fivefoot4 Posted April 5, 2014 #27 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The virtual balcony looks awesome. No more dark rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wonder whether it's live, or just simulated. e.g. do you get grey skies and rough seas in a storm? Or is it just a 'happy feelings' screen saver kind of thing.

The_Big_M Posted April 5, 2014 #29 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Perhaps the thinking is that they will send the big ships because the ports where they can actually dock are limited and there is far more to do on the mammoth ships on sea days. Part of their refurbishments is to add tenders, so they can cover most ports the smaller ships do. That was part of their refurbishment rationale, to enable them to be deployed here without so many limitations.

There are also microphones that pipe in outside sounds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springaussie Posted April 5, 2014 #32 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Explorer of the Seas will receive a dry dock in March 2015. The last cruise finishes in Port Canaveral 12 March 2015. Next cruise starts in Southampton 24 April 2015. A Trans Atlantic should run one side of dry dock but one thread claims it will run non revenue across the tub. Venue of dry dock not known at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted April 7, 2014 #35 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Finally got the email this morning...... such old news now!! Heh, same. Poor form to take 4 days to send a batch of e-mail out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalon007 Posted April 7, 2014 #36 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just got mine today as well. It appears they may have all been generated though at an earlier date as it has my C&A as Emerald on the email, but my online profile had been updated to Diamond a few days ago. Maybe they set them to send in batches to not overburden their system? Maybe alphabetically by surname? My surname starts with M so I'm down the alpha list a little. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted April 7, 2014 Author #44 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I got it first because I only just signed up on my first cruise. They wanted to make sure that I did not defect to the Spirit of Tasmania. Of the the first on, last email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronde Posted April 7, 2014 #46 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I received the Explorer email for the second time this morning after first getting it a few days ago. I was excited for a moment or two thinking they were announcing yet another new ship for Australia but no such luck!

The poster above says they got it twice, so looks like there were two batches. I believe today's batches are C&A members, not sure who the first batch were.

I believe today's batches are C&A members, not sure who the first batch were. I checked my two emails - the first (Apr 4) went to the 'spam' email address I use to sign up for newsletters and the like which I would have been done ages ago before I started sailing on Royal. It was a bit weird as the subject line was 'Proof 1 (AUS NONCAS): Welcome to Royal Caribbean, start planning your dream cruise today!' The second that arrived this morning was addressed to my 'normal' email address and was sent to me as a Crown and Anchor member (quoting my real name and C&A number). I am thinking the first email was sent early by mistake to their 'NONCAS' database! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
