Sniffer1959 Posted March 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It looks like the new name for Mein Schiff 1 when it comes over to Thomson/TUI will be TUI Explorer When I went to book some cruise excursions today, TUI EXPLORER was in the drop down list of ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailaway487 Posted March 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Always thought they needed an Explorer ship :) Name fits well with Discovery. Looks like Discovery 3 on port schedules was just a temporary addition until the name was decided on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted March 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Let's hope it will be 'exploring' other seas like the Indian Ocean or the Southern Atlantic or even the Coral Sea - but I won't hold my breath If Fred Olsen can fill their ships on these kind of voyages I don't see why Thomson can't. They do one season in the Middle East and pull out and guess who's shot in to replace them - P &O And why can't they do something about the boring Canary Island itineries- same old, same old What's wrong with including Cape Verde, Dakar and Banjul to liven them up?

davecttr Posted March 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) is that the old Celebrity Galaxy? Meant to be a lovely ship. My parents did Alaska on her about 16 years ago. Yes, with a 50 million euro refurbishment for the German market. I imagine there will be further work done before she moves to UK TUI. edit -this site has the deckplans with English translations, it looks impressive http://www.cruisemapper.com/deckplans/Mein-Schiff-1-743 Edited March 28, 2017 by davecttr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare elmsliebev Posted March 29, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Strange! I can't get in on my laptop, but can on my phone and desktop, but can't see Tui Explorer in the drop down menu. I can't get in on my Chrome book but can on my ipad! I think there must have been some upgrade recently either to Chrome or to the Thomson website as I used to be able to get in on the Chrome book.

davecttr Posted March 30, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks for the link, I see they are making changes including moving the casino to the top bar forward. I am glad to see she has a top bar as they are one of my favourite places aboard ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" New " ships, same old itineraries. We have done the Western Med. and the Eastern Med, over and over again.......... and as for the Canaries, it's about the only option we have from Scotland in the winter apart from very few Caribbean itineraries. With three ships in the Caribbean next winter you would think people north of the border would have more choice. But no very limited again and with big supplements as usual.

davecttr Posted April 1, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I wonder when deck plans will be available, the location of the single cabins is very important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted April 3, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Just returned from Discovery and it was announced in the theatre about the new 'Explorer' - the cruise director also mentioned that there will be new itineraries in the far east:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
