Mariner of the Seas

7 Night Western Caribbean (Port Canaveral Roundtrip)

Sail date: April 08, 2007

Ship: Mariner of the Seas

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

The ship was beautiful! There is always something going on. I liked that there were decks on floor 4 in addition to the upper decks. You could get out and see the ocean without all the crowds on the lower decks. The crew was top notch. Though we are not high rollers and about as average as you can get, the staff remembered us every time and made our stay very personalized.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

It's Jamaica... It's a not so clean place, but beautiful. Dunn's River Falls is a a great time if you've never done it before. The city tour was actually pretty cool. It took you through Fern Gully, gave you lots of history/way of life and took us through a tour of a beautiful garden.
Don't Miss: The Garden

George Town, Grand Cayman

Cant find clearer water than here! The coral reef is amazing. This island is much more "Americanized" than the others. There really arent many people hitting you up to buy their stuff or get in their cab. It was a pressure free, beautiful island.
Don't Miss: Snorkeling in the coral reef

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Great Beach! The guided jet ski gives you some history and is a lot of fun. Bring exact change for shopping though. Since RC owns the island you use your Sea Pass for drinks and the island vendors take cash.
Don't Miss: Any water sport where you can get out and see the island

Cozumel, Mexico

Little different than the others when you get off the boat. Machine gun guard on roof of buildings, but once you past that it is normal. There is just a ton of things to do here and have clear water. We visited Playa Mia and for less than $100 for 2 people we ate and drink (beer and daquiris) all day long while sitting on a activity filled beach.
Don't Miss: Playa Mia
