Panama Canal aboard Seven Seas Mariner

[cruzndiz]

Hi All!

 

Thought I had better come up with a better title.....last year I named the thread "My Mariner Blog", not realizing that there is a ship named Mariner of The Seas which is NOT the ship I was taking.

 

My next cruise coming up is on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner and it will take me to Bonaire and Curacao before transiting the Panama Canal and then some ports in South America.

 

Feel free to join me on my journey!

Your blogs sound great and I look forward to reading more.

 

I love reading peoples expierences. You sound like a fun person to be around and it sounds like you have a great attitude about life and about cruising.

 

I read some of your blog about your last cruise and I loved reading it. I cant wait to go on my first cruise and try trivia and also bingo.

 

Your cruise expierences makes me want to cruise even more.

 

Thanks for sharing such a fun expierence I for one appreate it.

Thanks, Adri!

 

I really hope you do get the chance to try Regent some day....it's hard to even put into words what a great experience they provide.

 

In the meantime, keep enjoying my blogs!

Blog updated to showcase troubles with Meet & Greet. Sometimes you gotta wonder what "luxury" really means

Regent came through with Meet & Greet so disregard my previous post. :p

I happened onto your blog about Regent vs mass market lines. We just got back from a wonderful 2 weeks aboard the Holland American Zaandam (San Diego to Hawaii and back). Many of the negatives you list on the mass market did not occur on the Zaandam. I could start listing the comparisons, but 1/1/11 might be over by the time I was done.

 

Don't compare one cruise line with all cruise lines. No, I haven't been on the luxury line, but I have been on 7 cruises with 4 different lines. This last experience was the best.

 

So the truth is probably somewhere in between. Have a great trip. I probably won't see any reply, because I don't usually look at this thread.

I'm glad you enjoyed your HAL cruise. Actually I enjoy EVERY cruise I take (even the Mass Market ones) and I'm sure I'll be back on NCL again at some point because of my casino status but you really cannot ever compare luxury cruising to mass market or even premium. I hope you get a chance to try one of the luxury lines some day :D
