njmomof2 Posted August 15, 2014 #55 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Lovey review and the pictures were great. Mom and I sailed her last spring and loved the convenience of driving and not having to worry about baggage and flights and security. We're on Freedom in just over a week, and I completely forgot about the walk in closet in the JS. I upgraded us from connecting E1 balconies to connecting JS and mom doesn't know. She and I share a cabin, and we always have little issues with the closets and drawers. Now we won't have to cram things into small spaces.

Never2Late2Cruise Posted August 15, 2014 #56 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Great review. We will be on her 10/23. Do you know who the piano player in the Schooner Bar was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvscruising44 Posted August 15, 2014 #57 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Anne, love your review. Did you give Denzil a hug for me? Isn't he a doll? Not only is he so very nice, helpful, dedicated, but very good looking. We've been friends for 6 years now. I didn't tell him we would be on EOS back in May, but when we got to our cabin we had a note and bottle of wine from him. He said he reads the manifest for every cruise and instead of us surprising him, he surprised us. When we first met him, he was our waiter. Later he was on the front desk, Guest Services. Then he was floating concierge filling in for vacations on EOS and Liberty. Next he became concierge on EOS. Hope he keeps moving on up; he deserves it. I know moving to Asia will keep him closer to home, but selfishly I wish he would be moved to Quantum. Glad you had a good time and missed most of the rough weather. I was following along on Seatracker and saw the ship docked in St. Maarten on the port cam so I knew you made it there okay and the storm had passed. We had a JS in May and love, love, loved the walk-in closet. That sure does spoil a person. We were in 9606 and our cabin was is very good condition.

Annefran Posted August 15, 2014 Author #59 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Great review. We will be on her 10/23. Do you know who the piano player in the Schooner Bar was? His name was Anthony, not sure of his last name. He's actually very good friends with a friend of mine. They were meeting him for lunch the day we got back on the Explorer. Anne, love your review.

Luvs Thanks Luvs, we absolutely fell in love with Denzil. I know exactly where 9606 is, we always book hump cabin 9618 on past Explorer cruises. Unfortunately we coulnd't book near the hump this cruise because they are only for 2 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my3jays Posted August 17, 2014 #67 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Great review Anne. We had a fabulous time on this cruise. We didn't get to a lot of the shows because I can't stay up so late but now I wish I did! Loved the ice show and Old San Juan was more beautiful than I remembered from 1991. I will think of Julie RUNNING like a flash at Quest. Hilarious. "Foot in your mouth" has a different meaning to me now. I would love to cruise with you again!

Dave85 Posted August 17, 2014 #68 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Great review Anne -- I finally got myself caught up today! Glad to hear you had such a wonderful final cruise on the Explorer :D Wish we could have been there. I agree with you 100% about avoiding late summer cruising, btw. I realize not everyone has the luxury of avoiding the prime seasons, but I've always found the ship less crowded and the rate (sometimes significantly) less expensive when avoiding prime season. All that said, it is really nice leaving NYC or Bayonne in the summer when you have warm weather immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can choose to cruise other times of the year and will do so. Glad you enjoyed the review. One of thaws days we will all cruise together.
