Bennie And Cruiserccl LIVE From The Mariner's Inaugural Cruise!

[Texas Teen]

Uh Oh! Chris is lurking around Cruise Critic without posting! His light is green! I wonder if he is onboard the Mariner yet. I know he's on here!

[Texas Teen]

You just posted while I was typing! You're Home?!?!?! :eek: :eek: :eek: How did you get home sooooo quickly after boarding the Mariner! :eek: Are you not cruising after all?!?!?! If you decide to re-board the Mariner, Take 2 dozen photos of the Royal Promenade! :D Make sure they are in the PERFECT angle! If the pictures are not taken at the perfect angle... I will be sad! :p LOL!

I live about an hour down the coast from San Pedro & sometimes I can see the cruise ships from my deck as they sail off southwards. It's a bit overcast this evening so it's bit iffy. However, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Hey Chris I didn't know you were going to Mariner's 1st West Coast Cruise....awesome!

 

Keep the news and pics comming....the Mariner might a an awesome ship....hopefully we'll book her for spring break 2010 since this year we could not fly to LA and got the Solstice instead....she was for so long 1 hour from here and we didn't hav a chance to go on her:( but I'm sure we'll do it on the Mexican Riviera:D

 

Enjoy the cruise:):cool:

[Cruiserccl]

Just uploaded some videos and some pictures. Sail away was a little cold but it was GREAT! A blimp was flying over head and crowds were cheering us on! Pictures will be posted tonight! :D I really havent seen any kids som far but hey what ever happens happens! :D

Did the port have any type of celebration for you leaving port for the first sailing? Fire boats showering water...?

That cargo ship was there at 630am when we headed out to LAX to catch our flight. Glad you made the ship...you know how we all tell folks never fly in the day of the cruise....:D

Did the port have any type of celebration for you leaving port for the first sailing? Fire boats showering water...?

 

The fire boat welcomed the first Mariner inbound and us on the outbound Thursday evening for a Pre-I cruise. Was pretty cool to see.

[Juli]

I am going to "try" to post a picture of the Mariner leaving San Pedro on Sunday at aprox. 5:10pm...hope it works.

[CruiseDude_83]

Check out the prices for Jan 2010 and the first week of Feb. My wife and I got a hump balcony stateroom for under $700 a piece (with the diamond discount!).

 

I KNOW!!!...that's a LONG way off...... But the prices are great.

 

If you've never sailed on a Voyager of Freedom class ship.....You'll be totally amazed!!!!
