Review summary

Overall the Mariner of the Seas was a fun ship and our cruise director (Dan Dan) was great.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

15 minutes from shuttle bus to Ship. It couldn't have been faster.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Jamie's and Chops were great. The MDR and the Windjammer were ok. I'm not a fan of the new menu. I liked when they had the salmon, spaghetti, steak and chicken to fall back on if the choices were mehhh!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed all the activities and the pools. Just wish they would have enforced the saving of chairs around the pool. I know it's a problem on a lot of ships but this one was terrible. We came back early from Bermuda and found almost all the chairs taken with towels but only maybe a 10 or 12 people at the pool. Some days we saw chairs with towels empty for hours.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The piano player in the scooner bar with wonderful.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

All the staff was so nice. I hate to not give them 5 stars but our waiter spent 4 of the 5 days we ate in the MDR telling us about the survey and how to rate him. I know they always mention it but this became ridiculous and started ruining our dinners.
