Thanks for this info Ciano, very useful! I was hoping for a little space to ourselves on a beach rather than a beach to ourselves, if only eh!
By the way, we have great memories of being on Mariner! We sailed on her from Singapore to Thailand and a couple of places in India finishing in Dubai. Ahhh yes, a fabulous time was had, lovely ship

So Maddox for 4 nights they will charge you 5 days so $75. Price the cost of car hire to drop and start a new hire see if it's worth it. We have always found Alamo to be best. Went with Avis year b4 last but wasn't impressed!

Lol Cloverlady I read your post wrong! I was thinking that that one is very demanding looking for a beach to herself! I'm still laughing to myself! Am sure you will have no problem getting a patch of it!
Your cruise on Mariner sounds fab! We really liked her too. We had been on Harmony the year previous so we were wondering would we like it as much as it was a smaller ship but sure it was just great. We were meant to be on Symphony this year. Well and truly hooked now!

Good advice - also look at the cost of hiring for the whole of your stay and compare.
We've done this all 3 times we've sailed from Florida as it has worked out cheaper, even with the parking charges. We found this worked well for us as it meant we could leave (nothing valuable!) stuff in the boot we didn't need for the cruise portion of our holiday and it was an absolute joy to be able to park at the nearest car park and literally stroll across the pavement to the actual ship! In fact we laughed as we could see our car from our cabin balcony when onboard before we sailed!

We thought we would find Mariner small, but was perfect really!
We particularly enjoyed the trivia quizzes in the Schooner Bar on board! And about the beach - yes, I am demanding but not THAT demanding!

Relaxing at the Grand Floridian

Yes will price up both but for the hassle we will probably keep the car and park. We usually book Alamo but found discount Florida with Andy cheaper for this year and booked with him no bother he books with Alamo too but only one driver. The cruises just sound amazing I have been looking into them for a long time so hopefully all will settle by next year and we all get to go on holidays again 🙂
I was looking at all the different cruise lines and just never settled but this one just seemed to tick all the right boxes..can't wait. Edited at 07:47 PM. |
