Decadence and Debauchery on the Mariner?

Three night cruise leaving Ft Lauderdale on Friday 17 Dec with stops in Nassau and Key West (with mandatory stop at Sloppy Joes webcam) returning to Ft Lauderdale on Monday 20 Dec. Only two vacation days required!! Christmas shopping in Ft Lauderdale (Las Olas), Nassau, and/or Key West!

$895 plus $90 port charges or take this opportunity to try out the Penthouse Suites!

Any takers?

Edited to add: $254 air from Pittsburgh, $194 from Dulles.

Marc, this is a zero discount offering....$895 is Cat. G & H, not penthouse....can't imagine more than a handful of bookings at this time....a prime 2-for-1 candidate, maybe even 2-for-1 air as well. And, give me a sea day, and, skip the first stop!

Edited to add: Marc, misread your post "or take this opportunity to try out the Penthouse Suites".

Marc, you are just getting off a cruise December 6! Have you gone mad, or are you building miles for the shakedown on the next ship? Like I told you on the other thread, this is the "big" Christmas shopping weekend for me for my grown children. But if the East Coast getogether turns into this, that would be fine with me. They even have cat races as an excursion in Key West! (Like you talked about in DisneyWorld) But if they are two different events, I think I will just do the first, if more people come, given that I have to fly to either. I have always wanted to go to Key West!

aaannnthony, you are right, this is with no discounts, but they are usually small with a short cruise like this.

Olivia:

Lawrence's post made a lot of sense. We kept trying to find a place like a Radisson cruise ship. So, why not a short cruise?!? We can't make the 5 Dec cruise but the 17 Dec cruise is great because it is over a weekend. I know it is close to Christmas which may really put the crimp on this as an East Coast get together. However, it is worth considering.

Anthony, the current price is equivalent to a two for one. Martha B was on one of this past December's three day cruises and I believe some posters (Jan and Carole?)were on the one immeditaly before hers over the weekend. They can tell us how full the sailings were and whether the price was further discounted.

I'm thinking of booking this one, especially if the goodwill certificate is available.

Anyone interested?

Marc - I booked this yesterday! Suite 733....... Lorraine B. is going with me........I figure three days is more than enough time to convert her to a Radisson fan! :banana: :banana:

Who, What???
AS of now I am a nervous virgin to LCT but willing to get my feet wet with a 3 day excursion..
don't want to get too spoiled as it will be back to the trenches when I get home... Hubby should be verrrry afraid!!!

Booked my Mother on this cruise last week. She doesn't know it yet............

Claudia

No-one else is going?????

Marc, et.al.

Colonel Wes & Ida are strongly considering going..
we are doing the due dilligence now--will let u
know...Thanks for sharing this opportunity.

Colonel Wes

Hope to see you onboard!

Claudia

Claudia,

We're booked! We look forward to seeing you too.

Colonel Wes & Ida

Colonel Wes and Ida -

Thats great! Looking forward to meeting you onboard..........

Claudia

Sorry but I don't know what a Good Will certificate is. Please, tell all. Babs

O.K.
Claudia M.,Claudia's mom, Lorraine, Colonel Wes, and Ida,
Larry & I just booked DDM. Should be a great little treat, before the holidays. Especially, with all you fine folks onboard.

Marc, I'm confused, are you coming on this cruise?

Looking forward to meeting you all! :)

Trouper 75, They give you a certificate which is good for $200.00pp....A-H category or $300.00pp MS-HS cat. credit, to be used on a future cruise.

Betty

I saw this on the RSSC web site:
WHAT A SCORE!! :)

Betty:

We had thought of DDM as a possibility for the "East Coast" get together. We are arriving home on Voyager just 10 days earlier. It doesn't look like we will have time to sail on DDM.

Mark,

I do remember that discussion. Oh well! :(
Too bad, since you named this cruise. Did you get your tea set?????????

Betty

Betty K,

Thanks for the DDM welcome, unfortunately,
Ida and I decided the 10 day Navigator to the
So. Caribbean was too good a deal to pass up.
Claudia M is joining us, but she will also
link up with you on DDM...have a great cruise.

Colonel Wes

Mark and I will be joining everyone on this Pre-Christmas Caribbean jaunt! Looking forward to a LCT gathering! Mia

Colonel Wes,

Sorry we will not be crusin' together, after all. Guess I can't blame you to pass up 3 days for 10 on the Navigator. Maybe we'll get the opportunity to meet on a future cruise.

Mia, glad to hear you will be joining us. I think it will be a lot of fun. :)

Betty

Betty & Larry, Claudia, Lorraine, & "Mom" -- We are really looking forward to this long Mariner weekend before the bustle of Christmas -- Mark & I both look forward to meeting you onboard!!

Colonel and Ida-- Enjoy the Navigator -- we sailed her in April and had a wonderful trip!!

Mia,

Thanks for the "Fair winds & Strong Seas" you
too & et.al., for DDM!

Colonel Wes

Mia - Glad to hear you will be onboard Mariner! We missed each other on Navigator this past April.....

Wes, I had second thoughts about the 12/4 Navigator and decided to cancel.

Before I forget, Mia, Lorraine has backed out of the 3 nighter, so it will be me, Mom, and my dear friend Wendy.

Claudia

Claudia,

Thanks, we'll miss you, but have a great
time on DDM!

Wes - Thanks! Hopefully our paths will cross on another sailing!

Claudia

Hi, Claudia - We'll see you onboard! This quick three-day trip should be a great prelude to Christmas festivities!! I wonder if Mariner will be decked out in her holiday spendor by the 17th? :banana:

Mia - I believe Betty K and her husband will also be onboard...............

Claudia

Claudia,

Yes, Larry and I will indeed be on DDM.

We are looking forward to meeting you, Mom, and Wendy, and also Mia.

I am sure, considering the awful events of September, in Florida (no more, please), that both you and Mia feel as we do, that Dec. 17 can't come quick enough!!!

Betty

I definitely agree, Betty!!!!! Btw, my friend Wendy decided against doing this one but she will be with me on Navigator 1/8.........

Claudia
