Review summary

What a great vacation!!! The crew was outstanding. They made me feel like I had known them forever. While I was aboard ship, I was the most comfortable. My first excursion "Ultimate ", was ok; but, weather was way too hot for me to enjoy it. The Captain Morgan Sailboat was great!!! The snorkeling, just swimming in the bay, rum punch while floating in the water...wonderful!!!! But, really enjoyed being aboard ship the most. The stage shows were fantastic. Bingo would have been more fun if I had won, of course!! The food was fantastic. Buffets were great, but I have to say, dining in the Top Hat was the best!!! The attention paid to us was phenominal. We had a quadraplegic in our party, and our waiter jumped right in and cut up his meat for him, allowing his wife to enjoy her meal without interruption. I'm sorry I can't put his name in here, because he went above and beyond his duties with us. I told my grand daughter of the experience and now she's thinking of a cruise for her and family!!!! You can depend on me spreading the word of Royal Carribean's Mariner of the Seas.
