We sailed the Voyager in 2001 and absolutely loved it. I also prefer the Western Carribean. Next spring we are planning on sailing the Explorer. I know that there are some slight differences. Does anyone know what they are?

<BR>Hi Dawn,<BR><BR>RCCL spent less money decorating the Explorer. The mobiles in he atriums are built with modern junk. The beautiful multi-thousand dollar chandelier in the dining room is no more. <BR><BR>What the Explorer does have is the Oceanographic Institute in place of the radio/tv station and museum.<BR><BR>The Explorer did not have the infamous Koontz Couple for the ice shows.<BR><BR>Don't let the above deter you. It is still a destination ship.<BR><BR>Enjoy,<BR><BR>Paul

Hi Paul, do they have an ice show? Also I remember when we sailed the Voyager they had a "hockey game" between staff and kids. Do you know if they have that as well. I have a "kid" asking.

Explorer has an ice show and it is awesome! I don't know how it compares to Voyager but I was very impressed with it.

<BR>The two ice shows on the Explorer and the two on the Voyager are just about identical. Do not miss either show on either ship. <BR><BR>I do not know Dawn if there will be a hockey game.<BR><BR>Paul
