Behind The Scenes Tours And Other Secrets?

[robcassell]

I am going on the Explorer soon, was wondering if anyone knew of any behind the scenes tours of the boat no one else knows about or other fun tips that others might not know about while on my cruise!!

The last time I was on the Explorer they gave a back stage tour of the theatre.

No tours of the engine room/bridge/kitchen/etc?

Hi, my 2 mates were offered a choice of either a bridge tour, kitchen tour or a backstage theatre tour on the Jewel but that's only because they are Diamond Plus members. Apparently when you reach this grade you get one tour each cruise.

Make friends with the Captain or one of the senior officers. ;)

The Voyager class ships have a "peek-a-boo" bridge overlook so that you can be a "backseat driver". It is open most of the time, except that at night, they close shades to block the light shining through which could spoil their night vision. I like to compare my hand-held GPS with the ships instruments.

 

I have requested bridge tours, and have been told they are no longer offered due to "increased security concerns". Apparently, some lucky souls can still get them if they have cruised enough times.

Those tours have essentially been eliminated for security reasons.
