Sail date: January 02, 2012

Ship: Mariner of the Seas

Balconies are not sufficiently private. The partitions are translucent. The balconies are subjected to smoke and noise from other balconies.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Breakfast food was lukewarm or room temperature five minutes after the buffet opened.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Ports of call were unattractive, tourist traps. Activities were limited and popular activities were standing room only.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Crew was generally friendly but overbearing in requiring passengers to use hand sanitizer before entering dining areas.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship would be nice if it were much less crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Balconies are not sufficiently private. The partitions are translucent. The balconies are subjected to smoke and noise from other balconies.

Pros: Finally getting off the ship six hours past the scheduled time.

Cons: Competing with 3000 people for limited space and resources.
