This review is in tribute to all who post ... Your posts are very, very helpful! Hugs!
Background: 2 (young!) seniors, 3 in their 30s. No children. Got a fab. rate reduction thanks to Cruise Critic posters, so a great value.
As a cruise agent and veteran cruiser, I have to say that Mariner of the Seas during Spring Break had lots of activities for families. Huge ship fully loaded (3500 pax.) Excellent staff and crew, well-trained and friendly. I hadn't been on a RCCL ship in years and this was my first experience with this class of their ships.
Typical RCCL inside cabin...comfortable, ample closet space and
bathroom. Our stateroom was 6 cabins down from elevator so it
was convenient. It's a big, long ship so try to book near
elevators. In-cabin mini-bar for cooling own drinks.
