Review summary

Second time on the Mariner. I live in Orlando, so I love the convenience of Port Canaveral. Ship is really nice and spacious. Just seems like RCCL has gotten a little cheap. The Crown & Anchor stuff was el cheapo. Constant reminders about gratuities becomes nauseating. Sodas, ice cream, Johnny Rockets, alternate dining, children's club after 10pm were all extra $$. And full cruise ticket price for a 1 year old baby?? Shame on RCCL for that. Our one year old doesn't eat anything or make a mess worthy of a full fare.
