We have sailed on the Mariner before, but the atmosphere on this cruise ( Empires of Antiquity) seemed to be more relaxed and organized. Perhaps it was due to Captain Felice Patruno and Cruise Director, Lorraine Weimerskirch. We've been sailing on the Seven Seas ships since 1992 and this is the first cruise with Captain Patruno and Lorraine.
The crew seemed to be very happy with their jobs and to be on the Mariner.
The included wines were some of the best that we have had on a cruise ship.
Ninth deck mid ships. Comfortable with a nice step in shower with a rain head.
