Review summary

We sailed on the Mariner of the Seas for the first time this past week. The ship itself was beautiful, the room was spacious, and the food was absolutely delicious! As far as the cruise went, there was always something to do, the crew was very friendly and helpful, and the time really flew by. Most of the community on the ship consisted of couples and families with older teenage children. Not much to do for the single travellers, but all in all, a great cruise.

This stop was a complete dump. Very poor community... Continually getting asked if we wanted a taxi ride or to buy some weed! Next time, I think I will stay on the ship...

Very nice place to visit. Gotta stop by Carlos and Charlies and get a giant size margarita!! It rained on this day, so we didn't try the beaches...

Nice area to visit, beautiful beach - the 7 mile beach - but needed a cab ride to get there. About 5 bucks per person to get there. Shops kinda pricey though...

Not much to do here other than hit the beach and the cookout. Stay away from the flea market! Those people will not leave you alone!

Pros: Cleanliness of the ship

Cons: Additional costs associated with pretty much everything!
