From the Mariner of the Seas!

Jackie - I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the Mariner and Royal Caribbean. Despite the weather it sounds like you are having a great time. Thanks for checking in and enjoy the rest of your cruise.

I'm glad you're enjoying the ship so much. I hope that the seas settle down some today.

Well we had a great night last night at the Dinner theater, it was so much fun and maybe a little too much Champagne! It's definitely worth doing the Dinner Theater once @ $49 per person I don't think we would repeat it though.

Today we are in St. Thomas. It rained shortly after we docked, so we went to the dining room for a late (9:30) breakfast and by the time we were finished so was the rain. We then took a taxi ($4 per person) into Charlotte Amalie and walked around the market and the shops. We did pick up a cute little Canon Power Shot Digital Camera, so now I don't have to take my big Canon Rebel xti SLR all over with me.

Again we are enjoying this ship so much, and each and every day we are more in awe at the wonderful staff. They are the best!

Tonight we go to the "Ice under the Big Top" and are looking forward to that. Then it's dinner - yes another meal!!! And then it's "Win a cruise Bingo" at 10:30 - now wouldn't that be awesome!!

Tomorrow we'll be in St. Maarten - our favorite island, but I have no idea what the weather is going to do.... we're just taking it one day at a time and savoring every moment.

Jackie - glad you enjoyed the dinner theatre despite too much champagne but it's great that you are having such a good cruise. Enjoy St. Maarten tomorrow and take pictures with your new camera.

Sounds like things are looking up. I'm glad you're enjoying the ship. I'll remember that next time I book a cruise.

WOW! I wish you were enjoying yourselves more. You sound depressed. I'm glad it's going so well for both of you.

It's so great to hear from you, Jackie. Just continue to have a great time. After your glowing report, sounds like a ship we might like to try if it ever sails from Ft. Lauderdale. Enjoy every minute.

We also love St. Martaan.

Thanks for the daily posts. It is wonderful to hear from you guys.

What's a little rain (or a lot of rain) when you're on the most beautiful islands on the eastern seaboard?!

Had to laugh about the meal comment. We wouldn't be finished eating and we'd be talking about what the menu will be on the next meal.
