Mariner of the Seas Review

Additional details
Mariner of the Seas - June 21 - 28, 2009First a little background. This is my first cruise on the Mariner of the Seas. It is my sixth with Royal Caribbean and my fourteenth overall. I will be on the Mariner OTS again in April 2011. I am in one of the two center "hump" balcony cabins on the port side, deck seven.
In the past people have asked for more details. To accommodate this request I type my reviews while on the ship, while the events are still fresh in my mind. I am sitting on my balcony as we head south toward Cabo. The sun has just gone down, but it will still be light outside for another thirty minutes. It is a little on the cool side, which is just how I like it.
This is the first time the Mariner has returned to Cabo since mid April because of the swine flu (I forget the PC name for the disease). Also on this cruise are friends from my prior cruise, though we booked this cruise first (more than two years ago). I can thank the online cruise forums for that.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin 7620 is one of the two center cabins on the "hump" on deck seven. It is a cat E2. If you want a cabin that only your neighbors can see into (if they look around the divider) then this is the cabin for you. I had no problem seeing forward or backwards, and if you look straight down, you will see the water. The balcony is fully covered. Plenty of room for two (it only sleeps two).
