Maraprince Posted October 11, 2012 #2026 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. This is interesting, and I wonder if it will be fleetwide soon. Some ships (Monarch, Serenade, Rhapsody) have iced tea and lemonade available 24 hours. Other ships (Voyager, Freedom, Oasis class) seem reluctant to provide these drinks 24 hours. I'll occasionally see iced tea in Cafe Promenade on a sailing or two, but more often than not, Cafe Promenade has only coffee, hot tea, and water. As long as they provide a tea bag and a glass of ice, you can make your own! MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njogre Posted October 24, 2012 #2029 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I will be on the Explorer with Wife, and 3 kids 9.5 & 3. Looking for any reviews info about the ship, weather, being in the Atlantic that time of year, So on... We have cruise on DCL, RCL, Celebrity before out of southern ports Florida and Puerto Rico and never had a problem, just wondering what I am in store for during the first few day and last days at sea.

We had nice weather (50s) even on the first sea day from NJ in late December. You should be by the pool by the second full day onboard (day 3) if not day 2. I'd also recommend using the hot tubs--those are nice even when it is colder out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkerbink Posted October 25, 2012 #2032 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We are scheduled (!?) to leave Bayonne on Sunday for Bermuda. Someone on our roll call wondered if the parking lot at the pier would flood if there is a lot of rain and/or storm surge? I can't picture how far above the water line the parking lot is, but my gut feeling is that it's not far. Any input from the Bayonne experts?

I can't picture how far above the water line the parking lot is, but my gut feeling is that it's not far. Any input from the Bayonne experts? Not sure if it can happen where you park, but I have seen it flooded on the entry road. May be more drainage, run off issues. You would need a direct hit by a major storm...and even then, you are well inside the harbor, not exposed to the open sea. On the leeward side. High winds throwing debris would be more of a concern to me. Edited October 25, 2012 by B-52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be enough to worry about my house while we're gone....don't want to have to worry about the car as well! It's actually cheaper to take the bus, anyway. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be a big one for the area if it follows one of the computer projections. Will know more this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkerbink Posted October 25, 2012 #2037 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Is there a Trans Bridge bus that goes to the RCI pier? Where can I find information about it? Here's a link: http://www.transbridgelines.com/pier.htm Whenever I visit my sister in Maine I take the bus to Newark and fly to Portland. The parking is VERY cheap....the first three days are free and then it's $5 per day afterwards. One week of parking comes to $25. This is assuming you park at the Industrial Park bus terminal in Bethlehem. It's almost that much PER DAY at the pier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andiloveu Posted October 26, 2012 #2038 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We will be on the Explorer in alittle over a month and I was wondering what that game is called that has the married people and they ask them questions. Is it the Newlywed game? We always want to go but always miss it. This time around I want to make sure I find it on the Compass but I want to know the name of the show or game and where it's usually held. Anybody know?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know?:) Last week Love & Marriage was in the earlier part of the week...I believe Tuesday night and it was held in the Palace Theatre. On the next-to-last night they held The Quest which was very fun as well. It was held in Studio B. Both of them were later in the evening...something like 10:00 or 11:00.

sweet angel Posted November 15, 2012 #2046 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone know if Pedro dela Llana is still the guitarist on Explorer? If so, does anyone know how long contracts generally are? I've seen him twice -- Liberty in 2008 and Explorer 2011. Hoping to see him again in April.
