Rare bsbcgirl Posted May 6, 2012 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Smeck, Did you drive down? If so, did you leave that morning or the day before? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeck Posted May 6, 2012 Author #15 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Smeck,Did you drive down? If so, did you leave that morning or the day before? Thanks. Drove down the morning of the cruise. Left around 9am arrived just after 11. We live in central CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bsbcgirl Posted May 6, 2012 #16 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Smeck, We're leaving the morning of the cruise (a Thursday) from my daughter's house in West Hartford. We have never driven to Cape Liberty before. We are planning on leaving around 8:00 am. Does this sound good? Is West Hartford considered central CT? I was expecting about a 3 hour drive with traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeck Posted May 6, 2012 Author #17 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I live in Bristol leaving at 8am should get you to the port in plenty of time. I would suggest leaving around 9am to avoid the NYC rush hour traffic. That worked perfectly for us. You can't get on the ship until 1130 the earliest anyway.

roscoegirl Posted May 6, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Just got off the Explorer and had a great cruise. I'll be more than glad to answer any questions. A short synopsis will follow within a couple of days. Hello, Hubby and I will be on the Explorer in late June. I noticed from another thread, the poster who had just left the Enchantment, stated the MDR was open on embarkation day for lunch. Was this true on the Explorer also?? Just wondering if they have started this for other ships. Thanks and hope you had a great cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

family cruisers Posted May 6, 2012 #21 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I am so happy that I caught your review while reading someone elses post. In all of my years on cruise critic, your review, is by far the BEST I have ever read. The way it's all put together with the right pictures in between made it so pleasurable, thank you !!! You have a great looking family and I commend you on your weight loss. Your purple gown was gorgeous, and you worked it girl!!! Again, I'm so happy to have caught this review. It truly is the best on cruise critic. We're going on the Explorer Sept. 30th to Bermuda. I haven't been on EOS in about 8 years, but we sail to BDA every fall. Looking forward to trying RCCL all over again. We were on Explorer last November. I have a review link in my siggy...lots of pictures in a day by day format. We're looking to book her again 11/13.

DonnaK Posted May 6, 2012 #24 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I just read on another post that there were 3 formal nights on your cruise??? Which nights were they? We're doing the 9 day Explorer at the end of the month and just want to make sure we pack accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing the 9 day Explorer at the end of the month and just want to make sure we pack accordingly. The second night, fourth night, and day eight. It caught us by surprise we thought there were only two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
