:confused: Hello,

We will be staying in 7394 (aft JS)on the Explorer. We stayed in an aft JS on the Legend, and looking at these pictures, it looks like our balcony on the Explorer will be smaller than on the Legend. Is this just an optical illusion I hope?

More Radiance class ships!!! And put one in NJ.

Maybe a seaview cafe on all ships (It had awesome banana pudding pie)

Let me buy a bottle of alcohol on board or let me bring my own. I have no problem with paying an exorbitant corkage fee. I just want my Brinley Gold Rum, which I can't get on the ship (or in any restaurant/bar, for that matter)

My parents and Aunt and Uncle were on one of or possibly the last trip one of the Big Red Boats made. I believe that it was a Canada/New England trip and the ship lost power. I think that they had to get off in Boston, (although I could be mistaken) even though the ship sailed from New York. It was on the news, and people were screaming!! I really wish that I remember the story better, because I am probably leaving something out. The line was bankrupt at that point, and it was a crappy cruise. Actually, I think that it was my father's last cruise.:(

My aunt and uncle, however, are sailing on the Explorer in August and it will be their first time with RCI.

DH unfortunately had to visit the doctor on a Friday night (the last night of the cruise) at 8:30pm. He had tremendous amounts of blood in his urine, so they ran a few tests and treated him with IV antibiotics. His doctor here thinks that he had a nasty case of strep, which could attack the kidneys. (Kind of interesting, because I never heard that before). The bill came to $729.00. It was high, but probably comparable to an emergency room charge in the States. I just hope that my insurance pays for most of it. I did purchase travel insurance, so they should pick up the difference. I will also try to get them to pay for his copayments.
