wwwflorida Posted April 11, 2014 #3327 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi all, going to be on the 22 May sailing on the Explorer. I saw others asking about copies of the Compass and menus for that itinerary and wondered if any were received. Thanks to you all. Hope to hear from anyone who will be sailing too.

smile1234 Posted April 15, 2014 #3331 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hey All I am going on explorer this Saturday - i have been on her 3 times already but am curious if any swimming will be possible due to the temperatures. ie will my 8 yr old get to swim in the pool and ocean. Also have a 2 yr old and hoping the kiddie pool is slightly warm. Has anyone been on the EOS last week or week b4 that can let me know? Thanks Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaBla Posted April 15, 2014 #3332 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hello all! Sailing on Explorer on June 28 and was wondering if anyone can tell me about the drink "vouchers" for Diamond. Has anyone been on since this new policy has been in effect and if so, how was it? Thanks in advance for any information! Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted April 15, 2014 #3333 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hello all! Sailing on Explorer on June 28 and was wondering if anyone can tell me about the drink "vouchers" for Diamond. Has anyone been on since this new policy has been in effect and if so, how was it? Thanks in advance for any information! Stacy I was on Explorer 3/11/14 and they did have the drink vouchers. I believe it was a trial period for a few sailings only. Going back on 5/22/14 and I could let you know when I return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaBla Posted April 15, 2014 #3334 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Going back on 5/22/14 and I could let you know when I return. That would be great, thank you! (Fingers crossed) Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted April 15, 2014 #3335 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The 3 drink voucher was pre-loaded onto your SeaPass card. Drink vouchers cannot be redeemed in the dining room, specialty restaurants or the Windjammer Café and it worked out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too cold to use the pools until Day 3. We didn't use the kiddie pool. There were people using the hot tubs on Day 1 and 2. It was also too cool on the last day.

alfaeric Posted April 15, 2014 #3337 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The 3 drink voucher was pre-loaded onto your SeaPass card. Drink vouchers cannot be redeemed in the dining room, specialty restaurants or the Windjammer Café and it worked out fine. Plus you get a menu of what you can order from the bars. Couple of notes on that- first of all, the bar may not have an item- we tried to get the port wine at the Champagne bar, and they did not have it. Second- if a coctail uses multiple alcohols- they all must be on the menu- I ordered a Manhattan, but the vermouth that is available in the lounges is not on the menu- so I could not get it. (the bartender did make some nice alternative, well earning a tip). It works, but the system does have kinks. We just sailed on the Explorer on the April 5-10 trip, first trip for the Bermuda season. Sorry that we don't keep compasses, nor did we use the dining room (but for once). It was a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Erica You should be OK swimming on board, but the water temps are only going to be around 70 in Bermuda. That's uncomfortable for swimming without a wetsuit. I don't remember if I've seen your name on our roll call, if you haven't joined it yet jump on in. See you guys Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get soup and an appetizer, an entree, and dessert. That and the great rolls they keep bringing made sure that I was always well satisfied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman85 Posted May 11, 2014 #3342 Share Posted May 11, 2014 On the staterooms with a window on deck 2 they can sleep 4 people, one bed and two pull down beds. Are the pull down beds directly over the one main bed, or are they above the sides of the bed? Also, could someone just sleep on the couch instead of a pull down bed? I'm curious because the couches in the pictures look pretty long enough to sleep on. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman85 Posted May 13, 2014 #3345 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What is this smell I keep reading about on the ship? If it is there, has anyone smelled in on deck 2 cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 13, 2014 #3346 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) What is this smell I keep reading about on the ship? If it is there, has anyone smelled in on deck 2 cabins? It's not unusual for the smell of sewage to appear from time to time on cruise ships. Edited May 13, 2014 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sass4 Posted May 13, 2014 #3347 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Would you chose a AFT or Hump on Deck 10? And why... We enjoy the Windjammer for breakfast and Casino in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 13, 2014 #3348 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Would you chose a AFT or Hump on Deck 10? And why... We enjoy the Windjammer for breakfast and Casino in the evenings. Neither. I'd choose a hump on deck 9, because I don't want to hear the noise from deck 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sass4 Posted May 13, 2014 #3349 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Oh no really?? Our last cruise was on Legend 10 nighter, it was so irratating hearing the Band playing and chairs scraping across the floor. (This was the 1st time on any cruise I had heard the noise.) Did you notice this same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This was the 1st time on any cruise I had heard the noise.) Did you notice this same thing? We usually notice some noise from above when we're right below the pool deck. Sometimes it's just an occasional bump, or kids running. Other times it's every morning at 4am when they are arranging deck chairs. We try to avoid being right under the pool deck.
