Mariner of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was a very relaxing cruise. I enjoyed wandering about the ship and chatting with our new acquaintances. I have been to Nassau and Coco Cay on other cruises and did not go ashore at those stops. They are nice places but my mobility issues makes it difficult to get about.

The ship and scenery very good. Tour was supposed to leave at 8:00 am, did not leave until, approximately, 8:45 am. They had us wait until they could get more buses. Had to sit in single seats and could not sit with our spouse.

Labadee needs more upgrading. The lack of freshwater washing makes playing in saltwater a nuisance in the heat. I hate drying in a salty suit. Makes my skin burn and itch. The food was lousy, with little variety. Haitian locals will beg you to see their shops, reminiscent of going to Carib cities in general. They actually have security, some with sidearms, watching the tourists for their safety. It is very scenic and makes a good impression overall. Unless you pay extra, the really fun stuff (ziplining over the water) is “display only”. Needs to add more showers/footwash and better food at a minimum. CoCO Cay is the best island experience I have ever had. I am 71 years old and very well travelled. They hit it out of the park with this one. Great EVERYTHING! Please add a convenience footwash where the dock starts so I don’t bring sand aboard. We had to use the kiddee splash park in an awkward fashion to get the sand off. Everyone else copycatted and trashed the small area with lots of sand. Don’t they notice this stuff? They nailed everything else! Please upgrade. It was fantastic! Truly “perfect day”.

Really great trip to share with friends. It is a fun cruise, no excursions needed as compared to traveling to Europe or the mediterranean.

Just wasn't fun this time, need to look at some different options. Been cruising with Royal. other company Celebraty. Bad that sailing status credits FROM CELEBRITY don't count for RC cruises unless you are Diamond status. Taking another look at Norwegian since we left them because of open dining.

Other than an awful tour in Bermuda, that WAS NOT booked thru Royal Caribbean, it was a good cruise. Not our best (it was our 28th), but very relaxing.

This was an excellent cruise to Bermuda, our first time there. The ship, the ports and especially the crew were wonderful.

Magical, with the exception of embarkation. Hopefully, RCCL will fix this glitch for future passengers. It created undue stress and anxiety for me and my BFF travel partner, through no fault of my own. Hardly the way to begin a vacay. Once on board, a sigh of relief and a perfect cruise! Using Nancy Starr Nelson, Vacation Specialist at Dream Vacations, was the best decision ever. I can't imagine trying to get through all of the embarkation obstacles without her, she intervened on my behalf and surely deserves a medal for doing so. Without Nancy, I'd be waving goodbye with tears in my eyes, to all of my Friends, as the Mariner of the Seas sailed without me. Seriously, I was *thisclose* to not going. Grateful I did. All glory to Nancy!

I liked this cruise because you had a lot of relaxing days and a few ports but not a lot to do in those islands which forced me just to relax. The ship was ok not glamourous by any means. We chose to go when school was in so that it was mainly retirees cruising. Because of that the venues were not packed with kids. I had a nice time- no regrets.

Cruise was great. great itinerary. Cruising allows for relaxation.

The cruise was very enjoyable—except for all the smoking in the casino.

First time to ABC Islands. Ship had about 80% capacity. My opinion is that was too many at this time with covid. Both my husband and I tested positive on our return. Several other passengers were also positive. Need to go back to wearing masks indoors and in crowded spaces. But overall we had a lovely time on the cruise itself

Mariner of the Seas is a fantastic ship, has a terrific crew and awesome Cruise Director! I love the Voyager Class ships. They are perfect for longer itineraries!

Overall there were a lot of changes since we last cruised . We had a great time.

We had very great experience even though it's our first time crusing.

Overall I enjoyed my cruise, however there was no distancing or precautions to prevent covid and I've learned that many on the ship are now sick. I believe that the ship being so full at this point in the pandemic is not safe since there was no way to distance from others. Also very disappointed in the food at coco cay.

Perfect ,ship was perfect . Loved the open area in middle of the ship. Food was great

Great overall cruise and would go back on this sailing again.

We are a repeat visitor to Royal Caribbean and the Mariner of the Seas. We hare never disappointed in the ship, staff and all that it has to offer.

Cruise was nice. Port access from airport was costly.
