Explorer of the Seas - Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony #6632

[DonnaK]

Was able to take a look into room 6658 for our upcoming cruise in October.

 

There is no metal wall (regular fiberglass) obstructing your view in this cabin. Lifeboat below, and off to the right corner of the balcony there is the lifeboat davit structure.

 

There are 8 of these cabins on the ship, 4 on deck 6, and 4 on deck 7. E1 category, deluxe ocean view stateroom with balcony. Deck 7 is the better choice.

 

These rooms are smaller than the regular balconies. 177 sq. ft. compared to 198sq. ft., but the balconies are larger, 82 sq. ft. compared 55 sq. ft. The rooms are shorter in length but wider.

 

No couch in the room, only a chair.

 

My first thought when entering the room was that it was a little on the small side, but it is wider, more room between the bed and desk, and a larger balcony.

 

Looking forward to trying a different cabin on our October cruise.

 

This thread is about Explorer (and other 1st generation Voyager class ships). It seems that your experience is on a different ship class (Anthem?)

We enjoy the metal balcony! Very private. I am 5'2" and had no problem.

What do you think of cabin on Explorer no 6574. Wondering about the talk with metal balcony etc.

Have written C&A to ask for deck 7 if possible but think that will be a different category.

Like Mid ship and not too high?? REgards Irene and Stan

Still pondering on our deck 6 cabin 6574. RCI will upgrade? to deck7 but those cabins are all on hump e.g.7312 7322 7614-7622 . You opinion greatly appreciated there is a extra cost of $100Au . Just wonder why they are all vacant and nothing else.Regards Irene and Stan. not sailing till Dec 2016.

RC is not going to upgrade you. If you want to change cabin categories, you will have to pay whatever the difference is, plus any possible penalties. I know that the booking rules are different in Australia from what we have here in North America.

 

I can't tell you why all of those hump cabins are available. They just are. :)

 

I am guessing that at some point, E3 were a much lower price, so they booked up quickly. Now it will cost you money to switch. (don't you lose your deposit if you do that?)

Thanks for your prompt reply, however, think I got the wrong person was and thought it was Cleara with so much knowledge, however, it does seem we will only be charged an extra $100 but DH said why bother?? Thanks again Regards Irene and Stan
