How do you pay for parking for a B2B cruise? 

Just tell them you're parking for a B2B and tell them the date you will be returning.

That has been a known issue since the restart - only the current sailing may list the shows.

Whatever.

The Mariner just has the standard cruise ship fare.  No Broadway show.

 

14 Things to Do on Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas (cruisehive.com)

Thanks for the information.  Haven't been on Mariner for several years and was hoping for a Broadway show instead of the production shows we've all seen dozens of times.

Only those on the current sailing are able to see that! I have a future booking on Mariner and even that doesn't have any info loaded yet.

Thank you for your input.  I'm sure you've read things carefully. 😉

Read my post real slowly and carefully.

Wow.  Scarcastic much?  I agree the app should list for the current sailing, but it doesn't list for sailings 3 weeks out.   Just asking if anyone who has knowledge could share.  

Thanks for posting.  I've been trying to get the 2022 ferry schedule with no luck until now.

Take the lower price and run!!!

Could someone on Mariner let us know what shows are playing in the theater?  Thanks.

A couple of suggestions.  Have you done the online check in for your cruise?  You should be able to make the change at that time.  Another suggestion is to go to the Crown & Anchor page (assuming you have C&A numbers for everyone) and make the changes there, then check later to see if they have been updated.  If all else fails, you'll have to call RC and have them do the corrections.

One needs to be careful extrapolating your experience to all cruisers - some folks here may start complaining when they didn’t get an email because you said they’d get one. Virtually all answers on CC need some qualifier and when it comes to RCI IT, assume it won’t happen. 

Well....EXCUSE ME!

No one should count on that. 

Just relating my experience.

You'll get an e-mail from RC letting you know check-in is open.  I've been able to check in as early as 45 days before the sail date and as little as 30 days.

No idea when but I read a rumour that the 2022 schedule will go into effect in mid May. 

I hope the ferry from Dockyard to St. George is running by May 18.  It's so much better than taking the bus.

Thank you a million times over.  I just saved $885.00 total on our 5/7 & 5/15 Mariner B2B.  Remind me to buy you a drink when we meet onboard.  I am still in shock never ever got this much on a price drop.

We owe you a drink too! We just called our TA and she got our fare reduced by $860 plus an added $50 OBC. Same room!!

BIG savings

Just a reminder... I do like chocolate martinis.😉

Don't buy your wi-fi package online.  You will not get the Diamond discount (equivalent of 2 days) when you purchase ahead of time, and they will not credit your onboard account for the $$.  Learned this the hard way.

Wow - although I get it - that is a rather obscure reference! 😉

I want that guy on my trivia team!

What port?  Baltimore is always very strict about check in time.  You get there early, you wait outside.  Doesn't matter if it's cold, windy or raining.   

One time Port Everglades was flexible, the next time strict.  Guess it depends where you're sailing from and the phase of the moon on that date.

If you booked through a TA, you have to go through them.  You could, however, try to change your dining time once onboard but you'd take the chance that your desired dining time is fully booked.

It's happened to me several times.  As long as you have an updated cruise receipt you're fine.  As with many things with RC, the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing.

Sorry to learn about this.  It was nice not having to deal with people hovering over food and  hundreds of hands (in various stages of cleanliness) touching serving utensils.

We're boarding this Saturday and have an 11 am boarding time.  People who boarded the last two cruises, including just this past Friday said they are definitely enforcing boarding times.  If you arrive early, you have to wait outside.

That is true.  We arrived just prior to our12:00 boarding time and got inside the building for the security screening quickly.  There were people who had the 12:30 time slot and had to wait outside until their allotted time.  It was February and it was cold, damp and windy - not pleasant to be standing in the elements, and they made no exceptions.  Strongly suggest you adhere to your arrival time to avoid the potential of standing outside in the rain.

I’d like to see ANY RC ship cruise out of Norfolk! I enjoyed cruises on both the Enchantment and the Grandeur from there. Both were great cruises. 

Ditto!  Celebrity Horizon and Holland America Maasdam also both home ported in Norfolk years ago, before they built the terminal.

I think a major deterrent is the fact that there is no parking at the pier.  It's smack downtown Norfolk and while there are a couple of parking garages nearby, they are not set up for long term parking.  The parking lot is remote and you have to be bussed to and from the ship, which is a major pain in the neck.
