All Things Explorer of the Seas! -- Part 2

[B-52]

Has anyone been in GS 1268, 1556, 1248, or 1256? Any suggestions on which has bigger balcony? thank you

 

We've stayed in a GS 5 times now on the Ex....I believe all the balconies are the same size, never noticed any differnce....in a few weeks we will be in 1252...again. Our favorite because of location.

We were in 1556 and it had a very nice balcony. I think they are all pretty much the same size. When we were in that suite it had a nice lounger and a very nice table with 2 chairs. Love the suite life, lol.;)

Thanks in advance everyone!!

Hard to tell. Some concieges email in advance, and others don't. I'd email them a few weeks before the cruise: [noparse]EX_Concierge@rccl.com.[/noparse]

As far as cabana's I always e-mailed a few weeks ahead.

We are sailing out on a game day, Has anyone traveled the NJTP on game day and how far does traffic back up south of the stadium?

The Bayonne exit is only 8 miles from the stadium's exit and it's a 1:00 game start.

NJ Trnpk can be backed up on a game day. My bro lives in shore area and has come up for Jets games and depending on opponent and whether there is also construction(check that out) between 12 and 1 there can be 30-40 minutes of traffic. Enjoy

Michael in the Aquarium Bar on 4;) He is super friendly and loves to take time to chat with passengers. We made sure to stop and see him the last night and give him our special "thanks":cool:

I see they relocated the ships docking location since I've been there last. Where is the parking located now?

B-52, beautiful pictures. Thank you for posting them.

Can anyone tell me if cabin 7226 has an outside light on the balcony? I just read another thread, another cruise line, where there was no light on the balcony.

[Seaworthy01]

Are the Freestyle Machines still on the Explorer? What flavors are available?

[swami123]

No outside lights because it keeps the fish awake. Lol. Sorry it was too good to pass up swami

We are in a GS on our next cruise. We have ordered the cabanas many times on the private beach. We will be going with family, my question is are you allowed to reserve more that 1 cabana?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I just came off the Explorer yesterday and they did have the Freestyle soda machines. Sorry, I didn't use them, but from a distance there sure seemed to be a ton of flavors. (I recall seeing a video with list of them somewhere.)

[Lily2006]

What is that? You pay for soda card and get all those favors? Anything else about explorer they may have upgraded? Internet?

[sealover777]

Where would you recommend standing for sail-a-way on the Explorer? Thanks.
