Scot born Posted October 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I will be on the Explorer on Saturday 6th to the 13th. While trying to research the ship it has been a mixed bag. I know everyone has their own ideas of good and bad, therefore what I would like to do is try and get as much factual info as possible, so if there is anything that you would like me to checkout let me know and I will do my best. I am not buying the wifi so a full report of what you wanted to know along with my thoughts and review will be posted come the 16th October as I have hubbys 60th on the 14th and a busy weekend when I return. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristaltips Posted October 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Will be interested to hear what you think. We’ve only today booked a trip on her for next year! Have a lovely time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot born Posted October 1, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks Cristaltips I am really looking forward to sailing on the Explorer as most of my cruises have been on Marella cruise lines and each one is different in their own way. I am sure I will have a ball.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburgher Posted October 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Wonderful! I have been asking this question about the bathroom drying cord for weeks now but nobody replied yet: https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2674117 A yes/no reply would be welcomed on this thread on your return, and might also be of interest to others.

Scot born Posted October 2, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks I will take a note of all questions and check them all out. If anyone knows before hand then all the better. Keep the questions coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victor150 Posted October 2, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I was on in july some good some bad. Food quality was not as good as previous marella cruises but it was the service in the MDR that really needs looking at ,long waits between courses and drink service was slow there it seemed a bit better upstairs so would try there as dont seem to have as many tables to look after. Shows were good and service in bars was fine but lacks atmosphere maybe due to some of the duos playing around the ship. I had a good holiday as was with friends but thought the discovery a better ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted October 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Cloudyrain, thanks for that info. Much appreciated. Would you also be able to add that info to the thread in the link above? It would finish it off and might be easier for others to find it if they are looking and using the search this forum option. Did you also have a look in the library? That was the second part of that thread question. If not, maybe Scot born could report back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cloudyrain Posted October 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I’m on it now and haven’t found the library so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot born Posted October 3, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi I have just checked the deck plans and can't see any library. Tui usually has this next to the coffee port, so I will be on a mission next week to find it if there is one. One more for my list. There is a mention of the attic on deck 8 maybe that's it, don't know will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selection of books and games in library with no librarian so held yourself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted October 3, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Cloudyrain, thanks again. Good to know there actually is a library as we have noticed over the years that they are becoming smaller with less of a book selection. I know HAL have been tweaking libraries on their ships too. We will head for the library when we are doing our wee explore of the ship shortly after boarding. I didn't know you are actually onboard now, and unless you are using free shore WiFi you must be using your precious (expensive and slow) onboard internet minutes answering questions. Really kind of you, but if it is costing you, Scot born will board in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
