Where did you pull up this information from??? I am most certainly interested, especially the one that departs from Ft. Lauderdale (I'm a south florida gal) - and this is exactly the timeframe we were thinking about doing South America.

 

Thanks,

Ella, go check out our thread...............all the details have been posted all day.

[Ella2]

Sorry, I only checked the last two pages of the thread (tonight) and didn't see it. Forgive me.

LOL, no problem...........there have been different itineraries posted in the last several days.

[shipknotshore]

Thanks for the info. Hmmm....trying to figure out to do the entire cruise. :eek: Will wait to see if I hit the lotto tomorrow night.:p

[piercetc4]

congrats to all of you getting to do part or all of the cool trip on mariner! wish we could join you - have an awesome time!

That pricing is actually suprisingly cheap for a balcony for 46 nights only $7k?

 

In comparison our Hawaii 15 nighter balcony is costing around $2,500

That is PER PERSON, based on double occupancy as stated in the cruises listed above that one. Not so inexpensive, but not out of line with similar-length cruises on other cruise lines. :)

15-Night Port Canaveral to Rio De Janeiro, 1/4/09

Port Canaveral; Coco Cay; St. Maarten; St. Kitts; Barbados; Salvador De Bahia, Brazil; Rio De Janeiro

 

Ella, other EXCELLENT sources have assured us that the ship is departing from MIAMI, not from Port Canaveral. I know because my TA checked and was told that I cannot stay on from Port Canaveral to Miami. (I'm already booked on the Mariner's final Florida-based cruise, the New Year's cruise.)

[RhondaC]

WOW! Can you just imagine being on a 46-NIGHT cruise??? I'm pretty sure that's what heaven feels like! :)

Lol.....minus the $$ and alot more hard work...hehe

 

All joking aside....Man that would be awesome to go on the whole journey....whew 46 days...that must be what rich and not have to work feels like....it would take me years to get that kind of vacation time but then again where I work you can only acru (sp) like three weeks and then they automatically pay it out to you...heheh Ill never get 46 days off in a row unless I am dead.....:eek: :rolleyes: :p

Well, I'm looking directly at the promotional flyer that was released to TAs yesterday, and the itineraries I posted above are exactly what they list.

 

I'm just passing along the information as it was sent out, I haven't called RCCL to verify anything. I would be surprised if they put out a promo flyer listing one itinerary and then change it shortly thereafter, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

[cruisefromct]

Jumping back on this thread. Am listed to join you all for this wonderful cruise. Have been looking at the itineraries and think I will join you in Brazil. So can I still be part of the group if I only do 2 out of the 3 segments? :o

 

A good question for all you 2 week + long cruisers is how do you pack for, in my case, a 31 day long cruise. Wondering since I have an Alaska repo. and a 13 day Med. cruise set up for the rest of the year. Help!!!
