Cigars On Cruise

To each is own!

The Disney cruises I have been on the kids mostly stayed on their deck (Deck 5 with all the kids stuff) or by one of the two pools that they can use. You would also see kids at mealtimes, but not a problem for me.

Kids are not allowed by the adult pool, where I hang out with my cigar.

I'm not much of a gambler, so the lack of a casino is not a big deal for me.

On the plus side, the service on Disney ships is top notch, the staff is very friendly and helpful, they have Broadway-class theater, and the ships are always immaculate.

The final thing for me is that I am a member of Disney's Vacation Club (Disney's version of a time-share) and I can use my time-share to cruise, which makes cruising a very good deal.

Makes it a no-brainer in my book as well!!

Has anyone been on RC's Explorer of the Seas?

We'll be on her July 3rd for five nights to Bermuda.

Dave,
Explorer is the sister ship to the Navigator which I have been on several times.
Beautiful ship.
My son has been on both and says they are mirror images for the most part.
You will have a blast on this ship.

Confirmed. Both of those ships are really nice above and below deck. I sometimes would forget which one I was on when I boarded them or really a lot of the sister ships from any line really.

BTW,
Very nice cigar lounge on the Navigator with a great booze selection.
They are open with service in the evening but open without service all day, any time you want to sit there and enjoy a cigar.
I believe the Explorer will be the same.

He was into girls then more than cigars.
He can tell you how the cabins he visited were.

I am sure it is identical to that of the Navigator and if it is, you are in for a nice treat, specially in the late evening. The two ships are literally designed identically so I see no reason why one would have it and the other not.
The lounge in the Navigator was spacious, relaxing, nicely done.
In the evening, cigars and high end booze for sale.
During the day, no one there to sell you anything but it is open and available for use.
If you need a drink during the day, plenty of nearby bars to get one and then go in the cigar lounge.
If you tip the bartender in the bar next door extra, they will keep checking up on you to see if need another drink.
