This will be our first RCI cruise and the pics and info are a great help. We are looking forward to a great time. Thanks again, Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packslikecrazy Posted April 12, 2005 #102 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hey...........Have a ball. A group of us (6) will be on the Marnier on May 15th and we're simply counting the days. Let us know how the Ice Show is and how the Shows (in general) are. I've been on the Navigator of the Seas and the Explorer of the Seas and absolutely LOVED them both. Hope the weather is good and I hope you have a marvelous time. Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slavechild 2 Posted April 12, 2005 #103 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Radio......great job on keeping up with the reviews. How was the day in Labadee ? Is the aqua park worth $15 for 50 minutes for the kids ? We will be on the Thanksgiving sailing of the Mariner this year and the countdown is going sooooo slow...I eagerly await the next day of reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on the Thanksgiving sailing of the Mariner this year and the countdown is going sooooo slow...I eagerly await the next day of reviews Hi Slavechild! Just off the Mariner and I can tell you that the 50 minutes at the waterpark was the highlight of the cruise for my son (9). My daughter (11) enjoyed it too! We did it first thing in the am (10 am) and they nagged to do it again after lunch! Worth the $15 I think!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your free ticket & into the theater fairly early to get good seats. (altho I think any seat is pretty good) The other shows are good as well, but IMHO I thought the ice show was better.

We have a "Roll Call" .....Join our thread at: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=73372&page=1&pp=25 (first page) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=73372&page=13&pp=25 (last page as of 12apr) Radio: All I can say is YOU ROCK!!!! I enjoyed your thread in January and now with < 5 weeks until my first cruise... You STILL rock!!!!! Thanks for all the update, and assistance. Do you usually do the western route ? We are heading east (MAy 15th MOS), mosty due to timing and working around schedules and price. But like others are saying... how do you afford it? 2 cruises on Mariner and its not even MAY!!! Do I sound envious? OK, I shalt not covet. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianandtanya Posted April 12, 2005 #111 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just saw your post. I Haven't, but will do so. You can add 4 adults to that list. Thanks for the link. Radio, have u noticed any significant changes that stand out over your last 3 cruises? Just noticed that we are on the same cruise. Have you registered for the Meet & Mingle? The June 12th Mariner is short of the 25 needed for the Meet & Mingle. Here'e our roll call thread. :cool: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=49901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devvt Posted April 12, 2005 #112 Share Posted April 12, 2005 OrangeinIndy: The name should have been a giveaway, but it wasn't until I saw Otto at the bottom of your post that I got the Syracuse connection - nice to see another SU person here. We are huge fans - our son was the head men's basketball manager for two years (he graduated in 2002 - one year too early!) and our daughter is a junior at Syracue and is the head women's basketball manager - so we get to a lot of games at the Dome and Manley each season. We'll be sailing on the Mariner next week - I see you have a few more weeks to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2kids Posted April 12, 2005 #113 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Radio, This thread is great! We sail on the MOS the day you get into port. Our 2 kids are going with us. It's been a real treat for them to see the pictures. They can't wait!:D My DH and myself sailed on the Voyager in 2000. That was our first cruise. This one is our second. I'm soo happy we decided to stay with the Voyager class ships. What can you tell me about Adventure Ocean? Our kids will be spending quite some time there. They are 7 and 9. Is it something that will keep them interested? Well, still need to pack, we leave Friday. Can't wait for the sun and warmth!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinoh Posted April 12, 2005 #114 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Radio: Thanks for all the great pix. Brings back such memories. We sailed in March- Eastern. The ship looks the same. The blue sky & ocean so inviting. Wish I was back there again. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted April 12, 2005 Author #115 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hello Everyone...... We have just set sail for Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We should be there in just 300nm, or around 9am. The weather was perfect today, with sunshine, and warmth (about 85f)....we couldn't have asked for a better day. I left the ship at about 10am, with no wait for a tender.... I took lots of pics, but there seems to be a problem with my server (clubphoto.com) I need to upload the pics to them before I post them on Cruise Critic. I'm sure I will have the problem solved soon. Tommorrow is the Crown and Anchor party, where I will have a chance to talk to the Captain. I have been trying to work out every day....but i think I will go twice today;) Tonight is the night for the "Quest"...and afterwards the Dancin through the Decades...in Studio B. Todays free movies are "Shrek 2" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" mom2kids...Adventure Ocean is very popular with the kids, they have alot to do and seem to enjoy it ! I haveall of the Adventure Ocean Compass's posted on my Cruise Photo Page...Just click below ! The have expanded the AO space onboard Mariner. ORANGEinINDY...We usually go Western, but were on Mariner last May 10, 2004 Slavechild 2... The Aquapark was packed today ! I think it must be worth it.... mtchg...Thanks for the comments. The time is my pleasure...I have been doing this for years and love it ! AlisonoftheSeas...I have a few different camera's, bot this one is a Sony DSCP9. It is a 4 MegaPixel, with a 3X Optical Zoom. It is actually a couple of years old. I take 100's of pics but only use the best ones, sometimes..... I am hoping to get my pics on line tonight,,,,Keep your fingers crossed ! !
