karena1 Posted May 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2017 wow, cannot believe we are getting Mariner for 3/4 night cruises out of Miami. That is just so cool. I booked 3 cruises today for 3 nighters- Aug/Sept/Oct 2018. We have not been on Mariner so really looking forward to another Adventure Class ship. That will only leave Navigator that we have not been on out of that class. I just cannot believe we are getting a ship that size to do short cruises - super stoked about it!

ONECRUISER Posted May 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Agree, Miami being first cruise I sailed out of. I remember yrs ago when as many as 10 cruise ships saile out of Miami on same day with 3 being Royal. But ships were way smaller then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted May 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's cool for the sake of the ship. It's not cool for the sake of losing Key West. For the balance, the Mariner is worse than the Enchantment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Enchantment and we have taken many cruises on her since she came to Miami, but I am very happy with getting the bigger ship. And we are not fans of Key West at all, so for us, a sea day over Key West is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the itinerary choices, I'd go to New Jersey to sail her than not see Key West. Having a B2B be exactly the same thing isn't that appealing. Or go bigger out of Ft Lauderdale. Good thing we got our one cruise into Key West, as it may be the only one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the balance, the Mariner is worse than the Enchantment. I'm not totally sure how to feel about the Mariner. We did the 4 nighter with Key West on Enchantment this past Feb. We loved it and were hoping to make it an annual thing. I do like having the option for a bit larger of a ship for the 3/4 nighters, but it is definitely a shame that Key West is no longer.

Topo Gigio Posted May 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2017 They are going to get a huge chunk of that (Bahamas) cake with Mariner doing the 3/4 days runs out of Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted May 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We really enjoyed our Mariner Christmas cruise. You might enjoy seeing the pictures of the ship and our port calls that my wife took for her website at the link below. Mariner of the Seas Western Caribbean Cruise Happy Sailing. It's a great way to travel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted September 2, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 2, 2017 So happy about Mariner. With sales, saved a bunch on the cruises we have booked on her. And like I said, other than Nassau, Key West is probably our least favorite place to go to. We are beach people and there are no good beaches in Key West.
