  1. Tip time...if you do not have your heart set on getting off the ship, then stay on. Barely any lines this morning. Kids have already swam, gone on slides, climbed the Lucky Climber, all with little to no lines and crowds. Now they are playing ping pong with no one around. Pool crowd: https://www.pscp.tv/w/bkLu5jF4TlFhYVJPT2V3UWJ8MXlwSmRZcnlkTXF4V-UMsaTQMSL0Xm-UHWHQkWBApUiyKLxJX8QZc4x0gfn1 Slides: https://www.pscp.tv/w/bkLvJjF4TlFhYVJPT2V3UWJ8MWRqeFhuQXllcGpHWvDD25g5QBjwSrcrGrinmTaU-smcNXai_uYl7dYGnzVc
  2. You're welcome. We are gathering lots of ship photos today and will try to post tomorrow or Thursday. Stay tuned ? I passed it along that Ms. S wished her a happy bday ? ^^this. As usual, you said it way better ?
  3. Day 2 Nassau: No plans to get off the ship today. Getting ready to head off to Deck 12 to check out the slides. We had breakfast in the MDR today. I found myself missing CK this morning. There is a sit down menu for breakfast but also a small section of cold cuts, bread, and fresh fruit. Here is the menu. I actually forgot to take food pics ? We ordered the Express Breakfast. It was ok. The best part was that we did not have to fight the crowd in the WJ.
  4. Well nothing compares to Oasis class but this ship definitely has an Oasis class feel to it with the new additions. IMO, it is perfect for the first time cruiser who wants a taste for cruising. We are having a great time so far. No complaints. Thank for following along. Today D9 turns 10 so it's all about swimming, slides, and Sorrento's pizza. ?
  5. Do you mean the panoramic suites on Deck 12? And yes those are brand new too. The room is surprisingly spacious. I expected it to feel not as wide as it is. Not sure how the square footage compares but it even feels slightly bigger than the Junior suite we had on Anthem. The balcony also feels a bit deeper. Also, regarding the menus, @PRC had posted in a FB group that they have a 7 night menu that they rotate through in no particular order. It may not be your Night 1 menu. If you scroll through the FB insiders posts to the beginning of July when he was on, he posted all 7 menus. However, the menu for dinner is posted on screens outside all the dining rooms in the morning, so you could check and move stuff around. D12 is a huge pasta fan. She already said that she might be getting that again this week.
  6. Here are some photos Hubby took during sail away from Mariner today, August 13, 2018.
  7. Junior Suite Room Tour: There are 4 JS that were added in on Deck 11 during the latest dry dock. Really happy with our choice here. The cabin and all furnishings and cabinetry are all brand new. For those of you not on Periscope, here's the link to the Room Tour: https://www.pscp.tv/w/bkJOUDF4TlFhYVJPT2V3UWJ8MW5BSkVRQk9ZblZKTPJ4EgsrNCH6pR_ZOyLjaIrSqjMM8-s2ThA9b6yT1Af9
  8. We are having a great time! No complaints so far! Thank you for your kind words @Floski. And post those mani pics when you cruise in November. ?
  9. Ice Under the Big Top was one of the more entertaining ice shows that I've watched. I did not scope it but the clown scene was one of the funniest! Make sure you make an effort to watch this one if you sail Mariner. For those not on Periscope, here's a short scope from the show. Oh, and my kids absolutely loved it! D9 wants to meet the cast and get autographs. I told her to put that on her Genie list for March ? https://www.pscp.tv/w/bkI0uzF4TlFhYVJPT2V3UWJ8MU9kSnJweWFFenBLWP91lSskLgRxbpkJkzFV44GOx-Vm4L3FqQzZSvbgT1gq
  10. For those who have not sailed out of Miami, it is beautiful! One of my favourite ports to sail from.
  11. I know! I told D12 that was one of @Matt's favourite dishes! And yes, still alive and smiling after MDR. Actually, it was quite empty. We ate from 6-8pm and it was not even 1/2 full. We missed our reserved time but we did not have to wait at all when we did show up. I asked our waiter about this and he said people on this ship tend eat much later.
  12. Speed test with VOOM for @twangster and the rest of the tech people who are curious.
  13. MDR Dinner Night 1: Mushroom Soup: Delicious! French Onion Soup: Caesar Salad: Spaghetti Bolognese: Kids Chicken Nuggets: Fish & Seafood Mash: this was quite good, but a bit cold. Prime Rib: Hubby said this was not good as it was quite dry. Warm Hazelnut Chocolate cake: Key Lime Pie: Overall impressed with the food in the MDR tonight. Service with Jonathan was outstanding. That was a nice surprise! We put in a request to be seated at his table every night. We'll see how it goes. Off to see the ice show now.
  14. Off to the MDR for dinner tonight. Then we'll catch the ice show at 9:15pm. Other than that, not too many other exciting plans.
  15. Will try to get some pics around the ship Wednesday. ? I bring my own but kids are picky too. Wonder where they got that from? ?
  16. So...Anthem worked out to $652/night (that is in Canadian dollars) and Mariner was $587.50/night (USD). That is for the same 4 people. However, with Anthem, it was KSF and free gratuities for 2 people. Hope that helps.
  17. You got your wish! For those of you not on Periscope, I will post the link later. Thanks for coming along! Better late than never! And thank you. She's pretty excited.
  18. Love the decor of the WJ: Drink package prices on board: The "get out of the WJ; make room others" call came in at 12:15pm. While it is super crowded here, it still flows better than Anthem. Hubby and D12 are still eating so we're still here ?
  19. Lyft Plus from FLL to MIA $72.28. It took us about 40min to get to the port. Check in was a breeze. We arrived at the curb at 10:45pm, on board by 11am. There is a separate check in and waiting area for JS and above. I did notice that there are a lot of "visitor groups" on board today. Suites waiting area: tight squeeze as the day visitors were also here.
  20. Checking out now. Hopefully traffic isn't too bad on the way to the port of Miami. Will check back in later when I get my VOOM code. ? Thanks for following. You all make it more fun!
  21. Will do...you're next ? That's how it started for us....trying to squeeze in every bit that we can. Could always YOLO and book it! ?
