Mariner of the Seas
Sail date: July 15, 2007
I have now taken two Royal Carribean Cruises, and I don't know how other cruise lines work, but I cannot see myself taking any other cruise line in the future. The Mariner itself was a great ship with a wide variety of activities for all ages. Every evening you receive a "Cruise Compass" which is basically a schedule of all of the activities and events that are going on the next day. This helps you plan your day. The nice thing was that even though there were a lot of children on board their activities were kept completely separate from the adults. The crew on board were extremely friendly and helpful with any problems that occurred. And did I mention the food?! Food 24 hours a day and the dinners were spectacular. Its like eating at a 5 star restaurant every night. Then there are shows after dinner with everything from dance troops to concerts to comedians. Royal Carribean really is the life.
