Clarea Posted February 23, 2015 #26 Share Posted February 23, 2015 We're also sailing in late May (23rd and 26th). Definitely hoping that they put a Park Cafe in. There are no plans for a Park Cafe in any Voyager or Freedom class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette3028 Posted February 23, 2015 #28 Share Posted February 23, 2015 There are no plans for a Park Cafe in any Voyager or Freedom class ship. We were just on Independence and the Café Promenade had lots of nice options to choose from to eat. I realize it isn't a Park Café (like we had on Allure) but it is very nice. I totally loved the shrimp rolls, and the chicken wraps.....along with the cheese cake lollipops and chocolate chip cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just added the Park Cafe breakfast and lunch offerings to Cafe Promenade, and kept the almost 24 hour access, it would be perfect for us.

daisy-mae Posted February 24, 2015 #31 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We sailed on the Explorer two weeks ago and attended a Crown and Anchor reception where Captain MacDonald gave a brief talk explaining some of the refit plans. There will be about 64 new cabins added to the 12th deck -- I believe he used the term "panoramic". As far as I can tell, the only way to accomplish the addition would be to seriously curtail the walking track -- a pity for those of us who enjoy a little exercise before tucking in to yet another meal. He also mentioned a flowrider and one or two new dining venues. The work will be done in Spain, and the ship will remain overseas, eventually sailing to Asia and Dubai. Explorer is in serous need of some major cosmetic work -- the carpets in the dining room are worn and lifting in spots, some of the chairs are worn through, and the toilet in our cabin stopped working twice during the 5 night cruise.

Yep, if you look on deck plans for 12, that's exactly what's happening. The jogging track seems to dead-end on either side now, which should lead to an interesting bottleneck at either end. We had to call on our toilet more days than not when we were on the 2/26 sailing. Really hope they do something about that. Where were you, out of curiosity? We were deck 8 aft, wondering if the issue was confined to one area or all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From pictures I've seen of Voyager, it looks like the jogging track now passes in front of the sky bar due to the addition of the deck 12 cabins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted March 19, 2015 #38 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks, sounds like she is will have the same treatment as the Voyager, looking forward to when she comes down under next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadly similar, but they usually add some 'surprises'/bonuses as time goes on. They'll have had time to significantly evaluate the first two by then, plus have features from new ships to assess as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying-dutchman Posted March 31, 2015 #44 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Does anyone has experience with the new Q-category inside cabins on deck 3? For our next sailing in November we have a Q-category on deck 6 (#6211 to be precise). Should I change my cabin to the new ones on deck 3? Are they noisy because there are close to the Schooner bar for example? Jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositiveLad Posted April 5, 2015 #45 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Giovanni's Table will be replacing The Chamber (disco) on Deck 4 (the night club experience will be moved to Viking Crown) I hope this isn't true as the two-storey nightclubs are one of my favourite things on the Voyager/Freedom class ships. I'm sailing in October and will be mighty disappointed if it's not there anymore. Worth noting that both Voyager & Mariner have recently had their revitalization and BOTH of those kept their gothic themed nightclubs. Also the bit on Deck 4 is just a small balcony area onto the main nightclub on Deck 3. Got my fingers firmly crossed that 'The Chamber' is still there when I go sailing in October!
