Review summary

I loved the interaction between the Captain and the guests. Every day he would get on the intercom and address and explain what was going on. It made such a large ship personal.

The food was average.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Many options included extra charges. We should have brought more card games.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All Staff was friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Joel (bartender @ Wig & Gavel) He answered all of our questions about living on a Cruise Ship. He was GREAT!

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
Cabo was beautiful to see from our balcony, but once we got there we were flooded with annoying vendors

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Beautiful. We walked on the beach and enjoyed the view. Breathtaking!
Don't Miss: The beach @ no charge

Mazatlan, Mexico

1 out of 5
This port looked dirty and unappealing.
Don't Miss: Miss it...its not worth it.

Pros: The Mariner Of The Seas was beautiful, modern and elegant.

Cons: The constant reminders of additional gratuity
