Explorer of the Seas is now one month out to start sailings on November 7.  Still no check-in, not supported in the app, and an agent told me just now that the situation is still “fluid.” It also, as far as I can see, hasn’t done test cruises yet. 

 

How close to sailing date have they been cancelling sailings/itineraries?  I’m referring to the period since the restart during Covid times.  Is it reasonable to expect they’ll contact us a week prior and say sorry, you’re sol? 
 

it seems to me that 30 days away, things should not be fluid and they’re either going or not.  
Passengers invested a lot of effort securing test kits, airfare, hotels, vaccinations….is it too much to expect at least one email or notification on their website confirming it’s a go?

This far out in the COVID era, yes.

Looks like some 7 Nov Explorer folks are getting e-docs today, but still no check-in.

eDocs here. I think we are a GO!

Sea Dog - I checked into doing a Private Excursion for our group in St. Kitts.  They went thru a considerable effort to look at options.  If there was a reasonable chance that we were NOT going, I don't think they would have investigated.  I believe we are a go!

That is GREAT NEWS. I’m sure you’re getting psyched now. E-Docs are check-in, no?

No eDocs are not part of the check-in. But they signal the start of the check-in process. I expect check-in to be available any day now.

The App is now working for Explorer.

And I'll look forward to yours also...We'll be on for a B2B March 20th.

Yes Ashland, if nothing happens, and we GET to cruise, I hope to do another review, as I have been doing this for several years.

My family is on the Explorer 2/20/2021. We are also anxiously waiting to see how all the November cruises go and excited to read the trip reviews!

Let's ALL hope/pray that we WILL be able to do our upcoming cruises! 🙂
