Review w/ photos - Explorer leaves NY for the last time

[DKNYC]

Great review! Also great to meet you and have you as a tablemate. NASA tour looked good too. I actually never got to visit "The Thing" (I call it a Rube Goldberg machine) in the 19th Hole. Thanks for the videos and the fantastic pictures too.

WOW, WOW, WOW !

 

What a great review you gave. Thank you sharing all your impressions with the rest of us :)

 

Your photos are awesome ! If we have the pleasure of sailing with you again, I'm only planning on taking personal photos, leaving all other photo taking to you. Hoping to 'borrow ' ;)

 

Thank you

Wow, that was a great review. The itinerary was pretty good with the exception of your first few crappy days with rough seas.

 

I only wish I could take pictures like you that are not only great but tell some story. I am not much of a photographer to say the least but yours were great. Thanks for taking the time and effort to doing such a great review.

 

P.S. Tell your friend your luggage was only overweight because of the number of shot glasses you bought him :)

thanks for bringing the Explorer back live for me. We sailed her during Hurricane Noel back in 2007............ despite the weather, a great cruise and a great ship! thanks for all the wonderful pictures which brought back so many memories. AWESOME!

Great review.

 

It's tough to write a long review and organize 1,000's of pictures.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I enjoyed your honesty, humor and great photos. We are going on the Explorer Christmas cruise and this was a great way to get warmed up and excited! Thanks so much. :)

What seating did you have? And where was your table? I think we were near you.

Thankyou for taking so much time to provide this stellar cruise review. It ranks up there with the best of them!

It must have been a labor of love for you to produce it, and it shows.

 

A fitting farewell to the Explorer from its long time homeport...:)

Second seating - table 307. Starboard side, near the forward end of the dining room.

Great pictures and review! Boy are we going to miss Explorer!

Another Great Review!! (as usual. I've read most of your reviews)

Chockablock with great pics, lots of info, and your unique brand of humour! :D

 

Welcome back, BTW. Glad to hear this year and next is looking up. ;)

That's what I thought. We were at 304?, the last table before the wall, 6 people at a 10 top table.

We had eight. I do remember seeing one table that looked bigger and counted ten people at the table. So, we were neighbors and didn't even know it.

There are photos and then there are photos! Your photos are the beautiful!

Thank you for a great review!!!

Thanks for the enjoyable and thorough review. I appreciate how much time it took to write and to download all the photos, knowing you would use a fraction of them in the review. We were in Curaçao on the Vision the same day you were and Aruba the next day so your review was especially interesting to us. And next year we get to visit the other ports, so thanks for the preview in your review.

Great review, awesome photos. Thanks for sharing. Sorry we didn't get to meet.

I was on Reflection when you were in St. Maarten. Here's Explorer coming in with Oasis close behind. Taken from my balcony on Reflection.

Thank you. I had a port side balcony. I'll have to see if I can see myself in your photograph. :)

Great review -- enjoyed your sense of humor.

Where did the CL have the Happy Hour? In the actual CL or in an overflow area in the Viking Crown area? Or both? Thanks

Thank you for sharing your cruise. Looks like you had a relaxing time. Great pictures.
