Ocean Boy Posted February 21, 2013 #2301 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm getting ready to book May 30th on Explorer. Cabins available are on Deck 2. Forward and Midship are the Theater, Conference Room and Ice Rink. I can't tell what is Aft. Can anyone tell me what it's like to stay on deck 2? I'd like to be near the elevators, but am concerned that they would be the noisiest rooms. What is it like when people are arriving and leaving shows...and how loud is it during the shows? Thank you. Deck two is VERY quiet. The cabin passageways are recessed off from the elevator areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-52 Posted February 21, 2013 #2302 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I just spoke with RCCL and if anyone else cares, the hot spots are in the following locations:Crown lounge Solarium (YAY, that's where we want it) iCafe Library Cafe Prominade Crown & Kettle Schooner Bar Conference center. I don't know how I made reservations and missed that Explorer doesn't have wifi throughout the ship, especially since the website says: Wi-Fi Check your email. Surf the web. Stay in touch. Bring your laptop onboard and enjoy 24/7 internet connectivity throughout the ship. Per minute rate applies. which I stupidly took to me ALL throughout the ship. And the Concierge Lounge......deck 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eemaxx Posted February 23, 2013 #2303 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Didn't see it posted anywhere already.....are the stateroom doors magnetic? Thinking about using a magnetic white board to leave messages for others in our party. We'll be on the Explorer on 6/22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Member's cruise in Nov and one of the "gifts" was a magnet that was stuck to our door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And an object that is magnetic will attach to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megndavenj Posted February 27, 2013 #2313 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Can anyone tell me if they provide snacks and drinks for kids at the Kids club? If so, would they charge me for any drinks they have whilst there if we do not have the soda package for them? Or should I pack my kids something to take whilst they are there - they are 5.

MeLike2Travel Posted February 27, 2013 #2314 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We were on Adventure of the Seas a month ago with our 3 year old. They did not provide snacks in the kids club. But on certain days they'll take them to WJ for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed Midship Deck 2 on Adventure, very nice, hardly any movement. Only noise we heard was from Studio B (Ice Rink) one night when we were in bed around 11:30, it wasn't bad, just some applause & laughing, not really that loud IMHO and we heard the doors in the hallway closing a few times I think but again, not that loud where it was annoying. We actually booked Deck 2 again but on Explorer for our next cruise! Hope that helps! Happy Cruising! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't allow food in the kids club as a rule. One sea days it generally goes from 9 to noon and then 2 to 5 so kids can probably go without a snack. On Port days they keep them for lunch and other days they go to Johnny Rocket's for supper. I know on the Freedom in January my kids said they brought some snacks in a couple of times but that was on Port days when kids could stay in longer. I would not worry about snacks.

Take a look and check cruise advise dot org, they have a great section where they recommend and warn of cabins near noise, motion, public areas above & below and they have it organized by ship. I think some of deck 3 may be below public areas on deck 4. You may want to check if you are concerned about noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnolea Posted March 2, 2013 #2319 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Here's a silly question: does anyone know what brand of tea bags they have for general use in the cafe and the windjammer? I drink a lot of tea and I don't like some brands. If they don't have something I like, I may bring my own. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise5374 Posted March 3, 2013 #2325 Share Posted March 3, 2013 We had a Chocolate Breakfast on Oasis in 2011, it was with the Dreamworks characters. I think it is only on Oasis and Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
