Really nice get away & family time for all of us! The staff is excellent. The food & food service is awesome! - pattyf5673

Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas is a great family fun/party ship for a quick getaway to the Bahamas. The ship had everything we wanted: great food, great drinks, pools, shows, and plenty of fun. CocoCay was great. The food and drinks on the island were also very good. My husband and I already talked about doing this cruise again. We would definitely recommend. - mdevlin

Really enjoyed it. Very relaxing, and no pressure to do anything but what you felt like doing. Plenty of things to do, and actually too much food to eat! Very clean ship and great crew. - captbattillo

Overall this was the best family vacation we have had. It was the perfect amount of time and there was something for everyone. We have 17 in our family that went on this trip and everyone enjoyed it. - vhold
