Was also on this cruise.  I'm guessing the rainy day at sea footage got dropped on the cutting room floor?

The bumper cars were during the rainy day. Otherwise, not much to video that day.

Did you have a good vacation?

Looks like a fun vacation.

Was it just you and your son on the cruise?

Thanks for sharing.  

 

I want to take our granddaughters on a cruise and can see how much fun they will have.    Is she ready for her next cruise?  Briliance of the Seas is a neat ship too.  😀

 

Thank you! This was his 7th cruise! He’s one lucky little man 🙂

A little over 5 weeks before we board Allure. Feeling apprehensive as it's so big and our last Royal Caribbean cruise on IOTS wasn't great.

The Delux drinks package will help I think😜

It's a huge ship but the staff is friendly, helpful & caring! 

Drink package ALWAYS helps!!

Quantum Ultra 2 will debut in NYC in 2020 following the departure of Anthem to the UK.

Royal Caribbean studied an Oasis-class ship departing from Bayonne during the summer season.  

Officers often leak information during their gatherings, but you have to "take it with a grain of salt..."

I'm worried he'll stick out like a sore thumb

give me a rough estimate on the percentage of tuxedo wearers vs. suits vs. "casual business attire" that they notice on formal nights.

In the end, we don't get to vacation very often so....it's whatever makes you happy right?

Your husband won't stick out at all.

Best rough guess I can provide is tuxedos will be in the minority, suits & business attire/polo shirt/khakis (including those horrific bowling shirts :) ) will be the bell curve middle, and the tee shirts and shorts/jeans group will be present as well.

My experience aboard Anthem (and Quantum) was a slightly, better-dressed crowd compared to Florida departures, possibly due to the location of embarkation in close proximity to NYC. The aforementioned is merely a personal observation, so don't assume as fact.

Most important, it's your vacation so make sure you're dressed comfortably for the occasion!!

On the bright side of living in NC & being under threat of impending doom via hurricane, I have a wealth of time to edit videos!!

Day 2, CocoCay

Michael, I love your day 1 video! I'm getting ready to sail in November. Will you be uploading any more videos of the Mariner?

I'm sorry for the lack of new vids. I had several technology issues aboard the ship & this attempt at a live thread did not work out as planned. Nonetheless, I'll have new content uploaded very soon - like, next days soon! :)

So..... I quickly discovered that the upload speed on Mariner was rather (shall I say) ssssssssllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww..... Seriously, evolution of the species is faster. Nonetheless I will continue uploading content from home. Therefore, this is no longer a live thread, but a cruise in review...

So, sit back in your office chair - reminisce about the past weekend, and enjoy Day 1 on Mariner of the Seas.

T-minus 24 hours until we touchdown in Miami. Pre-vacation video coming soon!

Hello fellow cruise addicts! I'm going to try something different this time around... live vlogging from the Mariner. So with fingers crossed & adult beverage of choice raised in the air, I give you... lVrozGOgZXo
