Rachel - absolutely loving all your posts and especially the photos. I haven't been on the Explorer in 5 years and don't recognize a thing due to refurbishing. Looks wonderful. Hope more reports will be coming.

Thanks everyone. I will try to remain patient. I'm hoping to spread the cost out over several months. There are so many sights I want to see.

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find the answer in any of the "newbie" threads. When does HAL make excursions available for purchase? I don't sail until March 1, 2016. Thank you.

Wonderful photos of one of my favorite cities. Enjoy the opera. How nice to see one there.

Enjoyed the photos of Milford Sound. One of those places I would love to experience again. Hope your calm Tasmanian Sea continues. The other can be brutal.

So sorry you all had to miss this port. Unique town and architecture.

Fantastic review Crystal. Thank you for taking the time to post. I would love to see everything you all saw and did, but don't think these old knees will allow it to happen - even with a walking stick. So happy it worked for the two of you.

Thanks to everyone who made this one of my best cruises ever. I enjoyed every single minute. Well, maybe not the CDG plane change experience, but everything on the ship was perfect! Until we sail again.
