darfee Posted February 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2011 We love sailing out of Bayonne on the Explorer, however it is definitely showing wear and tear. Does anyone know when it will be refurbished? Would love to book another cruise on it but would like to do it after a refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTeeNesters Posted February 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2011 If it happens, it will probably be AFTER it leaves Bayonne next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2011 She just had a drydock a year ago. She is "scheduled" for her next one in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we try to sail on newer ships now, however the Majesty was in pristine condition last year when we were on her and she was 18 years old at the time!

freedom1114 Posted February 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Keep in mind the Explorer is 11 years old and not the Oasis ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Explorer has one of the toughest jobs, all winter long sailing out of frigid air and water into the Caribbean and the warm water and back... The wood and the paint just can't stay pristine under those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise maniac 15 Posted February 14, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The Explorer has one of the toughest jobs, all winter long sailing out of frigid air and water into the Caribbean and the warm water and back... The wood and the paint just can't stay pristine under those conditions. i was on the explorer last summer, and boy does in need work. rust on the balconies, paint peeling, furniture all worn out. I won't go back on explorer cause of that. The windjammer is also outdated too. I would sail on mariner on navigator. Im sorry but 3 years is way too long for the explorer. i GUESS that means explorer is stuck with those old tube tv's for 3 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) why do they keep her up there year round and B) why don't they give her more regular drydocks :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
