This was our 7th cruise and 4th on Carnival. The water on this ship had a very bad odor and taste. All of the drinks, ice tea and juices, had the same bad taste. The room service was not the best we have experienced. I would not recommend this ship.
This was our second trip to the Mexicican Riveria. This cruise was even better than the first. The first was also on Mariner of the Seas, in 2006. The ship has been renovated and enlarged. This cruise topped the first one. The ship is absolutely beautiful and really big. I enjoyed all our meals in the dining room and was very impressed with the waite staff. I would do this cruise again.
