Scot born Posted October 4, 2018 Author #27 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Enjoy your Cruise. We are on it on the 25th Nov so counting down the days.

Rare Cloudyrain Posted October 4, 2018 #28 Share Posted October 4, 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. Ah don’t worry, free 4g from my internet provider in port don’t worry :) It’s a lovely ship so I don’t mind spending a few minutes reassuring people :) The books seem to be a good mix (some passenger donated, others supplied by the ship). New and old (including new best sellers like Eleanor Oliphant is Fine) and a good range of factual and fiction. The board game selection is relatively good too if that’s something you like. Have a good holiday everyone: it’s a a good ship and overall really happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sistermags Posted October 6, 2018 #32 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hello Scotborn (me too) I've just noticed you are off today.Have a wonderful time. In case you do get my message.Could you please find out which decks you are allowed to smoke on.I feel like a broken record (remember them)as I have asked this question several times.I am on deck 12 and as an ex smoker I don't want to be near a smoking area as I can't stand the smell.I will be very grateful if you are able to find out. Going in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going in February. We have just got back from the Explorer, a lovely ship! Smoking is outside on the starboard side of Deck 6 and on Deck 12 forward overlooking the pool. Also on the outside deck aft of the Squid and Anchor. We hardly saw anyone smoking other than outside the Squid and Anchor in the evenings, and we never smelled smoke anywhere. Hope you have a great cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted October 8, 2018 #34 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Safe advice - My safe used a 6 digit PIN number which you set yourself but the previous occupier left it closed!. A trip to reception sorted the problem as they came and used their master PIN. I then happily unpacked and loaded the safe over 20 minutes or so. The safe now did not work. Another trip to reception solved the problem. If you leave the door open for an extended period the locking electronics resets and you have to go through the PIN input sequence again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dronnygirl Posted October 8, 2018 #40 Share Posted October 8, 2018 One thing we did like was lots of water machines near the cabins. We always take water out with us as we do a lot of walking and like to have water in the cabin at night. Never had to buy any water. It's worth taking a drinks bottle.
