February 2016 - 4 Night Port Klang & Phuket (Singapore Roundtrip) Cruise on Mariner of the Seas
Mariner of the Seas
Sail date: February 09, 2016
My first and LAST cruise with Royal Carribean
We were a group of 10 travelling with half of the people doing cruise for the first time with the other half seasoned cruiser.
Upon boarding, we were immediately pressured by staff as sales people to purchase better/premium meals.
ALL food on the cruise was cold to lukewarm EVERYDAY. We had to ask for coffee to be reheated to get it extra-hot. This was only avilable if you were staying in Gold Suite. Which should not be the case.
Horrible experience with Shore excursions
Rude attitude from staff and misleading marketing information - NO unlimited Ben&Jerry We read from the reviews online that when we board the cruiseline they would have Ben & Jerry’s store, and we would only need to pay an entrance fee to have UNLIMITED Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream. When we enquired about the unlimited ice-cream with one of the Chinese female staff who served us, we were greeted with frowny face and were told in a rude attitude that there is no such thing
Cruise tips
Penang (Pulau Pinang), Malaysia
Had a VERY VERY BAD experience with Shore Excursion. We immediately complained after our trip but damage already done. You are better off organising and taking your own trip
Don't go to the tourist trap restaurants. The Chilli crab and the Hai-nan Chicken and the chicken soup is not all that it cracked up to be.
Mariner of the Seas
DON'T GO ON THIS SHIP! and no these capital letters are an understatement. I had half of the people who were cruising for the first time with us and they ALL said they would NEVER DO cruise AGAIN as their option to travel.
You need to negotiate for a price if you want to use local taxi.
