Mariner - Eastern Itinerary theme dining

[whiskey girl]

We are leaving this Sunday (6/11) for our Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Mariner - YIPEE!!! We certainly want to do at least one of the specialty restaurants. Am I correct that Thursday is "Caribbean night" in the dining room on the Eastern itinerary? It sounds like we will have the opportunity to look at the dining room menus (in the Promenade?) but since we don't land in the Orlando airport until 12:35, we may be a little behind the curve by the time we get to the ship and wanted to have a plan.

 

Thanks for this and all your other good info!

Hi,

 

I was on the Mariner in April and I'm almost positive that Caribbean night was on Wednesday because that was the night we went to Chops.

We will likely do the same - Chops on Caribbean night. Thank you very much and have a great day!

Sounds like what we'll be doing too! I can't believe we're sailing this Sunday!

I think it was Wednesday too, but don't hold my feet to the fire if I'm wrong. The best way to find out for sure it to hot foot it to Chops when you board. The staff there will tell you which night is Caribbean night. They are quite knowledgeable.

I know!!!! I am soooo excited!

Just got off the Mariner on Sunday (Eastern Caribbean). Caribbean night is Wednesday night and we ate at Portofino's that night. Excellent dinner.

I am soooo jealous, we don't leave until Nov 12th for the same cruise. Be sure to post when you return and tell us everything. We haven't decided if we will do the specialty restaurants or not. I'm sure we will, as everyone seems to say that it is well worth the money.

 

Happy Cruising,

Judy

I plan on writing a review, and if we get on board early enough and manage to get internet access for our cabin, I might do a "live from" review for everyone.

 

This will be my first cruise, and I can hardly wait! Today was my last day working, so I feel like I'm in vacation mode now, too. My husband left work at noon today - he couldn't concentrate, so he left early!

 

We'll be booking for Chops on Wednesday if that's Caribbean night. Question though. Do they do anything special on that night in the dining room? Do the waiters sing and entertain? I don't want us to miss anything. I think the night we do Chops our girls will eat together in Windjammer, or maybe they'll decide to do the dining room without us. :)

According to the April 2 Compasses, Caribbean night is Wednesday, Day 4. Hope this helps.
