Sail Date: Feb 2014

We previously cruised with RCI in late November 2012 on a 14 night cruise from Sydney to New Zealand on Voyager of the Seas. When planning a trip to Singapore/Macau and Hong Kong, a cruise out of Singapore was top of our wish list.

I found a cruise on Mariner of The Seas departing 7 Feb, which suited out travel dates and booked via Flight Centre which offered a cheaper price than the RCI website. Note: I put off booking this cruise due to the high prices (compared to Voyager) hoping for a last minute deal. This didn't happen as the cabins were booking quickly and only balcony and suites were available by the time we finally booked.

We flew from Sydney to Singapore the day before and upon arrival were advised that QANTAS had not loaded our luggage onto the flight. The earliest they could get our luggage to us was on the next days flight which arrived in Singapore at 3.15pm. As cruise boarding closed at 3.30pm, we were keen to talk to RCI staff so headed to the cruise terminal early. The staff were fabulous - a huge thanks to Carolin and Magdalyn, who once aware of our problems liaised with airport staff to be kept updated and kept us informed. They also liased with the port authorities and were able to keep boarding open until 4pm, possibly 4.30pm as soon as the airport advised that our bags had arrived.

Cabin Review

Generous size with heaps of storage and good bathroom area. Recommend a balcony if you're budget can afford it. Sea was very calm so being toward the front of the ship wasn't a problem. Bed very comfy and cleanliness and condition was very good.
