Explorer of the Seas Refurb?

[joseph123]

I have read that the Explorer will be going into dry dock sometime during 2020. Does anyone know what type of updates are planned?

Nothing more specific than what is mentioned in the flyer.

They just announced Allure today, so maybe the other two ships will be coming out in the near future.

I hope so.

Explorer is one of two itinerary options we're tracking for our next cruise and the drydock "improvements" might be the deciding factor.

if its like the Navigator, no more sauna, and a smaller gym.

I bet it'll be similar to Mariner. I'm interested too since it's doing the Greek Isles next year & I'm planning on doing Greek Isles in 2021. One interesting thing though, the regular balcony rooms on Explorer are small. Mariner has the biggest rooms I've ever been in. (even bigger than Freedom which felt big)  I would have to book a spacious balcony on Explorer to get the size of a regular balcony  on Brillance.

I will be excited to hear what changes are planned! Hopefully in advance of my cruise in Sept 2020.

Explorer is supposed to be finished with dry dock in April 2020.
