Review summary

I really enjoyed sailing on the Mariner of the Seas. The ship is just beautiful. Lots of dining choices. The cabins are a bit small but then again how much time do you spend in your cabin. The dining room staff was the best I have ever encountered. Our waiter made it a point to remember all of our names. The shows I saw were very good especially the ice skating show. It was amazing what they could do on a small rink.

We took an island tour on our own. Next time I would book it through the cruise line. The island is worth seeing.

We did the snorkeling which was a lot of fun. You have use of the equipment for as long as you want for the whole day. The kids did the aqua park but were disappointed.
