Mariner of the Seas 6/9/2012 Cruise on CBS's "The Amazing Race" Last Night

[ahecht]

Last night's (12/2/2012) episode of The Amazing Race was filmed in Barcelona on June 12th 2012 and in Mallorca on June 13th 2012. It just so happens that Mariner of the Seas was in the same cities on those dates.

 

The teams took an overnight ferry from Barcelona to Mallorca that left at 11pm, the same time as Mariner's sail away. The ship was very visible in the background sailing away, and some teams were even shown waving to it. The end of the episode took place at Bellver Castle in Mallorca, and the cameras zoomed in on the Mariner in port a few times.

The sailaway scene is at about 8:40 into the episode.

 

Did anyone on that cruise run into the filming or production crew in Barcelona or Mallorca?

I saw that there was a Royal Caribbean ship there but couldn't tell which one it was. And since I was visiting my folks who have NO Tivo or DVR :eek:, I was unable to back it up and try to figure it out. Thanks for the info.

We watched the show last night and had even visited several of the places they went to. We saw the ship, but didn't know which one it was. Thanks for sharing the name.

 

I love Amazing Race, if I was younger I would try out for a spot on the show.

Actually I love the goat farmers.....they have struggled all thru the race. What an upset that would be. At this point anyone but the twinies! Loved the shots of the cruise ship. Thanks for letting us know what ship it was.

My wife would have been laughing at me for doing that. DVR and a 55" screen helps.

That is so exciting! I saw the ship while we were watching the show, and wondered which one it was. We are going on the Mariner in February, so this makes me even more excited!

My wife and I love The Amazing Race and caught the RCCL ship too. It looked as if there were upwards of 7 ships in port that day. Never had the pleasure of being in port with so many ships .... Also, we want any duo but the 2 girls to win, they're annoying .... Hahahaha.

I thought it was pretty cool to see a Royal Caribbean ship on one of my favorite shows in one of my favorite ports! (I had my husband rewind and freeze so we could take a better look, too. :D:D)

[Port Boy]

Rooting in Australia means something totaly different.:eek: it's good to see you all liked the Mariner, we are cruising on it next year, Go the chippendales..................lol

Annoying is putting it mildly.

All of you that love the Amazing Race need to try the Amazing Cozumel Race in Cozumel. It is a great way to see the city. We had so much fun doing it when we were there in October. Lots of fun and all the locals love to help out. Great excursion!!!!
