Hi,Dave,I didn't put this question to Scotsborn as she didn't go in many bars.Is there a similar panoramic bar like bar11 on the Explorer,cheers,Brian.

Yes it is in Indigo on deck 12 forward. Panoramic views around the ship through double height windows. It is much larger than Bar 11 on Discovery. The casino is also there and a late night disco in its own area. There ia also an outside deck above the bridge.

Original question was,

I'm on the Explorer out of Barbados in November.

Anyone know what's open on embarkation day? what are the eating and drinking options available? 🍹

Thanks in advance

 

Any answers?

Any answers? What time does your plane land and when is your boarding time.That might make a difference with venues being open.

I don't know what happened there but my reply was the last 2 sentances,lol.

Thanks Brian,

 

We land at about 15:00 so hoping to be on by about 17:00.

 

I know there are a few flights due after ours so will probably sail mid evening time. I was just wondering if the ship would be fully operational or not

I think the ship sails at 8pm. The MDR opens 6.30 but  you will have muster drill before sailing. We usually eat early or later so that we don't  have to interrupt our meal to attend the drill. The buffet will be open all day.

Can I just say that the Indio bar opened in the evening and the outside deck is the adult only veranda for sunbathing and there is not a bar attached to this, when sunbathing during the day there was always some one there with a drinks trolley and if you wanted something that was not on the trolley (cocktails) then they went to an other bar to get it and there was one time I waited 20 min and then ended up with 2 no hardship there. Every time I did venture in here we unable to get a seat  so just had a wander through and found a nice relaxing area elsewhere to enjoy. 😌

There is an outside deck attached to Indigo on deck 12. The exit is on the centre line of the ship opposite the bar. I was out there several times when leaving port etc. There is no seating or tables though. the adult only Veranda area you mention is on deck 14 directly above Indigo.
