenade..but i digress..) The chops filet is awesome...i generally treat myself to it once per cruise...it is REALLY a lot of food, and i am a meatatarian!! I completely AGREE about Chops!!! We were married on the Radiance a few years ago in Juneau. We had the ceremony early so my 90 year old Mom could listen on the phone from the East Coast....a few pictures and then we were back in jeans for the rest of the day. Our wedding dinner was scheduled in Chops.....could not have asked for anything better and they took such good care of us. My DH was raised on meat and meat (although I have helped him realize salads will not kill him) and Chops is a must do for any of our RCI cruises.

Will it be crowded there or will most people be still partying at the sailaway party? It should be pretty empty, as it is not a place to be at sailaway.

johneeo Posted August 20, 2011 #564 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Can you recommend the Best Viewing Location for picture-taking' date=' as we depart the New York Bay - Hudson Narrows...??[/color'] Any idea of time we might actually pass under the Verazano Bridge? Top deck. You can walk port to starboard at will .... stop in the middle at the Sky Bar. If you leave at 5, I would say 5:45ish you will be under the bridge. I have a review of our cruise in my link below if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafpeeper Posted August 20, 2011 #571 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) We are going to book Explorer Jan 27 cruise. It will be 3 years since our last cruise on her. What new changes can we expect? We became Diamond members a year ago for our Celebrity cruise. What perks can we expect? Any new changes at the pier?

We became Diamond members a year ago for our Celebrity cruise. What perks can we expect? Any new changes at the pier? Book now they have great price for D-1-2-3 E-1 balcony. There is a roll call come join The pier is the same, the ship is the same with some cosmetic changes. The staff is the best. Were you on the Jan. 2009 cruise?

DJDaveS Posted August 21, 2011 #575 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have seen the 9 day menus listed here. Anyone have links or pictures of the 5 days menus? I am assuming it is the same as the 9 day but with 4 menus omitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
