thecleave Posted December 6, 2018 #176 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Mariner 873 Cat E starboard. Close to the aft elevators, but it's right near a through hallway to the port side cabins, and the cabin attendants park their carts in this area. They also tend to gather and around the carts and may at times be somewhat loud. I wouldn't book this cabin again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastoo Posted December 7, 2018 #177 Share Posted December 7, 2018 In 2016 on the Explorer for 20 days we were in suite 926 which is mid ship port (F1 category.) Excellent cabin in a good location. The balcony is the more narrow one but still fine for two people. The F1 category is probably the best value on the Explorer. The location is midway between elevators. Highly recommend this suite.

thomastoo Posted December 7, 2018 #178 Share Posted December 7, 2018 On the Explorer in 2017 in E 766. Port side aft. The suite itself is great as are all F, E and D cabins. However the location of 766 is aft of the rear elevator. Unfortunately that elevator and staircase do not go all the way down to deck 4. For that reason I would not recommend 766 or any cabin aft of the rear elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? I believe so. They’re both in the spreadsheet. Be aware that there’s a tab for each individual deck. At the bottom, you’ll see them. Click on which deck you want to view.

thomastoo Posted December 16, 2018 #182 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I am aware of the deck tabs but I still do not see Explorer 766 and 926. I have used two different browsers but both cabins say not yet reviewed. Any suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UUNetBill Posted December 16, 2018 Author #184 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Okey dokey, then. That one’s on me, I had updated a backup file, not the shared one. Mea culpa! Those should be visible now & I’ll hop in and verify the other recent reviews. Sorry for the confusion! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portolan Posted December 21, 2018 #188 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Bill, Here's our entry for our recent cruise on Voyager: Cabin # Category Reviewed By Mo/Yr Reviewed Port/Starboard/Mid Fwd/Mid/Aft Sq Ft (if known) Cabin/Balcony # Bathrooms Tub/Shower/Both/Combination Noise issues? Recommend? Comments/positives/negatives/concerns 818 PH B Portolan 12/2018 Port Fwd Suite: 320 ft2 (30 m2), Balcony: 50 ft2 (5 m2) 1 Bathroom Tub & Shower No noise Yes PH B (and PH A) on Voyager aren’t much larger than the C-H suites (which all have the same interior layout, including PH C), but are a more usable layout. Note that my following comments are of an unrefurbished PH B since these were excluded from Voyager’s most recent drydock when the H-C suites were redone. There is a lot of storage space (outside of the closet…more there): shelves on the side above the desk, three drawers beside the desk plus one drawer above the desk kneehole. Glassware is in a dedicated cabinet in the sitting area which also supports the expresso machine. The only downside at present is that these suites have not been refreshed for some time and wear is showing on the carpet and cabinetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portolan Posted December 22, 2018 #189 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Bill, I stand corrected on whether or not this suite on the Voyager had been refurbished in 2016...apparently it was though it hasn't worn very well. So, please use this edited text for my description: PH B (and PH A) on Voyager isn't much larger than the C-H suites (which all have the same interior layout, including PH C), but is a more usable layout. There is a lot of storage space (outside of the closet…even more there): shelves on the side above the desk, three drawers beside the desk plus one drawer above the desk kneehole. Glassware is in a dedicated cabinet in the sitting area which also supports the expresso machine. The only downside to this suite was that it showed wear inconsistent with being refurbished two years ago: the carpet was stained (and apparently couldn't be cleaned; pieces of carpet were also coming off the baseboard next to the bed).

flossie009 Posted December 31, 2018 #191 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Happy New Year, Bill and hope you have an enjoyable cruise. Attached are suite reviews for our last two cruises - one tab for Explorer and one for Mariner: RSSC Suite ratings_flossie_Dec 18.xls Also an extra bit of feedback from our cruise on Explorer: A couple we met during the cruise were moved from Suite 1215 (D Concierge) due to noise from the Culinary Kitchen below; speakers in the ceiling of the Culinary Kitchen meant that the occupants of 1215 felt they were part of any class being held!! Apparently the Executive Concierge admitted a number of complaints from suites positioned both above and below the Culinary Kitchen. So beware of those suites 😮 , especially if you like to spend time in your suite relaxing during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topkatz Posted January 2, 2019 #195 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Bill, here is a 3-fer from our current cruise on Mariner. Thanks for putting it together. Suite: 897 Typical suite layout. Head of bed faces aft. Bathroom has tub/shower combination. Tub is narrow and short. Requires a large step up. Ceiling is low. Feels very unsafe. Closet space is adequate. Moved to a different suite due to low ceiling – kept hitting head on the ceiling (6’ tall). Occasional vibration (shaking) when underway a certain speeds. Suite: 883 Typical suite layout. Head of bed faces bow. Bathroom has shower only. Closet space is adequate. Occasional vibration (shaking) when underway at certain speeds. Suite: 891 Typical suite layout. Head of bed faces bow. Bathroom has shower only. Closet space is adequate. Occasional vibration (shaking) when underway at certain speeds. WIreless APs: If wireless connections are important, here are the location of the visible Wireless Access Point locations on Deck 8. I’d expect the locations to be similar on other decks. Overall, wireless connections a strong in most public spaces. Nearest Suite: 806 807 814 815 818 819 828 829 840 841 854 857 866 867 882 885 892 893 8102 Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982CruzStart Posted January 7, 2019 #196 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Explorer Suite 816 Sailed Dec 2018 Noise - occasional door banging during the day from 2 service doors across the hall but otherwise very quiet Comments - It is a lovely cabin, great location as it is close to the forward stairs and elevators and is almost equal distance up or down for walking to public areas, lots of storage, has the larger angled balcony, bathroom is wonderful with both a separate tub and shower and plenty of storage, closet is spacious, comfortable for having room service for 2 for breakfast and lunch, did not have dinner in, great having the bed facing the windows, If the balcony door isn't shut tightly then there could be some whistling but easily fixed by giving it a good slam.

Wendy The Wanderer Posted January 8, 2019 #197 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It might help Bill, and it would certainly help others I think, if you could post the suite class when you're posting your details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982CruzStart Posted January 8, 2019 #198 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I thought on Bill's spreadsheet it says what class of suite it is so that is why i didn't post it. Explorer 816 is an F2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
