scott2165 Posted November 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Anybody sailed this ship? Looking at her when she comes to Miami this summer. Will be me, my wife, and our 12 year old daughter. Seems like a lot of ship for a short cruise. That's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2017 We sailed Mariner several times when she was in Florida and LA. Very nice ship, and will be even nicer when fixed up before being based back in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datolim Posted November 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2017 She is presently homeport in Singapore and I am on her once a month. Needs to freshen up but notice the more serious vibration and deck chair ratling on top deck. Maybe cavition problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott2165 Posted November 21, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks guys. I'm leaning toward this cruise. We did the same itinerary last year on the enchantment and really want to try a new ship and new itinerary but this seems to be a good way to introduce our daughter to cruising and not break the bank.

Rare island lady Posted November 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Mariner was my first RCI cruise, celebrated my "half century mark" in style with a GS. Got spoiled immediately. ;) Will be wonderful to have her back home to PC where she started her cruising life. She was the only brand new RCI ship to be based here. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzeluver Posted November 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Mariner was also our first on Royal back when she was previously home-ported in Canaveral. Absolutely loved that ship and am so happy to have her coming back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awestover89 Posted November 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2017 John, how did you find rates for Jan. 2020? I'd love to cruise MR again after her update.

Canada/New England and East Coast to Caribbean (Bermuda mostly) are being released December 5th, and Alaska and Europe Phase 1 are being released December 12th.

ATG Posted November 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 21, 2017 We are considering a Mediterranean cruise in 2019, probably one with Barcelona. Would these be considered Phase 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted November 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 21, 2017 We are super excited to have a ship the size of Mariner for our short cruises! We have been on Adventure, Explorer and Voyager, but not Mariner, so really looking forward to it. Hubby loves the Promenade down the middle of the ship. We were surprised to get a bigger ship for our 3 night cruises but super happy about it. Have 2 booked for next fall, and will start booking our 2019 short cruises soon. Have our long cruises booked already, so just need to get the short ones for 2019 booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the Ovation Trans Pacific will be released with the Alaska cruises around Dec 11 We are Explorer refugees and we have to decide if we are taking Ovation by Dec 21, I believe.

No confirmation (to my knowledge, but I'm expecting to see the TAs around second week of December. We know Oasis Transatlantic will be May 10th and return will be end of October, because their first cruise from Miami is November 10th, 2019 and their last cruise from Port Canaveral is April 28th, 2019. Since the Europe cruises in between those are being released December 11th/12th I'd imagine the transatlantics will be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrzr Posted November 22, 2017 #19 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I booked Mariner for January 2020 also - though I’m going over MLK weekend, so pricing is at a bit of a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted November 22, 2017 #20 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Mariner was our first cruise, so a very special ship for us. We sailed on her four years in a row with our children, and our good friends and their kids. So many good times on that ship! Happy to hear she's coming back to Florida. Would love to sail on her again. When will she come back? Canaveral again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen reports of her coming back to PC, but so much is up in the air right now, I'm not sure anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 22, 2017 #25 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) John are you guys considering the Ovation TP? I am likely to book at least one leg of it. JC Not sure. We get $1,000 discount, but I paid just over 5 grand for a balcony and an inside for the whole trip on Explorer. Also trying to find a NZ cruise I can add to the front of the first leg. Then fly home from Hawaii. I can pretty much guaranty we won't do the second leg by itself. Unless it's really inexpensive. 😉 Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Edited November 22, 2017 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
