fridaythe13th Posted November 2, 2009 #27 Share Posted November 2, 2009 im sailing dec 20th to jan 3rd...i might as well go all out on my first cruise =) um, ONE LAST QUESTION...its the balconys on the ship all closed? like all you see is glass? no open air?? There is an open part, above the plexiglass or steel (depending on the ship) at about waist high. Not sure what Explorer has, but I think it's steel. You'll be able to stick you head out and breathe fresh air.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Booper Posted November 2, 2009 #30 Share Posted November 2, 2009 i think there is something wrong with my TA...she gives me only 6616 and 6618 and thats it for the humps... The RCI website only shows a few of each category. The TA has to call up and find out what is available, RCI guards availability. The two she is quoting are center hump(6618) and the next one. Take 6618, direct center. More complete info comes from Europe, and you can't book thru them, not that we can talk about the site name. We have 6622 on our TA next week on the Navigator, near twin to the Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Booper Posted November 2, 2009 #35 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Thick walls. You have the cabin wall, the corridor and then another corridor wall. 6618 in a flash, if it was me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laseiber Posted November 7, 2009 #36 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Just don't get an ajoining cabin, because we had one our last trip on Exployer and we couldn't keep our balcony door open because it whistled so badley thru the adjoing door, it sounded like someone was sawing, we did not know the other people in that room, they did not have a balcony cabin, ours was the 1st port side forward cabin with balcony, so as a courtsey, we slept with the balcony door shut, would have liked to have it opened since we were docked for 2 days in Bermuda. So check out the cabin layout on the RCCL web site before booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good cabin choice. Since it is your first cruise you may feel more comfortable booking tours with the ship although they are more expensive. Read up on different ports of call (here on CC) and you will get ideas. I take Bonine (Meclazine) every night starting the night before the cruise starts. It does not make me drowsy or have any effect on me if I have a cocktail. I'm not a big soda drinker but I do bring a 12-pack of soda and water. Just put a luggage tag on it and leave it with the porter to be delivered to your cabin. Have a great first cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridaythe13th Posted November 16, 2009 #42 Share Posted November 16, 2009 so i can just bring like a 24 pack of poland spring, pop a tag on it and poof its in my room? do they have a fridge? I have never been denied checking my drinks with a porter. Yes there is a fridge. There will be snacks and drinks in it (for purchase). Just ask the steward to remove that stuff and put your own in it. It doesn't get things real cold though. We usually bring a soft sided collapsible cooler and have the steward keep it filled with ice. The cooler will sweat so either put it on a towel or keep it in the bathroom.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalGal777 Posted November 16, 2009 #43 Share Posted November 16, 2009 i can see why they do that...stupid me thought it would be open :oThey are open to the air...the sides go all the way up but the railing in front of you will go up to above your waist...the bottom part is glass or steel.
