TxnAquarian Posted April 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi everyone! I am leaving this Friday for 4 weeks on the Mariner. I haven't been onboard in almost 3 years and wanted to hear from anyone who has been on the ship recently, or who is onboard now. Just wondering how the condition of the ship is, the staff, the cruise director, etc. I'm looking forward to a great month at sea. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITravelNow Posted April 24, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Michael: We were on the Mariner 3 weeks ago and everything was terrific - the ship had just finished a 7 day dry dock for refurbishing. Here's a link to some photos I took of the new interior look: http://picasaweb.google.com/ITravelNow/MarinerPhotos Here the "Who's-Whos" of crew members on board during that sailing: Captain Philippe Fichet Delevault Staff Captain Stan Mercier De Lacombe Chief Engineer Germain Souvet Security Offier Harry Harrison Ship’s Doctor Dr. Jean-Claude Richard Hotel Director Marcel Gademan F&B Manager Dominique Nicolle Financial Officer Sabine Geyer Executive Chef Mike Romhild Dining Room Manager Garry Roberts Housekeeper Sunny Kekic Guest Relations Manager Bernice Scheepers Travel Concierge Manager Christine Andrusyshyn Cruise Director Bryan Townsend Assistant Cruise Director Dionne Lochner Social Hostess Nova Hughes Computer Instructor Theresa Luff Youth Coordinator Crystal Deschamps Cruise Consultant Brian O’Brian Art Director Handre Of course those positions change frequently so you may not find them there when you board. Have a wonderful voyage - wish I was going back for 4 week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxnAquarian Posted April 24, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Wow! The ship looks amazing! I love the new bistro area they added by the library. It looks like The Bistro on the Crystal ships. Thanks so much for sharing the photos! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBfromCA Posted April 24, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Michael, I will also be onboard Friday (only for the leg to SF). Was on Mariner last year and loved it! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaQuack Posted April 24, 2007 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2007 We too were on the March 30 sailing after dry dock. Love all the new furnishings. Had to use the ship's m.d. for the first time ever and were very impressed. Our 15 year old son awoke one morning with pin eye. Dr. Richard was very charming, funny and professional - he can clearly speak as comfortably with the 80 year olds as he can with the teens. Otherwise we found all the restaurants as wonderful as ever. Have a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
