Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I had a few guesses: • stanchions with downcast lighting (to reduce glare while still illuminating the deck) but a nighttime aerial video of the deck showed no light emanating from said stanchions • speakers • stanchions containing WiFi devices to help with Princess medallion tracking
  2. Has anyone seen a refund hit their credit card for the lost day on the Oct 3 voyage?
  3. I also like how the suites have real books on the bookshelves.
  4. Agree with your analysis / impression completely. Hopefully Explora figures out ways to make the experience better. The food is great. The staff is wonderful. The standing around like a doofus waiting for your meal is not. As you note, it’s an issue even when the ship is empty. I am not certain how certain stations will not be jammed when a full passenger compliment is onboard.
  5. Glad to see that E1 got the premier parking spot this time.
  6. I had room service two times while onboard (dinner and breakfast). The quality was better than any other line I’ve tried.
  7. Slick marketing clip from Explora: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyYf4YxrK2f/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  8. Interestingly Moet brut rosé was complimentary but not listed as such on the bar menus. A pleasant surprise.
  9. I’d like to note that EJ got it right and ALL pools were open yesterday during our wonderful, mostly sunny time at sea. And they were all used by happy guests. My transfer to The Edition was flawless and via private black SUV. Room ready at 10am. EJ certainly has issues, and I had my doubts about this amended day with early departure from the ship, but for me, Explora came through (I will assume I got lucky).
  10. Pleasantly surprised to see that my transfer to The Edition Hotel is via private sedan and not group bus. Thank you for doing it right, Explora.
  11. As an update: • Helios pool is open and looks great. • Conservatory pool remains closed. • Atoll pool remains closed. • Astern pool is partially filled and open.
  12. Will they have the pools open by then? At 9:30am on our first sunny day in a while, all pools are empty or closed. This despite the daily schedule showing the Conservatory Pool open at 8:00am.
  13. I have never asked for a modification on Seabourn, but isn’t TK known for being run by TK “himself” and not the cruise line? Even down to the specific volume at which background music is played?
  14. Roasted black sesame ice cream at Sakura = 🤤.
  15. One oddity: emergency pathway lighting has been on the entire voyage. Perhaps my memory is failing me, but I don’t recall this being active at all times on other ships.
