kevpc110 Posted August 15, 2013 #2901 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm playing catch up here with the Explorer itineraries. Do you know where she will be after the January/February 2015 drydock? I heard she is going to port canaveral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 15, 2013 #2902 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm playing catch up here with the Explorer itineraries. Do you know where she will be after the January/February 2015 drydock? Royal has not revealed that yet, but I'm hoping for Enchantment to replace Majesty in Miami and Explorer to replace Enchantment in Port Canaveral.

steveru621 Posted August 15, 2013 #2903 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I don't know if it's permanent, but the last scheduled cruise from NJ is a re-position to Port Canaveral. It could be they are just getting the ship closer to a dry dock location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explorer is scheduled to do some interesting itineraries (Southern Caribbean) from Port Canaveral for a few weeks, then will probably go to Freeport for the dry dock.

Ocean Boy Posted August 15, 2013 #2905 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Explorer is scheduled to do some interesting itineraries (Southern Caribbean) from Port Canaveral for a few weeks, then will probably go to Freeport for the dry dock. Too bad it doesn't go to dry dock first. I just had some friends return from a 5 nighter on the ship. Apparently, at least in their opinion, the ship is in need of some attention. I'm always interested in southern itineraries but I'd like to go after the refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit, it would be nice to be on the ship after the dry dock, but we were just on the ship this past April and thought she was in fine shape. I guess ship condition is another one of those subjective things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted August 15, 2013 #2907 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Must be some kind of scheduling issue for available space. It's odd if the first three weeks of December are that slow, why not do it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaworthy01 Posted August 16, 2013 #2909 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I don't know about 5 AM, but I'm with you on not sleeping in. If you think about the cost of a cruise per hour you are awake and enjoing the ship/ports, then the earlier you wake up the cheaper the vacation is!! :D Good way of looking at it, I was in bed by 1 AM and up by 6:30-7 on my last sailing every night, My vaction will be very cheap if I keep that same schedule this time around. I may be extremely tired after the cruise though, but I'm good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetocruiserccl Posted August 17, 2013 #2915 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) @ ckrobyn We did it in April it was about who killed Johnny two shoes or two tons. He was a gangster. Johnny had a cheating wife, a shady business partner and a ditsy girlfriend. It was pretty good. Especially Sally Said So the girlfriend. I hope its different in December if not we will enjoy it again. Love To Cruise RCCL Edited August 17, 2013 by lovetocruiserccl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaworthy01 Posted August 21, 2013 #2925 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Anyone ever encounter bed bugs on the ship? My cousin is sailing on the Explorer and is worrying about bed bugs. I personally never had issues with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
