Explorer in 10 days

[oldnotup]

We are going on the Explorer in 10 days from NJ to New England and Canada.
Has any one gone this route and is there any thing I should see or miss. We are going with 3 other couples.
This is my first north cruise and I want to see the difference between north and south.I think I am leaning towards liking southern cruises better.

Hi oldnotup!

We are new to RCCL and this itinerary. Please post a review when you return. We will be sailing on the same ship on 10/15 and will be very interested in how your cruise went.

HI Eurodi, I will be happy to post after we get back. That is if we even go. There seems to be a lot of storms brewing and I am watching them.

I have been on Explorer O/S twice. Also Navigator and Voyager.

Things not to miss... Sailing under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (we did it in zero visibility fog) and don't miss the ice skating show. :clap:

Things to pass on... The art auction (except to stop by for a free glass of champagne) and the shopping talks. :duh:

Almost time! Hope the weather holds up for your cruise. Have a great time!

I don't know if Portland is one of your stops but if it is when we went a few years ago we took RCL whale watch tour. It was the best whale watch we were on. The capt. was very successful is finding pods of whales and it also found groups of dolphins and made circles with the boat because they like to play in the circles of water. Have a great time.
