Your Summer Home

Many of you have had the privilege of sailing on the MV Explorer, but many of you are new to this adventure. So, what does the ship actually look like? Herein, some pictures I've taken over the years that I hope will give you an idea of where you'll be spending some of your best-ever time.....

Overview: 7 decks
Deck 1: Not ours
Decks 2-4: Student rooms
Deck 4, center: Faculty "suites"
Deck 5: Timitz Square (Purser's Square, business offices, some faculty/guest cabins, main dining hall)
Deck 6: Classrooms, Library, Computer Lab, Bookstore, Campus store, informal dining, piano study lounge, Union)
Deck 7: Glazer Lounge (faculty, staff, lifelong learner quiet zone), pool deck, workout spaces, spa)

What will YOUR cabin look like? Most faculty members will be accommodated on Deck 4, center, in rooms that look like this: two twin beds (can be put together as a king), seating area, bathroom (shower), closet space, porthole window. They are comfortable, small, relaxing. Storage under the bed or in the closets (small, but adequate). Don't bring a lot of extra junk. You won't spent a lot of time in the cabin! Some faculty members (seniority, lottery) will be on Deck 5, with small balconies. (Please don't lobby - there is a system for the selection, and the Dean, alas, isn't the major player....).

SO, WHO'S EXCITED???!!!!
