Hello All,
My Bride of 26 years and I just returned from our 2nd Mariner of the Seas cruise in the last six months. We sailed on her Western Itinerary back in May of this year and loved it so much we chose the 11/9/08 Eastern cruise.
In both sailings we chose a Grand Suite which was spacious and very well appointed. These suites have a TON of storage and the Bathroom is no exception; 2 Medicine Cabinets, drawers in the vanity, a large shelf along the left wall, etc. Booking a suite has a few perks and the concierge services you receive are valuable; Spa, Specialty Restaurant reservations, Ice Show Tickets, etc. are all taken care of by the concierge and the actual lounge is a great meeting place.
1578 on board Mariner of the Seas is centralled located, pleanty of space expecially if you like to relax in your cabin and a very large balcony with a Chaise Loung, 2 chairs and a table large enough to eat at. The bathroom is large with double sinks in the large vanity that has plenty of storage including 2 medicine cabinets.
