the griswolds Posted April 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any news or new pictures of explorer since the refit. I believe the 1st sailing from Southampton is 24th April so just a few days away. Will she be on her way over to the UK now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley61 Posted April 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Marine Traffic Map Still in Cadiz according to Marine Traffic. RCCL have stopped people posting photos until it's finished I think, but if you're on Instagram you can do a search on there and there are a couple of external photos showing the new deck 12 cabins at the front. I'll be eagerly awaiting the first post dry dock reviews once she's back up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the griswolds Posted April 19, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It will probably stay for a couple more days then. I gathered that regarding the pictures on dry dock daves thread when all the pictures disappeared. We are on explorer in august so it should still look brand new.

saxopete Posted April 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Does anybody else think the new Deck 12 Cabins look some what ridiculous on the top of the ship. I just think it makes her look ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 20, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Does anybody else think the new Deck 12 Cabins look some what ridiculous on the top of the ship. I just think it makes her look ugly! Yes, I prefer the original look of the forward part of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying-dutchman Posted April 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I notice a new (in this picture) third 'white ball', those ones are I think used for satellite and navigation systems. Can we expect some improvements on onboard communication (higher speed internet?). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F27TW Posted April 21, 2015 #17 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Yes, I prefer the original look of the forward part of the ship. Agreed ... that new addition really looks ugly on the ships its been added to ... looks like a big flying saucer landed on the bridge. What type of cabins are those?

What type of cabins are those? The forward facing staterooms are Panoramic (big window) Ocean View. The side facing staterooms are balconies.
