Mariner of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Ship: Learned that it was commissioned in 2003, but hardly could tell. Sure there was a bit of wear here and there. But then again, I don't look for nit-picky details like that. The ship's layout is one of the better that I've seen. Very few dead ends. Movement about was easy. Loved the gym and hot tub there. Better than the gym I go to! At night on the bow of the ship, they have most of the lights out forward of the ship. The stars were bright and beautiful. Nice chairs on deck 4 to view the ocean. Top side had a nice relaxed happy atmosphere.
Staff: Very helpful. Our state room attendant was one of the friendliest we've had. She made no mention of rating her or anything. She just did a great job. Always a smile. Flavio was one hell of a dancer, got people into it. If I had 1/2 his energy and 1/2 his hip movements, my lady would be a happier person and I could finally finish the gazebo.
Embarkation: Went smooth. Got there around 10:30a. On board around 1:30p.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Great cabin, bathroom best I've seen. TV squeaks a little when ships rock. I put some towels around it and it stopped. Sometimes you have to be McGuiver. You can hear low banging on the other side of the wall. I don't know if there is a hallway back there or not. Not enough noise to be a concern. This cabin is quiet and dark, dark, dark.. *happy Hardly any traffic in the hallway.
