MagicMike Posted June 28, 2011 #251 Share Posted June 28, 2011 3% charge period, does not matter whether it is at a table or cashier. Tim For 100 reward points, you can get the 3% fee waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovesCruising Posted June 28, 2011 #253 Share Posted June 28, 2011 For 100 reward points, you can get the 3% fee waived. As I said previously, I never paid the 3% charge - I drew cash maybe 2 - 3X's from the cage - I had about 1100 points by the end of the cruise - maybe more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_i_c_h Posted July 1, 2011 #254 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Will be on EOS in December and want to find out which bars you can still smoke in and if any of those bars become non-smoking at certain times. Can anyone help out? Thanks, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help out? Thanks, Rich I was on the Explorer in May and remember passing through a section in Dizzy's (deck 14) where smoking was allowed.

nyc1967 Posted July 1, 2011 #256 Share Posted July 1, 2011 those with kids, do u think it will be ok for the two boys to wear "black" sneakers to the dining room - they will not be comfortable wearing dress shoes each night and i'm thinkiing they are 9 and 11 and after dinner they'll be running to the kids club! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_i_c_h Posted July 2, 2011 #257 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Maddy - thanks for the info. NYC - I think that will be fine. I wouldn't want to run around in dress shoes either. :) I wouldn't have them wear shorts and flipflops on formal night, but as long as they try to wear something appropriate, I think most people would think it's just fine.

nyc1967 Posted July 2, 2011 #258 Share Posted July 2, 2011 thanks for the feedback Rich - they will definitly be dressed for formal night w/a suit..just w/black sneakers on LOL Maddy - thanks for the info.

NordicPrince Posted July 2, 2011 #260 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I am sooo glad that I found this thread. This will be my DH and I first time on the Explorer and our friends FIRST cruise ever! 11/20/11 11-night Southern Caribbean. ...recommondations for shore excursions in St Kitts. This will be our first time here and just wondering! Thanks :) Dw and I can recommend Thenford Grey Tours to you. He gives you a great tour of all the major sites including Brimstone fortress, the Romney Manor, Sir Timothy's Hill and Cockleshell Beach, all at a very reasonable price. You can google him at Grey's Tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyc1967 Posted July 2, 2011 #263 Share Posted July 2, 2011 for those who did the 9 night EOS do u change your watch once u get to St. Martin? It now says we get to St. Thomas at 9a but i'm thinking it might actually be 8a after the time change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc1967 Posted July 2, 2011 #264 Share Posted July 2, 2011 what time do the stores open in St. thomas? I have to be at Coral World by about 10:45am just wondering if i can get some shopping done in the morning before that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted July 2, 2011 #266 Share Posted July 2, 2011 those with kids, do u think it will be ok for the two boys to wear "black" sneakers to the dining room - they will not be comfortable wearing dress shoes each night and i'm thinkiing they are 9 and 11 and after dinner they'll be running to the kids club! thanks I don't think black sneakers would be an issue at all. If people are looking that closely at your kids' feet when they have an entire cruise ship to be looking at then they seriously need to get a life.

138east Posted July 2, 2011 #268 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I disagree. Every time I have been on the longer Explorer cruises the time has changed - an hour forward on the way down and an hour back on the return. This puts the ship on the same time as the islands.

dajulieness Posted July 2, 2011 #269 Share Posted July 2, 2011 This might have been asked already but on the 5 night to Explorer do they change to Bermuda time? I know 3 years ago they did but has that remained the same We have dolphin quest from 2:30-3pm on the 2nd Bermuda day. They kick us out of dophin quest right away at 3pm so we should be back on the ship by 3:30pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I might be wrong) but nevertheless, we did stay on Eastern time One cruise was in March, the other in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I might be wrong) but nevertheless, we did stay on Eastern time One cruise was in March, the other in September. They are 1 hour ahead of us. I can't do this time math but Dolphin quest is 2:30-3pm So what eastern time(ships time) would that be. 1:30?.. Then i think we are fine then. My brain keeps thinking its an hour behind because in cozumel/costa maya they kept ship time and not central time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rncruiser Posted July 2, 2011 #275 Share Posted July 2, 2011 what time do the stores open in St. thomas? I have to be at Coral World by about 10:45am just wondering if i can get some shopping done in the morning before that There probably won't be any time for shopping. A very few of the stores open at 9, but most do not open until 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
