Dizziedi Posted July 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Does anyone have photos of a refurbished Explorer of the Seas Junior Suite? As they usually refurbish them the same in each class, any of the Voyager, etc should be the same (I think). Any photos would be appreciated. Thanks Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodycruising Posted July 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I would be interested to see some photos also if anyone had some? Or a link to some anywhere else? Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The rooms do not get refurbished in Drydock. They may have items repaired or carpet changed on an as needed basis but hey will look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus Makkem Posted July 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The rooms do not get refurbished in Drydock.

Better seats and table on balcony too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted July 19, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Furniture, curtains and carpet were all changed for new during Navigator's dry dock Jan. 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have pictures of a JS, but we saw one on our cabin crawl, and the new color scheme was the same in all the cabin categories. There are some pictures in posts #3 and #4 on this thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2236466 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrzr Posted July 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2015 We were in an Explorer aft JS post dry dock. The cabin looked great -it had new carpet and the balcony was fantastic. In fact, I didn't get too many pictures of the room because I was too busy enjoying the view from the balcony. :D But, we loved the room.

Dizziedi Posted July 19, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thank you for the photos. They look much better than those horrible orange lounges. Cheers Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodycruising Posted July 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Those are great pictures. What deck were you on please? Did you hear any noise through the connecting door? Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrzr Posted July 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We were in cabin 1694 on deck 10. We heard no noise whatsoever from the connecting cabin. I would not hesitate to book this cabin again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing your photos. Do you know if 1394 next door was similarly refreshed (fingers crossed)?

All the ships are getting refurbished staterooms in the current revitalisation programme. They're moving from aqua & orange, to navy blue and oatmeal/beige. We've been seeing these new look staterooms for the last year or so as each ship enters & leaves drydock. Carpets, curtains (or drapes if you're in America), sofas, chairs, bedding are all brand new. You can't get much more refurbished than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevink Posted July 20, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, that looks a lot better than pre-refurb. Adventure was refurb'd at about the same time as Explorer, did it get the same treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpets, curtains (or drapes if you're in America), sofas, chairs, bedding are all brand new. You can't get much more refurbished than that. The one thing that is for sure is that RCI ships are very well maintained. Blanket statements one way or the other can be disproved though as the ship revitalizations have not been standard, across the board, but have instead been done on a ship by ship basis based on need and previous standard. I have now sailed on 6 RCI ships directly following their refurbishments and the fact is that on a ship like Serenade they only needed to replace the flooring in the bathrooms and on the balcony. On Vision they did nothing beyond a deep cleaning to the inside and standard cabins, while they completely re-did the deck 8 suites in their entirety. On Navigator and some other ships all cabin furnishings were reupholstered and not new. My Oasis balcony cabin had several minor issues, like damaged cabinetry, that had not even been touched under dry-dock and little work was done in the cabins on Oasis.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I know the balcony looked great and had the same furnishings as ours. I did not see the inside of the state room but expect it would have been similarly refreshed.

Your cabin looked great. Does the JS have a bathtub/shower or just shower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrzr Posted July 21, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 21, 2015 We had a bathtub/shower as well as a "walk-in" closet (although not nearly as large as the real walk-in closets on the Radiance. One of the great things about the JSs is the ample storage and extra space in the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
