We were a family of 10 cruising together for the second time with RCI. Previous cruise was from Sydney Australia to New Zealand on Voyager of the Seas, so we couldn't help but compare as Mariner and Voyager are of the Voyager class.
Embarkation:
We travelled to the Singapore port terminal (Marina Bay Cruise Centre) by taxi from Marina Bay Sands hotel so it was a short journey, arriving around 2pm with no queues. We had previously printed out our luggage tags and filled out or set sail passes, luggage drop off was straight forward and paperwork to get onboard was an easy process, however was a little shocked at them keeping our passports. Overall very quick and easy to get onboard.
Well placed room, not much noise, not too far from the lifts, so not heaps of walking involved. Once the fold out sofa was made into the bed for the kids there wasn't much room for anything else. Great to have a balcony, if not for the view, but for drying clothes!!!!! Loved the room though, room attendant was great.
