All the fun things, but not quite as big as the Oasis Class. I’ve never sailed her though. Mariner was our very first cruise with our kids back in the early 2000's. So many fond memories. At that time she was huge. We sailed on her several times from PC and then one year out of LA when we sailed down to Cabo. Whenever we see her now in port we always say we need to sail on her again someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 6, 2023 Author #153 Share Posted September 6, 2023 We had a wonderful waiter this time. Law, from East India. He recommended a beautiful Chilean red and after that we asked him to make all the decisions. He basically gave us a tasting menu. Asparagus soup, beef consumed faux grais, shrimp cocktail, the surf and Turf, and the “unhealthy” gnocchi… cherry jubilee, affogato, and baked Alaska. It was a super fun dinner. Highly recommend Law! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 6, 2023 Author #154 Share Posted September 6, 2023 George Casey, Irish comedian. Super fun. Half the audience of the same demographic walked out halfway, but they’ve walked out half way through almost every show so I don’t think it’s specific to the comedian. “The women who gains a few extra pounds lives a lot longer than the man who mentions it”.

He’s one of my absolute favorites and I definitely recall him prescribing a “small” (was not small) taster of one of the other entrees a few times for me in addition to whatever I selected. See if you can catch when he’s headed home on vacation for me, please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading hotel Nantucket, I like the occasional chick lit as the break from my usual British mysteries. I read a lot of international news so when I read for fun I’m not very sophisticated. Send me your drink suggestions!!! I’m not a huge drinker normally but I’m trying to do my part this cruise. For cocktails, I tend to like tart and fruity but necessarily super sweet. I like gin… That being said as long as it doesn’t have bourbon, I’m down for trying it. There is a "G & T Club" menu with five different gin and tonics here if you scroll a bit. https://profcruise.com/msc-bar-menus-and-drink-prices-2023/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceburg1 Posted September 7, 2023 #159 Share Posted September 7, 2023 We went to Jobsons Cove yesterday. It’s a beautiful place! One of the best beaches in Bermuda IMHO. Small cove just past Horseshoe Bay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 7, 2023 Author #162 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Breakfast on the top deck. Joseph quickly got us cappuccinos and it was so lovely I forgot to take pictures! We grabbed extra waters for our adventure today and headed out. We didn’t bring enough yesterday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 7, 2023 Author #163 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Transportation: The information center at the port sells day passes for public transportation for 19 each. That being said, if you get outside of the port area and go to a post office, you can buy the local zone 14, 15 token passes for 37 and then share it and use it the whole time you’re there. Don’t wait in line at the Tourist information on your first day. I recommended just getting in line for the ferry and paying 5 dollars cash to get on the ferry the first day and then buying the local token passes while you’re away from Port. The tokens are good for 1 ferry ride or 1 bus ride all over the island and don’t expire! You also skip the big line at Port on the first day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Mom jump, too? Yes, I think so. We didn’t do the Crystal Caves but I believe they’re close! She jumped last time she was here 5 years ago but this time she took the much more treacherous path where you are supposed to go out. I think jumping would have been easier but she said she had already checked that off her list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Horseshoe Bay, if you are standing on the beach looking at the water, go to your right and walk around the rock head. The cove is on the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
