AceVancouver Posted September 3, 2022 #26 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Haven't been on Marina for about 5 years and see it'll go in for refurbishment after my July 23rd cruise so I'm wondering how does it look, e.g. signs of wear and tear, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mauibabes Posted September 4, 2022 #27 Share Posted September 4, 2022 We were on in May and will be back on board in January in Buenos Aires. She does not look bad at all as O does not let their ships go to the dogs. The big Update is more to give her a complete new look, just like you doing a major remodel of your home because your DW decides to give your home a Contemporary look. We will have friends boarding in December so we will get an update from them and share the info. Mauibabes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongomauka Posted September 4, 2022 #28 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thanks ReaderGirl57. I remember having outlet problems the last time I was on the Marina so now I know why. Must bring more European plugs. Have a great rest of your trip. Thanks for helping us all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had applied new varnish to the railings on and about the pool deck right before we boarded, so I think they must try to keep up with things like that.

Rare LHT28 Posted September 5, 2022 #30 Share Posted September 5, 2022 It is not like they let the ships go to rack & ruin before they upgrade they are always fixing /replacing /painting etc.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiFi43 Posted September 6, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Dominic will be on Marina until he gets off in Amsterdam September 27th. Then Marc Warmenhoven will come on as GM through the Fall season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on board from December 17 to January 8 and then again from late February until it returns to Miami. Dominic is great to work with.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually do 2 or 3 mths stints then time off so depending on if he gets 2 mths off or 3 you can work out his schedule to a point LOL He is the BEST GM IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note that you can send a cash advance to the casino and play off those funds without incurring the 5% fee. My question is: If you have a cash balance at the end of the cruise, I assume you could collect from the cashier just like any winnings. Am I correct?

I just take cash for my Casino donations But AFAIK if you have a refundable balance at the end of the cruise you will get cash back at reception They send you a letter last day of the cruise If you put the money into your account it is refundable as opposed to if it was given by the cruise line as a perk then non refundable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t we plan to meet in Horizons for Happy Hour at 5:00. We’ll probably be there a bit earlier , if that suits you, to catch the sail away, plus it will be getting dark early. What say Yee?

No -- I'm on Marina from Miami to Buenos Aires, then home for about a month, then back on board in Buenos Aires for "Around the Horn" to Lima and through the Panama Canal back to Miami. Boarding Regent Seven Seas Mariner on Monday for three LA-Mexico-LA cruises followed by LA to Lima. Home on November 21st -- so about four weeks at home before boarding Marina in Miami in December.

When I was last on the verandah cabins had DVD players in them and a great DVD library to choose from at the front desk. Is that still the case? Thanks This was NOT the case on the Riviera from August to September.....as my hubby had taken tons of surgery procedures on DVD's to study up on new/updated techniques....and there ended up being NO way to view them on board. This despite our poor butler even asking the captain if he had an "extra" laptop with CD viewer...lol! Only options are all on the television system and include a few "new releases" which are neither new nor news worthy.....and "classics" which are just OLD.....so don't plan on the DVD option for movie viewing.
