100% TOTALLY agree! I felt very much as home as we are parking in a similar fashion with our new car!

We’re in Canada. Cold winters and nonstops daily to Miami and Barbados. San Juan nonstop on weekends and one change otherwise. What’s not to like?!

We'll see where life takes us but one done, boarding passes printed for the next and three more bookings!

They were turning away scores of people around 8 pm on the night that we went for walk-ins at Marble and Co. We were able to get one additional "official" booking at each but there was less flexibility than we thought. Our sailing (which was uktog's) was PACKED with travel agents and they were most certainly given preferential reservations.

Whaaaaaaaa? YOU'RE GOING BACK SO SOON????? Is that even allowed? I hope you have a great time! I got my check in notice for my next one three days before the finale of my last one! But .... I'm still jealous!

We won't return to the Seaside Class ships as we generally felt that there was NO shade. The layout of Deck 12 on Explora 1 generally meant that there were a fair amount of loungers available on wherever the "shady side" was. It changed from port to starboard (or vice versa) as the sun moved. There is a fairly pronounced soot issue on either side of the smoke stack that the crew are finding particularly vexing - it did affect many of the chairs and complimentary cabanas. Granted there weren't a lot of passengers on board but finding shade wasn't a problem.

I was literally lying 6 feet to the right when this was taken! (I was the one making the “sssssss” sound when the sun first hit the water and the water draining “slurp” sound as it finally disappeared! I remain a classy guy!

I tried to dive bomb you based on your photo and spoke to a LOT of UK people but failed! Soooooooo mysterious!

My partner thinks it was feedback from his own click track, not engine noise….

The humming noise was loud and ridiculous and I marched up to the host who was dismissive. We left.

It’s a plunge pool - there are three other pools.

OBC also can’t be used at Cartier, Rolex and such…

I’ve just learned that the bars only open at 10 am - the humanity of it all! You’re welcome - had I gone on the whale watching, you would have been lucky to see a minnow! They always stay away from us…. Feel free to say hello to the guy in the Star Wars themed shirt 👕!

So funny .... our personal itinerary has MANY more "days at sea" than the Explora website! You're frankly scaring me about the entertainment ..... we will follow your advice and decamp to the Explora Lounge.

Many thanks .....

I'm intrigued .... did they actually allow you to use the "Exclusive Sale Discount" AND your 25% Future Cruise Credit (because of cancellation) discount? Much appreciated!

I’m counting down the days!

Thanks for continuing to take the time, trouble and effort to post. You're apparently much too saucy for some of the posters here!

I’m very impressed with your husband’s ties!

🙀🙀🙀 I've been going to Florida since I was ..... let's just say, it's pushing the 50 year mark. You win!!!!

Many thanks - exactly the same as my amateur sleuthing!

All we’re allowed to say!

I found this tour online of the aft penthouse on deck 6 ....

About 500 .... same as for November 27.....

Safe travels!
