Ta muchly :) No official list made public by Royal. Probably some new staterooms, new specialty restaurants, Diamond Lounge, maybe a flowrider, pervasive wireless.

Jocko97 Posted January 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Explorer will gain the Chef's Table experience, Park Cafe and Giovanni's Table (Italian), as well as a Concierge Lounge for suite passengers and top-tier Crown & Anchor members, a Diamond Lounge (for Diamond members) and the Royal Babies & Tots Nursery. On the technology side, the ship will get digital signage, flat-screen TVs in cabins, bow-to-stern Wi-Fi and a poolside Jumbotron.

I think they were on the list for Navigator last January, but she didn't get either. A Park Cafe would be a wonderful addition. Explorer already has a Concierge Lounge. Maybe it will be relocated???

takowasabi Posted January 19, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 19, 2015 we are cruising on explorer out of southampton in august in a family suite and really hope they refurbish the suites as part of the programme. Nobody has any info about it, but surely after 15 years at sea, the cabins are going to get a proper overhaul? What are the indications from previous refurbs? Do the cabins get new bathrooms or soft furnishings? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelerThom Posted January 19, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 19, 2015 ...Bathrooms sinks are upgraded.Hmmm... This usually means replacing a functional sink with a stylish sink that is not nearly as functional. Personally I prefer function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin's girl Posted February 16, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We are sailing on the Explorer in May. I would really like it if they would upgrade the cabins. Orange and teal is just really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyneham1 Posted February 17, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2015 We're also sailing in late May (23rd and 26th). Definitely hoping that they put a Park Cafe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
