RDDAILY 21 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I've been counting down the days until she arrived at port. Here she is as seen from my office window! July 23rd can't come soon enough!! Lovetocruise2002, CruiseLife72, tkltomp and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This would be a complete and total failure of all productivity for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RBRSKI 539 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have a buddy going on her a week from today. Another one that goes on her 7/13 and I will be sailing on her 11/9 the weekend before we go on the Symphony 11/18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boston Babe 843 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Talk about sheer torture! But what a great view you have!! It must be very distracting to say the least, especially when you aren't on any of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monctonguy 1,632 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Great view..so envious....I would be cruising every weekend if I lived that close to the port! I am anxious to see the first reviews and pics that are posted of her with all the changes.....OCt22 seems too far away now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SPS 452 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 @RDDAILY There's no way I could see cruise ships coming and going nearly every day while I toil away at my desk! You must be a very strong person to do so! Friend of mine & his wife are taking their first ever cruise on Mariner on 7/16. (I convinced them to go! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, I think after so many years of having this view, you kind of get used to it. Although I have to say, I'm always impressed when I watch the ships turning around to leave the port. It's amazing how they can just turn in a circle in such a small space! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klc317 62 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Nice. We were on Mariner in 2007 IIRC. Was a cruise from L.A. to Mexico Riviera which they don't do anymore. Strange to see this size of ship doing the 3 & 4 day bahamas runs but I do see their logic in it and I'm sure the capacity is needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really excited for this cabin in particular as it's our first JS, and our travel agent was able to find us one on the hump! A month ago when I booked, I was debating between a JS on Deck 9 or Deck 11. After seeing scopes of the new Deck 11 JS from @CruiseLifeRick on Adventure, I decided to grab it. Can't go wrong being steps away from the Solarium right? lol I'm excited for you @KLAconQueso...first suite is awesome! If scoping goes well next month on the Seaside, I'll likely scope on Mariner too. I'll also do a live blog. KLA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
