[Bothel]

mmudr - here's the roll call for the Mariner 46 day cruise. If you post your question there, someone might be able to help you.

my last page is 13, but my posts per page are set at 40, so yours might be different.

 

Paul --

 

It appears there is a little activity over on the Navigator TA page.

 

I am still keeping my options open on the Mariner around the horn cruise. My attention has been directed to finding a house in Mexico for retirement. Once that is out of the way, I can start looking at cruises again.

There were a LOT of posters on this thread who said that they would be looking for cabinmates.

 

We are three fabulous well-adjusted ladies booked into an absolutely amazing GS for the whole cruise.

 

Looking for a fourth.....................

[truffles2]

I started reading the first page before I realized how many pages there are :eek:

We booked the 2nd leg around the horn last week on Mariner and at that time they said there were only about 60 cabins left. Managed to snag a D1.

 

Should I really read the other 57 pages or go directly to the roll call?

I don't know if there is a Roll Call for an individual leg, but here's the link to the "big" one:

As there have been new questions about immunizations, I will repeat these comments from a post I wrote last July:

 

Let me provide a few comments about travel immunizations.

I am a retired family physician who worked extensively in "Vaccine-Preventable Diseases," "Adult Immunizations," and "Travel Immunizations," including some direct work WITH the Immunization Division of the CDC.

 

The most reliable source of Immunization Recommendations for Travel is from the Centers for Disease Control. They make note of each country's travel entrance REQUIREMENTS, as well as RECOMMENDATIONS for U.S. citizens travelling to each country.

 

As ALL immunizations have effects / side-effects, and indications / contraindications, a MEDICAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDER should make the recommendations for YOU. This should NOT be done by a Travel Agent or Tour Provider (IMHO), because they know NOTHING of your own personal health history.

 

I've been to Brazil, and had to have a Yellow Fever Vaccine BECAUSE my itinerary included Manaus, on the Amazon. The CDC website mentioned also notes that, for Brazil:

 

Coastal cities, including Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Recife, and Fortaleza, are NOT within the endemic zone.

Vaccination IS recommended for travelers visiting Iguaçu Falls.

 

So, for Brazil, since the Mariner will probably be visiting only coastal towns (possibly Recife, Salvador, Rio, Sao Paolo), a Yellow Fever Vaccine is not needed. If you take an excursion to Iguazu Falls (which is very likely to be offered, probably as a flight from Rio and/or Santos/Sao Paolo), then you WOULD need a Yellow Fever Vaccine.

 

The area of Travel Immunizations is complex. It depends on where you are going, what you will be doing when you are there, whether you will eat the local food or have exposure to certain people or animals, and etc. etc.

 

It also depends on what your own medical history is (do you have an immune-compromised disease? are you on chronic steroid treatment?), what your past immunization history is, what allergies you have, what prescription medications you are on, etc. etc.

 

On top of all of this, local conditions where you are going may change - there may be an outbreak of something at the time you will be going, so the recommendations / requirements may CHANGE. (Remember when an outbreak of SARS kept folks from travelling to Toronto?)

 

My recommendation is that you seek the advise of your physician. If your physician is not well-versed in the area of Travel Immunizations, I would recommend that your physician refer you to either a specialist in Infectious Diseases, or to a Travel Medicine Clinic.

 

Perhaps this information will help clarify why you are not getting straight answers on immunizations.

[TheMiz]

Which leg would any of you recommend ?

Around the horn is not an option for me.

[glgolfer]

Stop by our roll call and we'll offer some suggestions.

Rick.............here is the last list of folks that expressed a desire to do the Mariner repo cruise.....................I think you will see some familiar names.

[rubrrick]

Holy Cow............I'm not going to repeat the list Patti............but what an interesting thread.........from then..........to now.

 

I so wish that you two were with us.........you have been so wonderful, and we want to cruise with you two!!

 

The original thread about the Mariner.....possibly coming to the west coast.......sometime in 2008 or 09..........and bets being made on the number of days.........and ports............it's just great reading.

 

It's so fortunate that my DW is doing the 46 nights...........and that I get to join her in Chile.

 

It would only be better if you two were with us!!

Thanks Rick, we also wish we were doing this repo cruise...............but don't worry...........someday you will cruise with the "fevers"!!:D But you may have to come to the East Coast to do it!!

 

This was a great thread and we had so much fun..............I think the anticipation of the cruise was more fun than when it became a reality.

 

I'm so glad that Bobbie will have the chance to experience it along with her folks. I'm glad you are able to do the last leg. Hope the upgrade fairy was good to you all.;)

Only.........the BEST Patti!! The upgrade fairy lives..........especially to those that are repeaters.

 

So.............we need to come where to the east coast to cruise with you two. If Captain Sullivan is on the Monarch..........would you cruise with us??

Absolutely................the Monarch holds fond memories for us because that was our very first RCI cruise................and it was the start to many more.

Yes, it would have been fun............but at least we'll get to see the game...........you might not!!:p
