Review summary

Liked the short itinerary, but wouldn’t sail on Mariner again. I was surprised how old the ship felt. They need to replace the cabins and spa/gym at the very least!

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
It’s looking old in many areas, especially the gym, spa, steam & sauna. Also the soft furnishings throughout were looking tatty.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
In over 33 cruises, this was the worst cabin ever! Firstly, it looked like something from the 70’s. The sofa was filthy as was the carpet. The beds were terrible. So hard it felt like we were sleeping in the floor. Didn’t have a single good night and was glad to get off in the end.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Very easy to get to from Orlando

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Been here many times. So stayed on the quite ship!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Loved everything, its very impressive. The only thing that let it down were the large amount of flies! That wasn’t so nice.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Perfect. Walked straight off!
