Just back from Explorer--Room 9390!

[KarenJune]

Just returned Sunday from the Explorer of the Seas--room 9390,

and it was WONDERFUL! I admit that when we first opened the door

I was sort of shocked by how small it was, but later realized it wasn't

that much smaller than other rooms in that catagory. ALSO---the balcony

was amazing! My friend and I were unanimous that if we went on the Voyager class ships again we would want that exact room, and that anything else would pale in comparison. We didn't have parts of the ship

sticking out in front of us and felt like there was barely anything between us and the ocean. Because we were on the corner, we could also see to the side and back, and only had neighbors on one side, instead of two.

 

Thank you so much to Bonnie Voyager, whose advice and pictures helped make our cruise such a great success.:)

Thanks for the awesome news!

 

I'm in 9690 (opp. side) on the Explorer May 4. Gettn' really excited now!

 

Got any fresh pics of the room?

 

 

[KarenJune]

Sorry, no pics yet. American Airlines lost our luggage, and we only

received it late last night. Have a great cruise! :)

Yes, we had this room in October. It is an awesome room. I didn't like the fact that you could hear the crew chatting from below.

We saw 9392, and that was good also.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow. I never heard anyone chatting from below. As a matter of fact,

we hardly ever saw/heard anyone out on their balconies (and we were on

ours a lot), and we used to wonder where everyone was. I guess we

were lucky! :)

Our group will be around 9354 area so I am glad you liked this part of the ship, I have a question is there direct access from that side of the ship to

the upstairs or do you have to take the elevator? another words how did

you get to the windjammer is there a pair of steps or do we have to go

down to the middle of the ship for the elevator.

:) :)

This is the only "drag" about cabin 9390 on Explorer. (And, maybe

it's sister ships as well?) There are no aft elevators or stairs back there, so you have to walk to mid-ship for them. Just before I left, I hurt my knee pretty badly and had a limp, and my friend had double knee surgery pretty recently, so I was sort of worried about the long walk. It turned out to be fine however, and we both appreciated walking off some of the calories. So, even with injuries, we would both book that room again! :)

I take it you didn't find the crew staircase. ;) I know, it says crew only. But it's a great way to get up to the Windjammer. By the time they see you, you've already come out of the stairway into the buffet.

 

BTW, any pics yet? I'll be in 9690 next week.

Hi there! I'd like to pass along the thanks to both you and Bonnie because after googling etc I found the cabin 9390 and will be staying in it 2/22-3/6 =) We're leaving from bayonne, nj and can't wait!
