Well I'll keep your secret if you keep mine. I found a few hidden passageways myself that made getting to my cabin from certain parts of the ship much more convenient than the "traditional" routes.

According to the website, they're the same:

Voyager: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findac...ipProfile=1080

Explorer:
http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findac...ipProfile=1081

It shows elevators in the aft of Explorer too. But I have been on Voyager 3 times before, and I'll be on Explorer in 7 DAYS!! so I can check on it and find out for sure. I don't think it would make sense not to have any aft elevators on Explorer, though.

Oh!!!! There is definitely aft elevators!! I didnt mean to come across as saying there were none. This is what I meant... example:
The elevators right next to Cafe Promenade- On Explorer there are two, one glass one facing the centrum and one inside directly next to the cafe. (Its been a yr but we were on Voyager twice and we remember two centrum and 2 inside elevators in that area...) I have to look at my pics from last year..but do you recall the same?? I think I should look through my voyager pics! lol

I've been on both twice.

Differences....
VOS has a car EOS has a motorcycle with side car
VOS has a chandelier in the dining room EOS has a sunburst on the ceiling
VOS has a glass pyramid on the pool deck (like a prism) EOS has a sculpture of dolphins
VOS has the Vault EOS has the Chamber
I won't go on about the names of places.

They are just about exact.

I used deck 2 specs for all 3 first generation voyager class ships just to show elevators. The Voyager, Explorer and Adventure are sister ships and 1st generation Voyager Class ships and construction is the same with minor differences in bar names and decor. The Navigator and the Mariner are second generation Voyager class ships and there are differences between first and second generation shipsElevator banks are found in two locations forward and aft although not real far aft. Some cruiseships have 3 elevator locations but there are only 2 found on these ships.

hehhehe....Ok, lets sit back and think. I see some of you are still here trying to solve my dilemma/mystery...lol, of course there are elevators fwd AND aft! It isnt a question of Elevator banks, lol *checking my clueless meter= nope not clueless*,lol the question was how many in each....? Not the atrium ones.

I need to ask DH to give me April 06 Voyager pics on dvd- I cant find them on my HD. lol DH and I both recalled the same...2 interior right fwd on vos and 1 interior right fwd on eos. No biggie, really- just something we noticed...Maybe Im not explaining it well enough for others to understand what I mean, sorry.

Has anyone watched the dvd "The Making of the MegaShips"?
We're on our second time watching it! Its amazing and fascinating..you gotta love it!!
