Review summary

We enjoyed Mariner of the Sea and spent this cruise mostly in the Casino. Its a smaller boat but perfect for a weekend cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had The Key & also stayed in the suite. From parking to cabin took us about 10-15 min.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Izumi was fantastic & we also enjoyed the bolognese in the MDR. Love the Bamboo room pouches for select drinks ( makes drinking your cocktail around the ship so easy, no spills in crowds and I carried like a purse.)

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Everything was clean however, the yoga matts & foam rollers in the fitness center need to be changed out.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Our room attendant Alfredo was fantastic however, our Grand Suite cabin had a joining door to a smaller cabin with a family of 4. They had 2 kids under the age of 5 that continuously screamed bloody murder every night multiple times from 8pm - 5 am. It was absolutely miserable and there wasn’t much guest services or security could do to help. Also not a huge deal but operating the lights throughout the room was very confusing and a few bulbs continuously flickered.

Ship tip

Check out the Bamboo room there are only 2 ships im the fleet that have this bar with the cocktail pouches.

As some who had been cruising since the Voyager and Freedom classes were the largest on the seas, it cracks me up when someone refers to one as a "smaller boat" lol
