We are happily on board the beautiful Mariner. This is the first time we've seen the new and improved coffee corner. Very nice! We also are in one of the cabins with the great showers, for the first time.

The weather could be a bit better. As Luke reported, we missed our first port in Princess Cay. They just felt that the wind was too strong for tendering to be safe. They did the island bbq on the deck instead.

We enjoyed a nice lunch yesterday with Lindy & Mark, who were on the previous cruise and agreed to hang around and have lunch with Larry I on board. Great to see them both.

It's been fun seeing Luke and Paula and their friends around the ship.

We enjoyed a nice visit with John Barron yesterday. What a nice guy!!! He says he will be on the ship for the next eight weeks.

More later.....
