las313 Posted September 16, 2012 #1902 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We are on the 10/28 sailing. What time will you be able to disembark on the first morning you are in Bermuda? Will we be able to make the 9:30 ferry to St George? Loouise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freo Posted September 16, 2012 #1903 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Has anyone done a B2B on the EX? Where do you meet for the staff to take you to customs and will they transfer the baggage from one stateroom to another? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets550 Posted September 16, 2012 #1904 Share Posted September 16, 2012 This will be our first time on EOS, re: the email posted earlier, do we have to request our 6pm dining time through the RCCL email address or could we do something online through Royal Caribbean via our existing reservation? I thought I saw something a while back that had areas to click on for things such as soda package, dinner time, etc? We have until June so when do you suggest we make our reservations? You should also e-mail them to put in your request--in addition to doing it on your Pre-Cruise Planner. Earlier is always better, but if you haven't gotten confirmation within four weeks of your sailing, you should send a follow-up e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if it was too early, I will do that today then, thank you so much! Now I just have to figure out if we should eat on the ship or in BDA on our first and only night on the island. Any opinion?:confused: I just emailed/requested 6PM Traditional Dining Time, we had this on one other cruise (my inlaws booked for everyone) and it seemed to work well because we were able to make all the show times. Hope it works out with this cruise too. Edited September 16, 2012 by luvfamvaca adding more comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinKen7 Posted September 16, 2012 #1906 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We're going to Bermuda in a couple weeks...Does the Explorer let you borrow beach towels on Excursions to the beaches or should you bring your own...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted September 16, 2012 #1907 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Beach towels are signed out on the pool deck. You can take them off shore with you any time. You can then exchange them on the pool deck for clean ones when you get back or just sign them back in. They track the towels with your seapass card. If you don't return all that you sign out, there is a $25 charge for each towel. You can always tell the passengers at the beach because everyone's towel matches.

Where do you meet for the staff to take you to customs and will they transfer the baggage from one stateroom to another? Thanks. YES!!! Several... you will get a letter telling you what to do...i think we met in the champagne bar but that varied.. yes, they will move your stuff...just pack folded things....and "stuff" ...anything on hangers will be moved just like that..... make sure your reservations are linked through the b2b desk and let your cabin attendant know....

Thanks Shirtee Yes....you do need to arrive earlier for the bus ride.....about two minutes earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets550 Posted September 17, 2012 #1910 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yes....you do need to arrive earlier for the bus ride.....about two minutes earlier.

CruisinKen7 Posted September 17, 2012 #1913 Share Posted September 17, 2012 We're new to RCL and the Explorer and I have a question about the Formal nights on the Explorer. For a Man, is a Dress shirt, Dress pants and Tie good to go, or do I need a Jacket also? (I'm trying not to pack too much) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaylemh Posted September 17, 2012 #1915 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I will be leaving on Explorer this Sunday. Could some one tell me what time the show is on the last night? I want to make a reservation for Portifino's, and from what I can remember, there was only one show that night. Are all the other production shows still shown twice each night?

luvfamvaca Posted September 17, 2012 #1916 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Apologies in advance for a dumb question :rolleyes: BUT…does anyone know if the daily compass would be the same for June 2012, five night Bermuda and June 2013 for the same cruise ship & itinerary? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will a Passport and Drivers License be good? Thanks You need either a passport OR a driver's license and birth certificate. If you mamage to book under a residency rate keep in mind that your passport will not show your State of residency so make sure you also have something like a driver's license to show your address.

mets550 Posted September 17, 2012 #1924 Share Posted September 17, 2012 What time does embarkation begin? I think boarding began around 11:30 a.m. when we went. Anytime between 11 and 12 is fair game though. We're new to RCL and the Explorer and I have a question about the Formal nights on the Explorer. For a Man, is a Dress shirt, Dress pants and Tie good to go, or do I need a Jacket also? (I'm trying not to pack too much) Thanks People drastically differ over what is appropriate attire on formal night. A lot of people do dress down even on that night, and you probably will not feel out of place not wearing a jacket. However, the "suggested" attire for that night is either jackets and ties or a tux for men. I will be leaving on Explorer this Sunday. Could some one tell me what time the show is on the last night? I want to make a reservation for Portifino's, andfrom what I can remember, there was only one show that night. Are all the other production shows still shown twice each night? On the seven-nighter, I think the last show was 7:30 p.m. It doesn't make sense that it would be 9 p.m. if there is only one, since that would conflict with second seating. If there is only one show it is usually 7:30 or 7:45 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoey2 Posted September 19, 2012 #1925 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Any recent EOS 7 night Bermuda cruisers have the compasses? Just curious since EOS only did 5 and 9 night itineraries previously out of NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
