an @A&L_Ont review is long overdue!  Looking forward to following your adventure.  

[A&L_Ont]

Storm Trooper is loaded. Ball gear is being dropped at Grandmas with Owen. See you in Detroit. 
 

[A&L_Ont]

Owen is dropped and we are departing.

It has been too long! Looking forward to following along. 

Great to see that Lucy has weathered the pandemic! 
 

Have a great cruise.

Wow — Owen — what a handsome young man.  Glad to see you and Lisa sailing again and look forward to your review.  Have fun!  Katherine

I haven't been on Mariner for years now. It will be interesting to see what might have changed on the ship. Since you have done Freedom class, Mariner will seem very familiar to you. She is just a bit shorter.

 

Safe travels and have a great time!

We were on Mariner this past June.  We had a great time.  The ship was lovely.  The food was great.  The ports were good.  All in all, it was a wonderful, relaxing cruise.  Hope you have the same experience.

Looking forward to following along!  Mariner is a great ship - I have sailed her a few times and really enjoyed each cruise. As for Voyager class - it is my 2nd favorite behind Freedom class. I may be in the minority, however I am not a fan of Oasis class and prefer the "smaller" ships (although not as small as Radiance which was my first cruise ever).

 

Safe travels to Florida 🙂

So it hasn’t been on board for that long. Is that when she got amped?  

 

Yep, used to be inline skating track

Probably one of the most "gimmicky" things to be put on a ship. It was short, winding, and half the time you going into the wind. We were on Explorer right after they had the fire on its track. I can't remember any longer how that started. The track was closed for repairs that week.

[BonTexasNY]

Following for sure.  Have a fabulous cruise.

 

I see pictures of Owen periodically on Dani's thread and still can't believe how he's grown.  Handsome and tall!

 

And, I finally got to see pictures of Lucy with her eyes open.  She sure loves her naps.

Yes, The inline skating track was a total failure and waste of space. Glad they got rid of it.

They really had a boxing rink? That’s a bad idea.

Andrew enjoy your cruise with Lisa.

Took my Son and a friend of his for High School Graduation Gift on Liberty of the Seas and we have pictures some where of both of them in the Ring. 

 

Probably  no cruise ships have ever put a ring on one of their ships since!  Not a very good idea.

[TPCRUISER2]

Whoo hoo! Looking forward to your review!

By the end of the week Lisa might have wished it to be on board. 😆

SEE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

We are now at the Detroit airport.  The drive was longer than normal but it’s a Sunday.
 

 

Had we know Nexus was closed here we would have crossed at Sarnia VS a Windsor. 

 

 

We both commented that it seems quiet here. We are grabbing a bite to eat, steak sandwich for Lisa and chicken caesar salad for me. I didn’t pack the stretchy pants so I have to pace myself. 

Our plane is inbound. Can’t wait to see the unhappy and hungover faces from those returning from Vegas with a 6am flight.
