THE GOOD Embarkation: This was a breeze. We parked at the Park N Cruise outdoor lot across the street from the cruise terminals. We love to be able to roll our luggage right from the parking lot directly to the cruise terminal. No shuttle bus needed, and it is a short stroll to the ship both coming and going.

Luggage drop off was chaotic but manageable. We used the Platinum line, but didn't notice much of a line elsewhere. We were on board in 15 minutes from start to finish.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D3

Mariner of the Seas Cabin #6218. This was a nice cabin towards the front of the ship. We enjoyed sound of the water hitting the hull under our balcony as we slept. It was akin to hearing the sounds of waves on a beach and we loved it. We did not notice any noises other than the sound of the anchor being lowered off the coast of Belize. It was also a good location for a quick trip for morning coffee. All you had to do was go down one deck and you entered almost directly into the part of the Promenade Cafe where the Seattle's Best Coffee was located. The main dining room and Windjammer was located on the other end of the ship. The workout facility and sauna was located above our part of the ship. We found our elevators to be a little less crowded than the other elevator banks on the ship. We think it was because we were away from the main pool area and the dining rooms.
