I have been looking at the deck layout on explorer 2 deck 12 , has anyone stayed in cabin 1237 junior suite, if so is the balcony shaped or flat fronted , I looked on the cruisemapper and it shows as flat fronted but I believe this is prior to its refit and I can not find out anywhere if it has been changed since refit, we stayed on the explorer and had a shaped balcony but this took quite a lump of the balcony, I asked the TA but they could not give me any information.
many thanks

We had a deck 12 Sky suite (now Junior Suite) when Explorer 2 was Celebrity Century and they are flat fronted as in the picture, not a great picture but you will get the idea.
I believe Celebrity changed the design between Century and Galaxy (Marella Explorer) when these cabins were added to the ships.
They are all flat ( apart from the first one 1201). Hopefully you can see on this photo!
Thank you Riocca and Spike 11 for taking the time to answer my question, I must have been looking on an old site ( or another cruise ship !! ) Spike yes I can see the balconies on it . Many thanks
We are looking at Explorer 2 now at Newcastle.
Thank you for taking the time to post the photo. I can see the balconies and as someone else mentioned they are all flat fronted. I obviously was looking at a different ship layout ! Many thanks

Carnival, Royal Caribbean and more change cruise itineraries amid Hurricane Ernesto
Cruise lines are changing itineraries in an effort to avoid Hurricane Ernesto . The storm brought heavy rain and wind to Puerto Rico Wednesday, leaving close to half the island without power and prompting flash flood warnings. The Virgin Islands also felt the impacts.
Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Pride ship, which left from Baltimore for a Bermuda cruise on Sunday, moved its visit to the island up by one day, arriving on Tuesday and leaving on Thursday, the cruise line said.
Carnival Magic skipped a planned stop in San Juan on Wednesday and will make an additional stop in Nassau in the Bahamas on Friday. The ship left Miami on Sunday for an Eastern Caribbean cruise.
“As the safety of our guests and crew is our priority, we will continue to watch the storm and factor in guidance from the National Hurricane Center, U.S. Coast Guard and the local port authorities to provide timely updates as more information becomes available,” the cruise line said in a news release .
Norwegian Cruise Line rerouted Eastern Caribbean cruises on its Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Breakaway ships to the Western Caribbean, according to a spokesperson. The ships departed from Miami on Monday and Sunday, respectively.
Their new itineraries include Roatan in Honduras, Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico and Harvest Caye in Belize (Sky will also stop in Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios in Jamaica).
Was your cruise itinerary changed?: Here's what to do next
Norwegian Joy , which left for a Bermuda cruise from New York on Sunday, arrived at the island on Tuesday, one day ahead of schedule. While the ship will spend two nights at the Royal Naval Dockyard as planned, it will depart Thursday, a day earlier than planned.
“The safety and security of our guests, crew and the communities we visit is a top priority,” a spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
Royal Caribbean International’s Rhapsody of the Seas will make planned stops on its Southern Caribbean cruise in a different order, but no ports were canceled, according to a spokesperson for the line’s parent company, Royal Caribbean Group . The ship departed from San Juan on Sunday.
Icon of the Seas , which departed from Miami on Saturday, is sailing a Western Caribbean itinerary rather than an Eastern Caribbean cruise as planned. Stops include Cozumel, Costa Maya and Roatan.
Symphony of the Seas, which left from Bayonne, New Jersey , for an Eastern Caribbean cruise on Friday, will also visit Nassau rather than Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.

And as I recall no bar. 🥲 It’s an outside seating area for the market place buffet.

If you are looking for outside space away from the pool to sunbathe, there are plenty of sunbeds on the veranda. It's much quieter and you can always get a sunbed

Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson) Review of Explorer 2. We have just arrived home today after our first cruise for over 30 months. We have sailed with Marella several times pre pandemic so it was impossible not to compare then with now.

21. August 6, 2009. #7. Posted April 28, 2023. Hi, we are on Explorer 2 in a fortnight, I will let you know about the sunbed situation! We love Marella and were on Discovery 2 in September. Generally as someone has said above, people are so selfish with towels on beds and leaving them empty, it drives me mad!

Hi, we were on Explorer 2 on our last cruise and had balcony cabin 1130 on deck 10. It was almost at the back but the balcony wasn't overlooked, was very quiet and was handy for the buffet for a quick breakfast. We had a double bed but I'm sure many can be split into twins, you'd have to check.
many thanks. We had a deck 12 Sky suite (now Junior Suite) when Explorer 2 was Celebrity Century and they are flat fronted as in the picture, not a great picture but you will get the idea. I believe Celebrity changed the design between Century and Galaxy (Marella Explorer) when these cabins were added to the ships. Edited August 12 by Riocca.

Posted April 15, 2019. Explorer appears to be slightly larger than Explorer 2, Gross Tonnage 76988 v 71545 , 1924 v 1814 passengers and 962 v 907 cabins.

GOQ. 431. May 31, 2017. Wales, UK. #2. Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Purely a subjective opinion of course, I prefer Discovery 2 esentially the same ship as Discovery, to Explorer 2. Discovery has a better overall layout, no void on deck 5, a proper full height Atrium with a nice bar at its base, a full around the deck running/walking track and ...
The Explorer 2 is a very nice ship but perhaps lacks the "wow" factor of Discovery. The atrium in comparison was very small. However Indigo was very popular in the day to sit and read in a light and airy. Full deck width Coffee Port unlike the wraparound style on Discovery.

I believe Celebrity changed the design between Century and Galaxy (Marella Explorer) when these cabins were added to the ships. Edited August 12, 2021 by Riocca.
I just tried a dummy booking for the 3 seas explorer cruise in October. 4 in one cabin was £1001 each, whereas 2 cabins with 2 in each was £1073 each. Those prices don't include the £400 discount, which for that particular cruise, you would make 2 separate bookings, in order to benefit from £400 off each booking Edited April 20, 2022 by ...
