counsdr Posted September 21, 2016 #3601 Share Posted September 21, 2016 This has to be incorrect... it's not an upgrade but a downgrade from a D1 cabin to an E2 cabin. Never have I seen this mentioned on Cruise Critic and never have I heard of this. RCL, or their computers, would never automatically downgrade you to a smaller cabin (8138 will also be smaller inside than 9692). So if you paid for a D1 cabin, you should be fighting for this. Did you book your cabin through a travel agent or Royal Caribbean? Could there be a possibility that you thought you booked the aft cabin but you really didn't? Check your invoice...it will be crystal clear on your invoice what you paid for. Those Aft cabins are E 2's and a hump cabin I believe is a D 1. Most importantly, if you were put out of 9692, you lose that glorious aft view and huge balcony! I'm in 7388, which I know is an E catagory and I would be more than angry if I were moved out of it! Good luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynhay Posted October 7, 2016 #3602 Share Posted October 7, 2016 First time cruiser question. Are we allowed to take on board the Explorer a power strip to charge multiple devices from the one 240v European power socket in the cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While many are able to bring them on board, power strips and extension cords are on the prohibited list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazy_dave Posted October 7, 2016 #3604 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Well, I just got off a cruise on Anthem yesterday. She's a beautiful ship, good entertainment, great dining once you get used to the format, still has that new ship smell. And with all that, I STILL want Explorer back in Bayonne.

Hi, we are first time cruisers on Explorer next month and I thought the power socket was going to be U.S., am I wrong, is it European?

Explorer is my favorite ship! There is only one electrical outlet in the room and it is at the desk! It is 110 v US . I always take a Belkin plug in which gives me 3 outlets and 2 spots for my iPhone and iPad. I also take my Mophie so I can charge from wherever I am!

That's great to know you love Explorer, we are so looking forward to it. Thank you for clearing up what plug I need. I thought it was a US one. I also need to charge the same things you do so will look at the Belkin. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has shown us so much, fantastic! Just one thing, I read you aren't allowed to take alcohol on board. We were under the impression we could take one bottle of wine each to our cabin. Is this not right? Edited October 10, 2016 by Sacha53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted October 10, 2016 #3612 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi Sascha, Are you cruising from Sydney? Per the guest ticket booklet: Guests are now allowed to bring 2 bottles of wine or champagne per stateroom on embarkment day. These are to be consumed in the cabin. A corkage will be charged if they are consumed elsewhere on the ship. Any alcohol purchased at ports or from the ship shops will be stored by the ship and delivered to guest's staterooms on the last day of sailing. Hope this helps.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted October 10, 2016 #3614 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I have never heard of anyone being charged a corkage fee either but it is printed on the terms of conditions with my paperwork for my Explorer cruise next month.

Hi, yes we are travelling from Sydney, I'm not sure if it's because of the 'Per guest ticket booklet' that we are entitled to the wine, maybe it is. I shall definitely make sure when we receive our tickets. Everything you have quoted is what we were led to believe. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer, you did help me.

Ocean Boy Posted January 7, 2017 #3618 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Does anyone know if the latte machine in the Diamond lounge is working? The working condition of the machine now has nothing to do with the working condition an hour from now. And I don't mean that to be snarky. The machines just seem to be temperamental and unreliable on all of the ships I've used them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imashy14u Posted January 10, 2017 #3620 Share Posted January 10, 2017 We are going on our first RC cruise in 3 days time and we can't wait! I was wondering if we are allowed to take non-alcoholic drinks on board when we check our bags in during embarkment and also at the different ports? Thanks.

The rules say beverages other than the two bottles of wine at initial embarkation are prohibited. However, they usually don't enforce that rule for water and soda.
