Thank you both - just found this via the power of google - so looks like it’s from 15th March to 7th May which would would tie in to what your both saying

Hi all Does anyone know when in 2020 Explorer is due to be amped? I’m sure it’s been mentioned on here before but can’t seem to find it. Many thanks Adam

Crocs??? Noooo - hideous things When we was on Adventure in April there was a chap who wore crocs with socks. Lovely chap he was - despite his horrendous footwear combo 😁

Yes likewise Joe. I’m relatively new to Cruising and I’m very surprised at the way this has been handled - and to increase costs of the only other RC ship sailing out of Southampton for the same period is terrible. They really have scored a massive own goal with the UK customers.

Awful isn’t it. The RCI UK Facebook page was appalling yesterday. First they publish that they cancelled all the Indy sailings as we know - in favour of Cococay cruises, which obviously caused uproar - then couple hours later they stick up a massive post promoting Cococay - talk about rubbing it in. There is some very annoyed customers out there and rightly so.

That is terrible. Feel for those who have already booked, they probably had great deals - and will now be fleeced when trying to rebook. Poor show

Yes of course, just felt this action is a little underhanded

The cost of sailing out of Southampton is exceptionally high, so much so that I have also been looking at flying across to Barcelona to sail from there in 2020 - even with flights and an overnight stay it works out cheaper. However...since yesterday the price of the cruise I was looking at (from Barcelona in Aug 2020) on Allure has suddenly increased over night by £210 ($280 approx) per person! Barcelona is obviously nearest RC departing port to Southampton and Royal will be fully aware that they will probably get some knock on bookings as a result of moving Indy out of the UK, the fact they have pushed prices up for these sailings is pretty calculated in my opinion.

Cool looking can!

A widget Guinness isn’t too bad - I’ve actually got the Guinness Surger unit at home which replicates the ‘surge’ when combined with the specific Guinness Surger cans - still no replacement for a well poured pint tho!

Yes Twangster, it was from Southampton. So maybe a departing UK thing? I assume then that I should not expect to see draft Guinness available when we are on Adventure in a couple of weeks time!

They had Guinness on tap in the pub on Indy last summer. However it wasn't poured correctly for either of the 2 pints I tried. Maybe I should of had a word with the barman and advised him how it's meant to be poured (rather than just straight up) but the bar was far too busy.

Lol - thanks tho Spiralqueen - least I know for definite now!

Thanks Twangster, very helpful as always

Suite guests don’t get access to Sun deck? I thought it was Jnr Suites that didn’t get access?
