Review summary

So we sailed on the Allure in November. It is a newer ship and looked awesome. The only downfall was it is quite a walk to get to many places just to the shear size of the ship. This Marnier ship was nice but a little dated. The cruise overall was very nice. Booking through Travel was easy and got us a small credit on the ship and to our store. I do feel like if you book through a service you dont get a great room selection like you would through booking directly with RC.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was pretty quick and easy for the most part.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I gave it 4 stars. The food was very good , especially our 2 meals that were considered "specialty" meals. One was Jaimes Italian and the other was a private lunch after taking the Galley Tour both were amazing. The alcoholic drinks however were kinda weak and some lacked the expected flavor that you may come with a bright looking island drink.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Pools and hot tubs were clean and well kept. The casino was also decent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I believe all of our service was excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The Mariner is decent but doesnt really compare to the newer ships touchs and details.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin was acceptable but pretty small. There wasnt many outlets in the cabin. i had to run an extension cord to the other side of the room for my sleep machine.
