Our favorite cruise and ship thus far. Fantastic staff and service, beautiful ship, great time all around! Hoping for another trip on the Mariner in our near future!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
RC's online check-in process is simple and beyond worth it! We had such an easy time boarding that it set our first day of to a incredible start!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food on this ship was by far the best we've ever experienced on cruises past. Outstanding quality for such a variety. Loved every meal.
Onboard Activities

Entertainment
4 out of 5
I give this a "Good" and not "Excellent" rating because of the main theatre's variety show. The ice skating show was STUNNING. "Excellent" all around, we went to see it twice! The variety show however was bad... very, very bad. So bad that we left in the middle of the second song and actually filed a complaint at guest service for the vulgar behavior depicted on stage! This ship was filled with families and young children and that show was not for young eyes nor worth the sit-through for the older ones! Yikes.
Children's Programs
We kept our kiddo with us the whole time. What we saw of the programs looked very good though.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Far-surpassing all expectations! The staff and service of this ship were truly beyond spectacular. It was the best cruise experience we've ever had and we will be searching this ship again for future cruises, we were so impressed!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We enjoyed the designed of this ship. Easy to navigate for sure and only a few places where you had to change floors to get from one side of the ship to another. Cleanliness was absolutely stellar. Never saw a thing that look unkempt or dirty.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our cabin was an interior which is always a tight space. However, this cabin did feel especially small compared to our previous interior cabin experience. It was still very well cleaned and we had a wonderful housekeeping staff!
We did not visit this port due to the heat/weather and the busyness of the island for having such a small child with us. We do plan to visit in future cruises.
We enjoy walking around the town and seeing the buildings and the bustle of Nassau. Would not recommend doing that unless you are confident in facing multiple solicitations. If not, be sure to book an excursion through your cruise line.
We did the self-assist disembarkation because of our schedule. It went very well for us but we were up early and able to be near the front of the line. Would not recommend unless you are able to do so. It gets crowded quick!
Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve seen several recent reviews where people said it was terrible, food, entertainment and service weren’t good, etc. I’m not sure what people are expecting or are used to at home, but we’ve always found the food on cruises very good, entertainment interesting and service excellent.
