Review summary

Refurbished ship is beautiful and designed well. Highly recommend but don’t do the chef’s table as it is in a bad location

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Chef’s Table was wonderful but in a BAD location! It’s in a balcony area in the MDR!! The night we went was the last night dancing parade with loud music and it totally ruined our experience. Most Chef’s table dinners are in a private room. Mariner of the seas really dropped the ball on this one! No

First time in a suite. Huge room! Larger than a hotel room! Tons of storage we never used. Bathtub in the bathroom and I took a bath!! Separate vanities with medicine chest mirrors. Balcony had chaise lounges and a table with 2 chairs. Hair dryer was poor quality. Magnifying mirror great for make up!
