rednancy1 Posted May 11, 2013 #2551 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nancy, it's possible they held the Diamond Breakfast in there on the ship you were on. On the Explorer, the last time we were on, the "D" breakfast was just held in a side room by the MDR. Every ship might be different and then again, they can change things for each sailing.........LOL Patty Hi Patty, It was definitely not the Diamond breakfast as we did that in the MDR . Gold card holders could order breakfast from a menu. Surprisingly, there were only a handful of pax. And it was so nice and quiet in there.

JaneStarr Posted May 11, 2013 #2555 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I scanned the concierge Suite Welcome letter from Mahmoud Messaoudi. Here's the relevant excerpt: "Suite guest's private breakfast at Portofino restaurant 7:30 am to 9:30 am during port days and 8:00 am to 10:00 am during at sea. Also during lunch time at the Windjammer Cafe, meal can also be enjoyed inside the Portofino dining area using the main entrance of the restaurant. (Please see your service personnel for directions.)" Excuse any typos. I am on Delta GOGO w/o access to my scan, or I would've just uploaded.

Seaworthy01 Posted May 13, 2013 #2556 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Someone had mentioned a Beer Cooler you can purchase onboard other ships, a voyager class ship was mentioned. Are these coolers available on the explorer? I would guess it replaces the beer bucket which would have to be returned, the coolers you take home.

cruise4kicks Posted May 15, 2013 #2558 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I confess: I'm not even going to attempt to read 2,556 posts to find this response, so sorry in advance to those of you for whom this will be an old dead horse... Can someone please describe the concierge lounge for suite pax for me? This is our first time on RCI, we're in a GS, and I'm having a difficult time wrapping my mind around what all's involved with this. Thanks!

They are plastic, foldable and are insulated. We purchased one as a thank you gift for a friend on the Mariner this past January. Cost (without the beer was $9.95....plus the 15% tip. Never could understand how a product like a beer cooler could demand a gratuity but....) They have the RCI logo and a bottle opener attached. It closes with velcro.

Topo Gigio Posted May 16, 2013 #2563 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Any rumors where Explorer is being home ported next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRELT5 Posted May 16, 2013 #2564 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Any rumors where Explorer is being home ported next year? She will be visiting St.Marteen in early November 2014, but not from Cape Liberty. The addition to the St.Marteen schedule was just recently amended. I have a suspicion that SJU may be her new Homeport. Edited May 16, 2013 by FIRELT5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted on another thread that she will do a 14 night repositioning cruise to Port Canaveral starting on Nov 1 2014. I think it's a mistake on the St.Maarten Port Authorities cruise schedule website, since Nov 5 is a Wednesday and Nov 7 a Friday or Royal Caribbean has to confirm on which of these 2 dates the EX will be visiting.

It leaves Bayonne Nov 1st and gets to Port Canaveral on Nov 15th. It's not on the website for sale yet but it's Explorer's reposition cruise. Not sure when it will show up on the website.

Topo Gigio Posted May 17, 2013 #2575 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Go to the "Explorer..rumors" thread started by me and you will find the itinerary there. This is it if not mistaken. Btw wondering what kind of itineraries she will be doing out of PC.
