SNJCruisers Posted September 19, 2012 #1926 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) If there is only one show it is usually 7:30 or 7:45 p.m. On our 10 nighter....there were two nights with only 1 show and it was at 1030PM. Dinner seatings were at 600 and 830, so a 730 or 745 solo show would not cut it. The twin shows were at 715 for late seating and 900 for early seating.

CruisinKen7 Posted September 29, 2012 #1932 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Is there a map of the ship or some type of guidebook in the staterooms helping newbies get around the ship and find stuff on the Explorer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvscruising2007 Posted September 29, 2012 #1934 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Is there a map of the ship or some type of guidebook in the staterooms helping newbies get around the ship and find stuff on the Explorer?Thanks Yes. When you get off the elevators there is a directory. It looks like a ship and shows what is on that deck. The RC website has the deck plans and you could try to print them and study them before your cruise. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marnick1 Posted October 3, 2012 #1936 Share Posted October 3, 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. I have the 7 day summary compass if you need it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lem4 Posted October 3, 2012 #1941 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm going on the EOS on 1/13/13 also. Never been on it before. Why were you disappointed? Was it just the food? I personally can't wait!

marnick1 Posted October 4, 2012 #1942 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Did i do something wrong? I don't see day 3. No the pages are legal and when I scanned it cut off day 1/3. Let me reverse it and try again. This was something we were looking for before our trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind these are the "major" activities - there is always something going on every day in the lounges/bingo/activities that are in the more detailed compasses. page 1.pdf page1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcruise Posted October 4, 2012 #1944 Share Posted October 4, 2012 We're sailing on Explorer in March and have a couple of questions. Forgive me as I become that person asking ridiculously specific questions! 1. We are in a GS (woo!) for the first time ever and really looking forward to experiencing the "suite" life - at least this once! I understand the GS has a coffee maker - does anyone know what kind it is? I'm hoping it's a single cup maker - preferably Keurig so we can bring our favorite coffees. 2. The itinerary is FL/Bahamas 7 night - it looks like this might be a new-ish itinerary for the ship. Does anyone know when it begins and when I might start begging for Compasses? Would love to know what the activities for 3 sea days look like. Any other cool Explorer tips are welcome! We can't wait to cruise from "home"!

marnick1 Posted October 4, 2012 #1945 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm going on the EOS on 1/13/13 also. Never been on it before. Why were you disappointed? Was it just the food? I personally can't wait! I've read a lot of good about this ship. I would say based upon our experience the food was excellent and there were lots of choices for every diet in all restaurants. My wife is a vegetarian and I am a big seafood junkie and there was never an issue in either the MDR or in the Windjammer. We definitely preferred the MDR for lunch and breakfast - it was not so much the food in the Windjammer but the people. Folks - its a buffet but its not like you are never going to eat again! Too many people who were downright rude to the servers, line cutters and folks with 4-5 plates. Geez.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on the EOS 3 times, each in a GS...4th one booked......the coffee maker is nothing to get excited about...it is the same type found in most hotel rooms... The Concierge lounge has good coffee, but no fresh milk or creme... We always book a room near the forward elevators, so it is a quick run down the stairs to the Promenade cafe directly below us for that quick morning coffee. Also like being one deck below the solarium and fitness center....no need to wait for the elevator. We are from NJ, that's why we choose the EOS or Baltimore. For Bayonne, it is a quick 40 minute drive up the turnpike..gotta love it. No airport hassles, or luggage issues...for that I will gladly pay the parking fees to be so close to the ship.

lem4 Posted October 4, 2012 #1949 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I know what you mean. People with plates piled high then leave half of it on the plate. What a waste. You can eat all day, why act like that? If people want to be ignorant & cut ahead of me, go ahead. There's plenty of food & plenty of time. I planned on eating breakfast & lunch in the Windjammer & not have to worry about dress codes for the MDR but definitely do dinner in the MDR. We'll see what happens when we get there. Of course I'll have to check with my sister & nieces who will be with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshTraveller Posted October 4, 2012 #1950 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I am British and have a British passport, I am travelling on EoS as a first time cruiser next May and I am having trouble trying to get a straight answer on whether I will be asked to hand my passport over on embarkation :confused: - I definitely don't need a visa for Bermuda I know that much. but I want to be extra careful leaving the USA on the cruise as if its not done properly they don't know I have left and it will be a pain in the you-know-what in the future. Does anyone have any advice, tips etc?? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
