Mikew0805 Posted September 13, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Nice. I am joining Mariner on the 17th. Also, I was on the July 23rd Freedom. Have a great B2B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheSailsFL Posted September 13, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Enjoy your B2B! Will look forward to details on where the B2Bs meet on turnaround day, whether you have to leave the ship and any other bits of wisdom about the process and logistics. . Have 2 B2Bs booked (same cabin on both legs) & can’t wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Stayed at a friend's house near south Florida since I just got off a cruise in Miami Saturday. Just recharged at dunkin and Google tells me I will be at the parking place I booked in 1H 43m. I'll be a little early for my check in which is 2 but I feel uncomfortable with such a small window between my boarding time and sail away.

EatonDoolittle Posted September 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Someone mentioned in passing on another thread that there was a pop up testing site at the PC pier. No problem for me, I live locally and will get tested before I go in November, but I am curious about it. Is it for people who do not pay attention and do not realize that they need a test before boarding? Is it for a backup test if you don't answer the health questions to RC's satisfaction? I bet it is costly, if its just there as a convenience. Any info you can scout would be interesting to know. Thanks and have a wonderful trip.

Depending out how hectic it is at the port I may scope it out on turnaround day. 4 minutes ago, Rogueperson said: So you're actually on a b2b2b?!?!? or more 2b than you've mentioned? I get off on Monday go back to work till Friday then drive back on Friday to board for another weekend Bahamas trip. I live close and the casino keeps comping me so I just keep booking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2021 Author #21 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've made it to the parking location. I'm using cruisetime parking and shuttle. This is my first time using them but so far it seems like a good choice. My usual go to from port Canaveral, 528 parking, seems to have gone out of business. Such a shame they were a pleasure to do business with. I'm hopeful I can board a little early, there are intermittent showers I would hate to have to stand outside in that. We seem to be waiting for the shuttle to fill up so that should help. They said we are about 10 minutes from the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to use Park N Cruise but now we just pay and park right at the port. $40 vs $85 for our next one is a pretty big difference. Have fun We will be there in 2 weeks. I was on the first one out last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted September 13, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hope you have a great cruise, and that when the ship returns on Friday, we will get to join you for your second leg. Love the Mariner (looks like you do, too) and can't wait to return to Coco Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
