Wonderful way to escape the work at home and at my business. I definitely encourage all sailors to NOT get the Internet package, shut off the phone, and have fun. This isn't flying; so, make sure you can be flexible. Your schedule isn't guaranteed.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

The folks at the Galveston Pier and Parking were very helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We only ate in the included dining rooms. Food was very good and I loved the Dog House.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We enjoyed the miniature golf contest, the trivia games. Didn't get in the pools -- too crowded.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The comedy shows were fun.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Cordial, professional, and very informative.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Mariner of the Seas is a bit dated.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We were very comfortable and room was clean. The noise from the ship's wake was disturbing.

Ship tip

The trip is really a four night, 3 day cruise because you only have a very small part of a day on the embarkation and disembarkation days.

Avoid the Royal Caribbean shops right at the dock. Walk through and out the back to the city.
