Irene7 Posted May 8, 2014 #26 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm really enjoying all the posts on this thread. We are sailing on the Ex this Oct on her last (round trip) cruise to Bermuda. I'm looking even more forward to it now!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted May 8, 2014 #27 Share Posted May 8, 2014 When did you go on the Explore? We are going in June. I hope Urkie is on there? Urkie from Turkey went back home quite a few months ago, to get married. I was told by Leigh he will not be back on Explorer, those 2 were great together.

parrotfeathers Posted May 9, 2014 #28 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The area roped off for suite guests on RCL ships in the pool area isn't exactly prime real estate. Much easier to sit in regular areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRZAHOLIC Posted May 9, 2014 #29 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Go for it.We are more experienced with Carnival but like to try other lines. Explorer was a great ship, liked the food and staff were fantastic (really impressed with the entertainment staff- Urkie from Turkey was hilarious!!!). Not all differences were good but at least you get some perspective and new experiences. One thing we found and might have been an off week (and this could happen on any ship I suppose)....never saw so many people who have an aversion to waiting in line in my life. Constantly witnessed people jumping the line for elevators, dining room and at bars. We couldn't get over how many just didnt give a damn about others around them I didnt like that certain areas were off limits unless you had achieved a certain status with RCL. I understand the concierge lounge and extra privileges etc but roping off parts of the pool area was a bit much in my opinion. Some guests seem to think their status meant something to the rest of us....:confused: Still, nothing bad to say about the ship, thoroughly enjoyed our time on her. When did you sail with Urkie?
