Seven Seas Mariner

18 Night Classic Panama Canal (San Francisco To New York)

Sail date: September 03, 2016

Ship: Seven Seas Mariner

Cabin type: Suite

Cabin number: 982

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 8 years ago

Review summary

Cabin service, attention to ship detail, personal comfort and food was excellent. For us the downside was the time at sea as compared to time in port and on tours. Ports were typically 8 to 10 hours. While acceptable for Guatemala,  Costa Rica and Nicaragua it was not long enough for Cartagena, Columbia or even Charleston, SC.

Always nice and clean. King bed not really a king in length. Our feet hung over end. Bathroom excellent compared to Princess, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. Service superb.

Ship tip

We opted for higher deck and rear of ship. A bit nosier there and more motion evident. Go for lower decks at mid-ship.

Wouldn't you know your port hours when you booked?
