All Things Explorer of the Seas! -- Part 2

Hi,

Are we best to put our soft drink cans in checked in luggage or carry with with us?

Has anyone had soft drink cans taken off them in Australia?

 

In addition to SearBear's questions, would they be fine with 2L bottles of soft drinks?

I'd go with the cans in checked bags. At least they get on the ship, though you may have to go down to security to fetch the bag.

Hello,

Are we able to put our two bottles of wine in our checked in baggage rather than carry it with us?

If we put it in checked baggage and don't carry it on will they still confiscate it?

They won't confiscate your wine, but you most likely will have to pick your suitcase up in the "naughty room" and explain why it's in your suitcase! Best to put it in a carry on.

Bon Voyage!

Plus the risk of breakage is greater with the wine in checked bags.

We're doing our first cruise on Explorer next month. :)

 

1. Is the Diamond lounge on deck 14 open all day and are there coffee making facilities in the lounge?
   
2. Is there a breakfast area set aside for Diamond members on Explorer?
   

Thanks.

There is a DL on deck 14, and it can be accessed via your SeaPass card 24 hours. There is a coffee machine inside that you can use for complimentary specialty coffee.

 

Don't know about #2.

I don't believe there's a specific breakfast area, but there were breakfast muffins as well as coffee in the diamond lounge

Hello,

We will be going on Explorer of the Seas this June. Just verifying that you can still get apple juice at breakfast for free.

 

Thanks!

We strolled on with an unopened 2L bottle of Pepsi Max in a clear plastic bag and security couldn't have cared less.

 

One of us had also carried aboard a sports drink bottle and used it while out and about. Again no problem.

 

That should answer a couple of recent questions.

Thanks davekathy!

 

You're welcome.
