Mariner of the Seas Reviews

It was a good first cruise for myself. I wish I would have choose a place with more stops since our day to COCOCAY got cancelled! but other than that I enjoyed relaxing in the sun and the food was great.... the dining staff was probably the best i have ever came in contact with! (joey and Latifah)

Despite not being able to dock in Coco cay, and the vultures in Nassau, our cruise was amazing. The ship has so many things to do. You don’t even need to get off the boat!

The cruise itself was good we had a blast just didn't like the way they did my drinking package i bought a unlimited package but could only get one at a time the ship was big and clean and there was a lot to do food was good room service was great

The staff was superior on the ship than the island. Good short weekend trip blemished by neglected property. Atlantis was an enjoyable trip on Nassau and left time for a bit of shopping.

We were happy to partake of this cruise as a family, regardless of anything that was negative.

Trip was fun! Always remember to look at the daily schedule for events. It would have been nice to know that we could check into our rooms immediately on the first day. Food was great but expect similar meals daily at Windjammer. Unfortunate that we didnt even receive info that our excursions was cancelled until we checked with the staff. Do not travel on holidays as most excursions are not available. Unlimited ice cream was awesome!

I enjoyed the entertainment. Good job to the entertainment team specially Ricky. The food was great. Amazing personnel.

Overall I enoyed my time on the Mariner of the Seas.

Undecided on using Royal Caribbean in the future.

My daughter and I had a great time together! I did not like the layout of the ship as much as other RC ships ( I missed the large atrium of the other ships). The shows by the RC singers and dancers were not as good as previous cruises. The dance parties felt cramped on the promenade. The comedian was very funny. The food was great! (Lots of vegan choices for my daughter in the Windjammer.

Initially very excited to go on a new ship for us (Diamond Plus members). However, our My Time Dining experience was Horrible. We were placed in terrible crowded location while numerous open tables existed nearby. After day 2, we decided to eat in the Windjammer. We were also told by head staff, that on 3 and 4 night cruises dress standards are relaxed in Main Dining Room. Very disappointing. (shorts, tank tops, flip flop shoes, etc) Not what we are used to from previous RC cruises.

Try to plan your activities and shows you want to attend ahead of time, dinner time is not set in stone, we made reservation and changed it, we didn't want to stress about making it on time. You're on vacation, so enjoy being lazy and relax.

The cruise was really good. I loved many things except the fact that cruise companies are out to make too much money. I will definitely warn my friends about spending excess money on drinks, gratuities, towels for pools, paying for water etc. I had received only $50 on board credit which is nothing compared to the $1000 I paid over the actual cost of the cruise. In summary this cruise was really awesome except the attached price.

I recommend this ship. The staff is 100% awesome! The activities and even relaxation is great. The adults only solarium is a great place for unwinding and relaxation.

Royal Caribbean is the best cruise line and I don’t plan on going on any other cruise line but Royal Caribbean. I am a loyal repeat customer for years

Cabin Steward Francis was outstanding. All I had to do was ask. Waiter Cyrus and asst. waiter Joko were outstanding. Service was prompt and very courteous.

Other cruises I have been on had comedy shows or something almost all day long. This boat had very few shows and the shows they had was always Latin dancing which I like but I wanted a variety of music. The pool party only lasted 2 hours and only included a DJ that played music and a belly flop competition. Fun but only 2 hours long. Other cruises I was on had fun pool parties all day long. I also want an adult section. It’s not fun watching infants run around while I’m trying to drink and have adult fun. Overall the boat was great but it was boring. Also Coco Cay used to be a place to relax in a hammock and drink. Listen to music and eat. Now it’s just like going to a resort beach. It’s not the same as years ago. Lost the “private” island feeling.

The Mariner of the Seas is one of the best refurbished cruise ships to take for a short time cruise. Lots of activities for kids and family, service is great and the room attendant/lounge concierge are very professional. Highly recommended!

Wonderful cruise... great upgrades, not sure if the staterooms were updated, still seem kind of out dates. But very clean. Tito, Ronald, and Eduardo were wonderful

Terrible awful & I would not recommend this trip or cruise ship to anyone. The boat was old, no shows, terrible food every night was awful, no internet service, you pay for everything, the windjammer buffet was terrible please close it because the food was terrible & to exit the workers did not have a clue how to do it. This trip was to expensive ($1700) for my family to have an awful time. I’m disappointed in my travel agent for even recommending this cruise line, ship or anything about this trip. Also this 1.2 or 2.4 stars is a lie. I have start over with the ratings because something is triggers the system to put false stars. My rating is a .0 honestly.
