It was our first time to sail at this time of the year. We had a good time aboard the Mariner. The highlight of our entertainment was hearing "The Texas Tenors". It was the best show we've ever seen on any cruise. The service was average. Nothing remarkable, just average. The food in the main dining was good. Our waiter was terrific. Dinner at the speciality restaurant Choppes was excellent and reasonably priced.
The ports of call, Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Montego Bay were average. There were 6 ships in port at Cozumel. 5 in Grand Cayman and just us in Montego Bay. Just too many people to enjoy the area.
The Mariner took special care in sanitation. Everywhere you went, there were hand sanitizers. You were required to use one everytime you entered a dinning area. People were stationed encouraging your use. I witnessed lots of cleaning on handrails, buttons on elevators, lavatories. They did a great job. The royal promenade was the delight. They had adequate areas for seating. The art aboard the ship had to be best I'd ever seen. The decor, lighting and display literally was breathing taking. The main pool areas were nice but crowded a good part of the day.
