ATG Posted October 3, 2022 #128 Share Posted October 3, 2022 We stayed at the Country Inn for our May cruise on Mariner. Hotel was nice, but it was one of the worst included breakfasts I have ever eaten. We agreed next time we’d drive down to McDonald’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, this one has been years in the making, as we have not sailed since the fall of 2019. We, like many of you, have cancelled far too many cruises but now it is almost go time for us. Owen is staying home this week with Grandma Sharon. He is now is grade 10. He’s still busy with sports, with three currently taking place. Baseball tryouts for next spring, hockey practice in preparation of the new season, and high school football. He is the team kicker and also plays on defence. Then there is the all important school work, he needs to keep up his 85% average from last year. For those who haven’t seen him since our last live review in March of 2019, he has grown up a lot. This is him with my mom last week, after their football victory. They are 2-0 so far and are last year’s city champs. As for baseball, his team ranked third place in the province for their age, at the end of this season. I think that would be comparable to state finals for the Americans reading along. Then there is Lucy. She isn’t coming with us but she just celebrated her 10 year anniversary of living on our farm. She acts like she could not care less, but I know she is jealous. You going somewhere without me? I can't believe I missed the start of an @A&L_Ont live review! That'll teach me to be off CC for three days. What was I thinking. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc1025 Posted October 3, 2022 #138 Share Posted October 3, 2022 We sailed Mariner in 2010 before all the upgrades. A great ship, have fun everyone. Loved Labadee as well, if you have the chance its the best zip line in the caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 3, 2022 Author #139 Share Posted October 3, 2022 So, we have sailed. We are at sea. The Internet is kind of slow so photos might be posted later on tonight. Lunch at playmakers was very good. Sail away was a lot of fun. Many people are out dancing and partying. There’s a few good photos I’ll have to share when the chance arises. We’re going to chops for dinner tonight at 6:30. Lisa wants to go to the silent disco tonight and we also have the ice show at 9:15. I hope I can make it. lol A few beverages have been consumed. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 4, 2022 Author #143 Share Posted October 4, 2022 We had lunch at Playmakers. Photos are not up to par with @Sea Dog but you get the idea. Blue Hawaiian.

potatotomato Posted October 4, 2022 #149 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Cant wait to read this. Our canceled cruise in May 20 was a similar itinerary with just the 2 private island stops. It seems like it would be a very relaxing trip that I hope I can book again some time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
