Mariner of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

My son enjoyed his 1st cruise on his first college spring break. Glad we were able to cruise out before the cancellations

may try RCI again, but not overall impressed xxxxxx

This was our First Cruise and it was definitely an experience for our whole family. There is something to do for everyone. Food is delicious!!

The dining staff was extremely friendly. Wasn't too excited about extra gratuity charge per person at the end of our stay. Not to mention that they already take out gratuity every time order something. The drink package was too expensive for a 3 day trip. You had to pay for damn near everything else in the ship like activities etc. Wasn't an awful experience but I definitely expected more for the amount of money spent.

Fantastic cruise experience. The staff was excellent and ship was very clean

This probably was the best cruise we have taken in a long time. From the time we arrived at the port to the entrance into our room. Never will we complain about the Windjammer, which is our choice of dining. Chops Grill was the worst experience we have ever had with the Maitre D to the server. This is one specialty restaurant that we always visit at least once or twice on each cruise that we take with RC. Coco Cay was the most memorable experience that we have had at any port. They surely outdone themselves and should be PROUD to take on, as another never forgettable memory. Looking forward to our next cruise with RC.

It's an expensive cruise to nowhere on a suboptimum ship. Avoid. I've taken two other Royal Caribbean cruises that I enjoyed, but it's been awhile. RC has become too enamored of the constant upsell, and considers the money you pay for the cruise just a starting point for providing you a good experience. That's too bad. We've been much happier paying for all-inclusives in Mexico and elsewhere, which provide similar experiences but without the constant grab for your wallet.

Everything was top notch and we will be back next year!

Really nice get away & family time for all of us! The staff is excellent. The food & food service is awesome!

Overall amazing until the end. The key attendant at the end needs to be reprimanded and I wish I would have asked for her superior, but we were ready to go.

I think we are hooked on cruising and Royal Caribbean. Can't imagine another cruise company that could offer a similar experience that we had for the price. Already looking to book our 2nd cruise!

This cruise was everything we wanted and some!!! It was perfect.

Some guests were a little challenging, but if you are young and a first-timer, it's all good. If you're older and a little more intolerant, this may not be for you. Overall, a nice mix of guests. For a weekend cruise, it's perfect, and we will go again. Need to fix the spa location (soundproof it or something). Ice show is terrific! Add another craps table and have a freebie one afternoon were people learn using play money and win a prize. Take out some slots to open up the space in casino because its sooooo crowded in there.

I loved it and I would like to do this same one again someday. Four nights is perfect. The cruise director, Ricky, is EXCELLENT!!

Primary reason for taking this trip was to experience the newer and larger ship; strongly advised by my daughter's previous voyage. We have been to these ports multiple times; including Coco Cay before there was a dock. Just wanted a slightly different experience. Nothing spectacular, good food, excellent service.

We enjoyed the cruise! Mostly for the food, service and coco cay. Otherwise I wasn’t a fan of sitting on the ocean for a whole day instead of going to another island. Being on the ship, other than for meal times, was actually my least favorite part. I was hoping for more quiet time but it seemed like every where I went it was loud because of music. I didn’t really want to sit in our room to have quiet time. I wasn’t a fan of the big smoking section either. I didn’t know ships even allowed smoking. Yuck/ that could be a make it or break it thing for us in the future.

Despite the weather, very windy and some rough seas it was an amazing weekend. Lots to do or just downtime. Will go again

I needed a better summary of activities onboard the ship for those who don’t want exit the ship as well as for non drinkers and little money to spend.

Great shows and activities! So much to do on board! Coco Cay is paradise!Would have gotten all 5's but did have a couple hiccups due to being 1st time cruiser and not knowing information that I felt should have been told (example: dress to impress night is night 2, if you have no card on file there is a $300 spending limit per room, etc)

Excellent experience. Slide was a lot of fun. Coco cay was not great due to rough sands and dirty south beach.
