From the start of the cruise until the time we were called for disembarkation, this was a really nice cruise. We are Diamond Club Members of the Crown & Anchor Club with RCI. The embarcation process began as a little slow, but nothing unusual. The RCI embarcation personnel were all friendly and moved our boarding process along quickly. We received our priority boarding pass and SeaPass cards and we quickly boarded the Mariner.

Once on board, were were greeted by the staff and we found that the rooms would not be available until 2:00p.m. So off we went to the Windjammer for lunch. The Windjammer staff was courteous and frindly. We quickly checked out the buffet and found that it was varied and that the food was good. We had one new cruiser in our group and he was amazed at the choices on the line. After lunch, we quickly booked excursions and then headed for our rooms to unload our carryons. We all received our luggage before 5:00p.m. This was great.

We were on the first seating (5:30p.m.) for dining. This was a good time for our group as we like to eat and then spend the rest of the evenings going to shows, lounges, and visiting. Our waiter and assistant waiter were efficient and friendly. They did a good job of taking orders and delivering them. We enjoy dining for the engagement and interaction of not only fellow diners, but also with the wait staff.

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom

Cabin M

9587. Midship port inside room. This room was next to a service area. While it was not always noisy, my wife commented a couple of times wondering what a whirring noise was that was periodic. I also heard a different noise that was a low db level high frequency fluctuating hum. It did not keep me awake, but someone who is bothered by any repetitive noise may find it irritating.
