kej1 Posted July 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2020 My husband and I are sitting on our deck in San Francisco watching the Mariner cruise by. Seems like it’s on its way to Los Angeles. It looks so lovely cruising along the bay. Looking forward to the day when we can safely cruise again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted July 11, 2020 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I hope it sails past us. I’ll be on the lookout from beautiful Santa Barbara! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ2002 Posted July 11, 2020 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Our first Regent cruise was on the Mariner, and that wonderful experience got us hooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuguley Posted July 11, 2020 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It would be interesting to know how many people are on board. I so often think about all of the wonderful crew members, where they are, what they are doing and how they are managing through all of this. Sure do miss them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrvlcruiser Posted July 12, 2020 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The Mariner has sailed past LA . . . so where is she going? Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted July 12, 2020 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) She may be doing the mandatory “exercise” to keep the ship going. Splendor went from San Diego to Mexico multiple times (from March until July) before heading to the east coast. In my opinion, the ships are not docked or tendered in a port in anticipation of their first sailing. I would think that the ships would want to be as close to Miami as possible since there will be a tremendous amount of restocking to be done prior to sailing. Once sailing has been approved, the ships can get into place. Just my opinion. Edited July 12, 2020 by Travelcat2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggy From the Marine Traffic site it looks like she may be heading to San Diego. Ship is just south of San Clemente Island heading almost due east (110).

xrvlcruiser Posted July 12, 2020 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Looks that way - she's pointed toward shore/San Diego. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFr Posted July 12, 2020 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Mariner might be heading to San Diego or Regent may have wanted Mariner to get more sea time before docking in Los Angeles. She is now south of San Clemente Island which is approximately 40 miles offshore. So there is plenty of time for Mariner to turn north and head to Los Angeles. We should know better in a few hours.

xrvlcruiser Posted July 12, 2020 #12 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) There is a Naval Vessel on fire in San Diego Harbor so it is unlikely that the Mariner will go there. Probably a welding error. Also, when I look at the tracking program, the ship seems to be headed north. Toward LA? Time will tell Peggy Edited July 12, 2020 by xrvlcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng75370 Posted July 12, 2020 #13 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The Norwegian Jewel left Oakland around the same time as Mariner, also headed for LA. It hasn’t docked in LA, but is hanging out nearby. Maybe awaiting an open berth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it on some forum lately, it seems to me that instead of just staying in ports and paying fees they decided to keep cruising from SF to LA and back. I wonder how long they will be doing that. In any case, oil is quite cheap this days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie, when I saw you had replied to this thread I was wondering if there had been an earthquake and you had ocean front property in Las Vegas! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marine map posted above shows it about 40 miles off shore. OTOH, that was 4 hours ago, so maybe it is back in view by now? I can't tell from here. 🤔 Unfortunately, the timing is off for it to be getting ready for my October booking that is now waitlisted. 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMARINER Posted July 13, 2020 #19 Share Posted July 13, 2020 As of 10:28 PDT the Mariner is at anchor off Long Beach harbor. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
