My husband and I traveled with our 3 children ages 7, 4 and 1 year. We have done quite a bit of traveling across North and South America and Europe, but this was only our second cruise and a first for RC.
The quick review for those who don't want to read the pay-by-play:
The Mariner is a beautiful ship, the food was top notch although repetitive, and the staff was well trained.
