Converted to cruising Posted February 1, 2019 #27 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi. Will post on here when I get back re Explorer 2. I’m on deck 5 outside cabin but don’t know which cabin yet. May well book one for the Caribbean cruise when I’ve sussed them out in April/May. Will definitely be up for that drink and will have even sampled all the bars by then too!! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Magoo Posted February 1, 2019 #28 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Cheers for that - will look out for it - we are deck 4 inside when we go in November/December - yip first round is on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini77 Posted February 3, 2019 #29 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We go on the 9th April. I’m sure there will be a few niggles being so close to her maiden voyage, but AI, adults only and in the school holidays for a teacher sways the vote. Can’t wait. All the other Thomson cruises I’ve been on before Marella were great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizzy-Jo Posted February 18, 2019 #33 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I went on my first solo cruise last year on the Dream. I was a bit apprehensive but thoroughly enjoyed it. You will get an invitation from the Social Hostess for a meet up with other solo cruisers. You don’t have to attend if you don’t want to. I did and found it very informative. For the main dining room, just go when you are ready, there’s no set time. A few evenings, a few of us solos arranged to meet up and eat together. Altogether, had a lovely time. Enjoy.

Captain Lucky Posted February 21, 2019 #35 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Booked to go October Adriatic Splendours in single inside cabin. Sailing solo first time. Got premier plus drinks package. Looking forward. Theyve dropped messina port visit for Giardini Naxos. Anyone else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted February 21, 2019 #36 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Giardini Naxos looks like a tender port as it only has a short jetty offering excursions etc. hopefully I will be aboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BACRUISER Posted March 4, 2019 #37 Share Posted March 4, 2019 According to Google she is in Cadiz Spain being refurbished she was last at sea in Aug 2018 which would suggest a substantial refit to get up to facilities listed for her on Tui website. Strongly tempted by her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lucky Posted March 5, 2019 #40 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Are you going on the Adriatic Splendours cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BACRUISER Posted March 5, 2019 #41 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just now, Captain Lucky said: Are you going on the Adriatic Splendours cruise? Yes really looking forward to it. Will be our first cruise. It was the itinerary that sold it to us in the end. Of all the ports of call we have only been to Naples (bit of dump) and Venice (stunning). We are quite independent travellers and figure we can self guide the other ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinchad Posted March 10, 2019 #46 Share Posted March 10, 2019 BIG FAVOUR PLEASE!!!! On the Explorer 2 in August for our Honeymoon. Please can someone get the details of the social host/ess an email would be good. I want to try and plan something special for my new wife. We got engaged on the Dream in 2017 and the Social hostess helped me to arrange that. We then dined with the captain and his wife which was awesome. Also get some pictures up can't wait to see what she's like inside. Thanks in Advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
