I don't know if the following link has been shared elsewhere, but here is a link from USA today with 107 pics of the cabins from Concierge level up to the Regent Suite:

Thanks a million for the pictures. It looks like The Explorer Suite is larger than the Grand Suite? Am I wrong?

I am truly loving the opulence and regal look of the ship. So glad they went this route instead of the expected minimalistic, sleek, "white space" look. Stunning beyond words.

Lawrence/Farbster sent me this vid of the Explorer's top suite:

Wow . . . .

USA Today's 107 photos were amazing. We were able to see all of the suites that we will be sailing in on our booked cruises. They definitely have the "wow" factor!

Thanks in advance if you do..........

I felt slightly disappointed. I thought the Explorer Suite was laid out better.

Caroldoll,

Thank you, don't know how I missed it.

[farbster]

I've sent links to Wes of my video of the other 2 top suites. Very nice. I got video of the gym as well and will process and post later. Even Wes would be happy!

Farbster,

The cooking stadium is fantastic as well as their foodie programs. If you like to cook, book this ship!

Thanks Lawrence for two more top suite vid's, first below is the Explorer Grand suite:

 

 

And another top Explorer suite:

 

 

Lawrence also sent me a (according to Ida) a wonderful picture of the Explorer's Culinary space. Will post that shortly.

[xrvlcruiser]

Culinary space: can't wait to see that.

 

Also, I love that it looks like the art is original in all spaces. I know this is an area FDR feel is important.

It all looks amazing. Perfection. Jean.

[Caroldoll]

The caption did not say Grand Suite??? The shower, although it overlooks the water, round, looks small?

 

Not being critical. Husband might be a sardine in that little shower?

 

Maybe the pictures got mixed up because the one that said Explorer suite, the voices said Penthouse Suite?

 

We are booked once in a Grand and once in an Explorer and anxious to get that sorted out.

 

So many thanks.

[farbster]

Whatever voice says is correct. I took pics of stadium kitchen and will upload tonight. Chef is great!

[xrvlcruiser]

Farbster,

 

Who is teaching the cooking classes?

 

Thanks . . . Peggy

[farbster]

I think the chef and she's assisted by staff, but let me double check...

[xrvlcruiser]

I'm curious what her name is . . .

[farbster]

Will advise when I return to suite

[cruisereiziger]

Her name is Kathryn Kelly.

[Travelcat2]

I was also wondering. Chef Kelly is amazing - we had her for two classes when we were on Oceania's Riviera. She was the head chef over the culinary programs (and it is likely that she manages the Culinary Center on the Explorer as well).

[farbster]

We just ate at Pacific rim. I'm not exaggerating, it was one of my best meals ever. The cod was fantastic as was the lobster tempora and omg omg the the Korean lamb chop was beyond fantastic. Omg
