Mariner of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Because of the excellent service on a ship that was impeccably maintained our first ever cruise will not be our last. We are very thankful for Marlon, Eugenia and Carlos and we will never forget them.

Shows featuring ice skating or dancing were canceled due to ship's movement. I wish they would have a back-up plan for shows on these nights (besides a movie) so that night-time entertainment and expectations were considered--such a singing or good stand-up comedians. Considering some weather adjustments on-board, it was a great cruise.

Great Service! They treated us like royalty. The food was ok. We ate one night at Chops Grille. The food at Chops was amazing!

NICE TIME AWAY FROM HOME. THE TWO PORTS WERE CROWDED.

Nice short break, excellent service.Everyone had fun but the food could have been better.

My overall trip was good. Didn't like the bed in cabin and bathroom was too small.

Mariner is basically a Freedom class. Older Voyager class is 4 decks of cove balconies. This is 5 balconies with glass.

Galveston is not an ideal location to ship out of with regards to the Houston airport being over an hour away.

Amazing adventure meeting new friends and trying new things. Definitely Recommend Mariner of the Seas to any first time cruisers.

Since this was our first cruise we loved every day of it! We will be planning another in 2025

This cruise was wonderful, and we were not ready to leave the ship. We felt we needed another 5 days because it was so enjoyable.

The cruise experiences was overall great but they just need to really focus on keeping the rooms clean verifying that everything is clean including the curtains in the rooms as I mentioned above ours was covered in blood which is how we started our cruise on day one and that was not a very good welcoming also verifying allergies would be helpful I did not like that there was no empathy or follow up for management regarding my allergic reaction from the Chef Dinner.

Royal Caribbean always does such a great job. I love their dining and layout. Wish there were some more mid-expensive jewelry options. I love the EFFY shop, but everything was way to pricy. I needed some options in the $100-$500 range...I just can't see spending thousands for jewelry on a cruise ship. When I asked how much they sold, they said it was tough, no big sales on this cruise. People would buy things if they were quality, but in the cheaper range. Just a suggestion.

Best time, we got to Relax, have Fun and Lots of Laughs with all the game shows to attend. It was beautiful and we felt safe in Mexico at both ports. Definitely will recommend it to our friends and family. Looking forward to our next cruise in 2 more years

Excellent cruise, rooms, food and such. Study everything before you go to have the best possible time.

We had so many negative perceptions about cruising, but this experience, as our very 1st, killed all that. We had an outstanding time and will do it again soon!

Treated me and my wife to this cruise for our 17th wedding anniversary. Ended up catching a flu bug on Friday, which put me in bed all night Friday. We scheduled ourselves to stay in Houston on Saturday and fly back to California on Sunday. Being sick during that time sucked!

I will be traveling Royal again someday, perhaps the Bahamas. This experience was overall great. I love the feeling that they were inclusive with their guests. The staff is the best thing they have going. I always to hope to experience customer service on this level else where but it feels good to know there are still companies that value how they treat their customers no matter who they are. I hope this level of care for guests continues. A couple of bad apples doesn't ruin the experience.

Overall it was an excellent first cruise experience. I'm not sure we are a "cruise family", but we enjoyed the trip very much.

This was our first cruise and we didn't know exactly what to expect. What this cruise did though was exceed our expectations in every way!! If you're thinking about doing it, DO IT!!!
