Well that didn't take long did it. It's barely been a month since our trip on Liberty of the Seas and we've already booked our next cruise. We'll be taking a 9 night Bermuda and Caribbean cruise on Explorer of the Seas from Bayonne, NJ which is less than an hour drive from home.
Now, we had every intention of booking next year on Allure of the Seas but this was a better deal and no long 2 day road trip to Florida. Sounds familiar doesn't it? This year we had planned to go on Oasis of the Seas but found a much better deal on Liberty. Some day we will get to go on one of the Oasis ships.
This will be our second 9 night cruise (first was 2004 on Voyager of the Seas) and our second trip on Explorer. Our first on Explorer was in 2001 during which my beautiful wife and I were married onboard. That was a great cruise. We will also be staying in a Junior Suite for the second time on Explorer. We're hoping to start maxing out our Crown & Anchor points (suites count for 2 credits) so we can get to 10 cruise credits and become Diamond members. This will jump us from 6 points to 8.
This will also be the oldest ship we've been on in a long time. Explorer of the Seas turns 10 years old next month but from all I've heard, she is still in great shape. That's good news.
The itinerary is pretty unique as it leaves from NJ and stops first in Bermuda. We haven't been to Bermuda since our 1998 trip on Celebrity's Horizon so that will be a nice change. After that we stop in St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and San Juan. Should be fun.
241 days and counting!
