Review summary

Very good cruise. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The Mariner is a beautiful ship and great if you love the small, intimate sailing of a traditional cruise ship and not the Mega Ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The only downside is that they completely ignore check-in times. It went pretty smooth though.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

This may be an unpopular opinion but the CoCo Beach Club is not worth the money. Some people will disagree with me. The good perk is leas crowds and easy bar access. The food is bland and when you sit outside the flies are terrible. The lobster had a very distinct smell that didn’t seem to be natural. The island is beautiful. Going to explore other areas next time.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

This is the only negative. The whole point of buying “the key” or “having status” is so you can embark and disembark without long lines. The 7:30 am “Pinnacle,Suite and Key guests” was literally half the ship. They need to actually enforce these times.
