All Things Explorer of the Seas! -- Part 2

Who is the current cruise director on EOS? Last time I went it was this cute young Australian guy name Goodday Dave. I know he moved on though.

I THINK Jimmy Rhodes..though he is/did recently leave...so last i saw, RIchard Spacey is supposed to be coming....

I am also interested in seeing cruise compasses for an 11 nighter if anyone has it.

that's from a 10-nighter, but you can get some idea.....

Question on the teen clubs... At night, for the teen night club, are the groups aged 12-14 and 15-17 grouped together, or are they in the night club at separate times?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

please psot menus or where i can locate them thanks

I second that! :)

DW and I will be on the April 26th sailing, wondering if a bartender by the name of Troy from Trinidad is still on the ship, he was great, went to the Crown-n-kettle every night.

Hopefully you'll hop over to our roll call and join the fun

I was on last November and it was Luke Aerowsmith. The Year before I had Jimmy Rhodes. Both were great. By the end of the week I was in love with Luke.

Can anyone tell me if EOS has beer bags/buckets like other RC ships? If so, what exactly does it entail...beer choices, price, etc...

I've been on the ship 3 times 3 years in a row, no beer bags as of Nov 2011.

I thought that Richard Spacey was supposed to be the new CD...not sure though...

Last week's sailing had separate events for those age groups, with strict enforcement via seapass card. They swiped every card to check age. This sailing had over 1100 kids due to school holiday, so that may have been the reason for the separation. Not sure if they lump all the teens on less crowded sailings.

Hi BKNICHICK! Just wanted to let u know that my whole families coming on this cruise, including my seven year old cousin, as well as an 11 year old one, so they'll definitely be kids around your kids age! P.s. If you're not already a member, come join our roll call!

Concierge Question.....

I understand that Carlos is still the current Concierge, but this will change soon?

Also;

Has the Concierge ever contacted anyone prior to their cruise? Or, has anyone ever been successful sending him a e-mail and get a response? (Explorer)

This will be our 3rd time on the Explorer in a GS, and have never been contacted, nor ever had a need to attempt to e-mail him.

But this cruise I would like to make a request prior to our sailing.

Can anyone answer?

I contacted Carlos about 3 weeks ago for our upcoming cruise. He said he would contact me the cruise before ours to address our request.;) He was very helpful last year, hope he will be there.

Does anyone know how long Richard will be on EOS? We're heading out June 2 and absolutely LOVE how he runs things.

What time is early seating in the dining room? I thought I read that it was 6:00 and was changed to 5:30. Anybody recently onboard?

It was 6 p.m. for us too over New Year's. However, I believe on some of the offseason cruises before NYE (with a large proportion of older people) they made it 5:30 and 8:00 p.m. to accommodate the earlier schedules.

Has anyone stayed in any of the cabins on deck 2 forward. I noticed that the Chambers is above this area. Wondering about noise etc.

Hi, this is Troys partner, he will be on Explorer in April.. He has just come back on the ship from vacation;)

Anyone know which bars, lounges, clubs allow smoking - or don't if that is an easier way to approach it.

Thanks.
