Live on Mariner of the Seas, it’s been Years in the Making — October 3rd to 8th, 2022.

After lunch we found out the rooms were ready so went up around 12:30.  It’s fairly self-explanatory.
 

Time for a quick cabin tour.  Who is Vitus Bering, you will have to Google to find out. I did, now you do. 

 

 

If we didn’t have enough to eat at lunch, this was waiting for us in our room.

DH and I wished we were watching your sailaway today from Fishlips instead of the webcam but a Fishlips run just wasn’t in the cards for us today. We did wave at the webcam on our computer screen earlier. 👋👋 Did you see us? 😂

I followed instructions and Googled Vitus Bering. Interesting guy. 

I’m loving your pictures! Keep them coming!

Hope the wave is open for you tomorrow. 🏄‍♂️

Good morning folks. Here are some photos from sail away. 
 

Lines are dropped and we are off. 

 

 

Indy was getting ready to sail as well. We had a horn battle with them, I’ll post video when possible. 

 

 

A returning pilot boat from a Carnival ship. 

 

 

Even the captain came up to wave goodbye.

 

 

We slipped out of the port.

 

 

And our sheriff escort dropped off. 
 

 

And our pilot port came along.

Dinner was at Chops we used our D+ Bogo. 
 

I had the wedge and Lisa had the Caesar salad.  
 

 

We shared a the thick cut bacon and I had the petite filet and Lisa had the larger one. They were cooked perfectly had had great flavour.  Sides were simple and few.

Great to see a live from you, it’s been so long. 
 

Enjoy!

I forgot to say they had a “hopping sail away” dance party will the usual songs. This gentleman was truly the the star of the show. He was full of personality.

 

 

His shirt says it all.

After dinner we decided to go to the ice show. We walked the promenade.

 

 

On the way we stopped at playmakers to watch our Toronto blue jays beat the Baltimore orioles. Last night they clinch home-field advantage for the wildcard series. We are very excited about that.
 

 

Then was off to the ice show.  Like many of the Royal Caribbean ice shows,  I left it with more questions than answers. However, it was very entertaining to watch.
 

As a Canadian it’s had been 48 hours past the mandatory time away from an ice rink. LOL

 

 

 

Baby Got Back. Actually it was a male skater so I’m not sure how to word it properly. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

 

 

 

 

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

We were hoping to make the silent party, but we failed. Night 4 it happens again. 
 

This may have happened on the walk home to the cabin.

 

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

Today’s plan includes laying by the pool, a little bit of flow riding, and a bit more laying by the pool. Probably gonna be a couple sides of drinking and eating too.  If I see anything good I’ll keep you posted.

 

I’m also trying to upload the video we’ll see how long that takes.  The Internet definitely seems faster in the morning.

I saw you. You were eating like fools. I waved back the same way.
 

The wave is open at 9:30 today. It will be interesting to see what muscle memory I have left, as well as how much muscle pain threshold I have remaining.

Ship Situation Report. 

 

Our Situation Report. 

 

Chair hogs are not out in full force at 8am. 
 

 

Edit, I just watched a woman take 7 seats, but her family just showed up. Nice job. 

 

Our home for the day. We are in the terrace/elevated seats. Lisa brings her travel headrest cushion and uses it. She says it’s spectacular.

Much better than the view of Merlin's and my footprints in the frost as we walked through the park yesterday morning.

Thanks for doing a review.  Looks like it's off to a good start.  We were on the same trip in May and had such a fun time!

LOL, that was to say “waving like fools”. Never trust auto dictate. That being said here I am using it right now.

 

The only one eating like fools are those on board the ship.

That’s a hard no from me. Give Merlin ahead scratch and stay warm.

Breakfast at the Windjammer was good. Had a little bit of fruit fruit and thought I would try the  mueslix.

 

It tasted exactly like what you think it would. To me, that would be sadness in a glass cup. Needless to say, I didn’t eat more than one spoonful.

If you hadn’t explained I might have thought Lisa was going topless…

Andrew, you have mentioned eating a few times already. I don’t see a Sorrentos on the deck plans. Where can my wife and granddaughter get pizza? Also, I know some smaller ships have a Park Cafe, does this ship have one

I had the same thought. LOL

That actually looks comfortable.  Any chance she got that through Amazon ??
