Mariner of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Fantastic time travelling with people who had never cruised before. Perfect size boat for them to experience all that cruising has to offer. Great staff and entertainment!

Definitely returning for a repeat Royal Caribbean cruise.

Just a quick addendum, food has gone down on all ships, not just Mariner. We have sailed this ship more than any other RC and are fond of it. It leaves Florida for Texas so we will miss it.

So we sailed on the Allure in November. It is a newer ship and looked awesome. The only downfall was it is quite a walk to get to many places just to the shear size of the ship. This Marnier ship was nice but a little dated. The cruise overall was very nice. Booking through Travel was easy and got us a small credit on the ship and to our store. I do feel like if you book through a service you dont get a great room selection like you would through booking directly with RC.

Mariner is a smaller ship that is easy to navigate i.e. after the first day you wont get lost on it. The dining staff is awesome and service on this ship seems to be better than the bigger ships. The diamond lounge is very comfortable and I would rate it above the Wonder but its small. The Mariner is a great bargain for mature travelers.

The staff is very friendly and helps with any questions.

I also enjoyed the ships beautiful scenery of the water and sky

will never select RC again. again, 18+ years ago, we took a few cruises and enjoyed the experience. this trip was pretty bad and will never recommend or go on a RC cruise again.

Almost perfect! Main dining food could be better, BEDS need burning!

Enjoyed it enough to book another cruise! We will sail again to the Bahamas next time.

We had a fantastic time. This was our first cruise. We are already looking for another cruise!!

Great extended family vacation. Group of 8, lots to do for all ages. Food, ice show, drinks, activities were all top shelf. Ship was clean and staff were all friendly and professional.

Only our second trip, but this one was absolutely wonderful! Rode the slide a few times! Wasn't getting in pool or Jacuzzi cause there was sooo many children in them, and I didn't see any of them going to the bathroom! But other than that, everything else was wonderful!

We had a wonderful time! The only negative experience was the poor quality of our excursion to Pearle Island in Nassau. It was fun, but not entirely as pictured or described.

I have been on this ship a few times and the overall experience was nice.

My waiters in fine dining were excellent! Andi and mamout!

We have always had an incredible time on Mariner. The staff is amazing and you never feel too overwhelmed by all that it has to offer. The arcade could use a lot of improvements, an the elevators tend to be slow moving, but otherwise I've never had a complaint sailing on Mariner. My daughter unfortunately had to visit medical while on board and the staff was very kind and helpful throughout the process. Our room steward was nothing short of amazing and so attentive to us (Mariano). He is VERY much appreciated and a true asset to Royal Caribbean.

This has definetely changed my life. I LOVE the diversity and seeing people get along. It seem like everyone left their problems at home and came to HAVE FUN

The Mariner of the Seas cruise experience offers a lot for a family traveling together for adventure and relaxation. The entertainment was very diverse and well executed offering a lot of fun for all ages. The dining experiences were fantastic with a beautiful dining room and great service. The design of the ship is very festive and pretty with more glass elevators than many other shops in the RC fleet.

Did a tour of the ship below deck. Well worth it. Met the captain, who was most pleasant. Room steward was most attentive. Room and ship was very clean. Went to Izumi and chicken was over done to the point of being touch and almost impossible to chew. Food was abundant and high quality, in main dining room, but noticed, variety and amount of some things was smaller, for example shrimp cocktail. New York strip steaks although delicious were very thin. No lobster night. Obvious, that food options and changes were made because of cost. However, food was delicious in main dining room. Ate at Windjammer several times. Shows and entertainment were topnotch.
