Great review. We sailed on her last year (80s cruise), and this year we are taking our two grandsons so have booked the mini suite again. I don't think our boys will notice the rust (thank goodness) so it's a last hurrah for P&O from New Zealand for us :)
Thanks for watching! Mini suite would be ideal! I’m excited to do the 80s cruise. We booked it when we heard she was being scrapped because we new it would be our last chance without having to fly.
Thank you. I’m glad you are enjoying my videos so far. Explorer will be missed but thankfully it sounds like the restaurants are staying after they transition to Carnival.
Have been watching heaps of your videos lately as my wife and I are going on our first ever cruise on Explorer next week! A couple of questions, the cruise is fully booked so will the restaurants and bars be constantly crowded? Also, i'm a night owl so what time do the bars normally close? Hopefully they are less crowded in the later hours. Thanks for all the informative videos and do you have any other quick tips for a first time cruiser?
Thank you for watching and glad to hear you are finding them helpful. As soon as you get onboard, switch to the ship wifi, log in to the app and book your restaurants straight away. Unsure how busy they will be but on our cruise they weren’t too busy and we had incredible service. The Blue Room and the Explorer Hotel are great nighttime spots. They basically keep going as long as the crowd it there. I haven’t made it to close so not sure if/what cut off time is. All I can say is go there with an open mind and get involved. Enjoy every moment. Your first cruise will always be a special one. 🫶
Thank you for watching! The one we did in February was a comedy cruise but it was so short we only made it to one show. The other one was also a comedy show but Allira got sick so we barely left the cabin at all. We have another one in December. Depending on the kids how many comedy shows we will make it to on that one.
Why bother you making me depressed had 7 cruises since 2022 and this November the 22nd for 4 nites hope to meet you and family i did sign a pettition with adrian alsi donated hope sonething will get done Best part of the explorer is THE SUGAR BAR
Yeah I know, it’s sad and I had the brief ‘is it worth it?’ Moment but there is still 9 months of sailings and two more for cruises for us so that’s why I did it. The sugar bar looks amazing but I always skip it because of my dairy allergy. I do love that they always have at least one option I can have though. Thank you for signing, he has just had his federal petition pass today so I’m going to promote that one now. We are doing 15th of November so we just miss you.

Thanks girl. I forgot to mention how awesome the DJ was 😜
great review Ami. like your videos. Yes I would agree the food is nice in the waterfront . One of my favourites will be sadly missed.

@@CruiseCrazedFam oh really so waterfront is staying. That’s good news.
As far as we know so far yes. I recently did a video on the changes or changes that won’t be happening.
@@CruiseCrazedFam oh ok I think I missed that video but I will have a look, thanks Ami for keeping us all cruise fans informed. Keep it up👍
@@Joanneklonarisplease do! 😁

Thanks for the heads up. Have you ever done the Comedy themed cruise?

@@CruiseCrazedFam Thanks for that .. looking forward to more reviews
