Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Mariner of the Seas

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
So my wife and I decided to take a 7 day cruise to Belize, Roatan and Cozumel for a delayed honeymoon for the summer of 2014 (I can't recall the exact date but it was before June of last year). I heard Royal Caribbean was a more upscale cruise line as compared to Carnival so we went with the Mariner with the Seas. It was recently renovated and it showed. Arrival and embarkation was a breeze. Our ...

We drove down from West, Texas on Saturday and stayed at the Super 8 in Kemah and would not recommend that hotel at all. While we were out for dinner someone came into our room and used our bathroom and the front desk would do nothing about it also our dead bolt would not work. We had to stack our suitcases in front of the door just for a little protection, but enough about that.
We arrived at ...

Well, we entered the Port of Galveston on Sunday, April 7, 2013 to an episode of what can only be defined as CHAOS. Disorganized, people scrambling, long lines, no sense of any real organization (foot traffic or vehicle traffic) other than a lot of people barking orders and no one really knowing what the heck was going on. Our luggage was taken quickly, but as we were waiting in what seemed like ...

We just returned from our Royal Caribbean cruise on Mariner of the Seas. It is our understanding that Mariner will be leaving Galveston and going to Asia in two weeks and Navigator will be replacing it in Galveston. This is going to be a good change, and there are so many things that are alike on both ships, that there will still be the same care and concern for its passengers.
We drove in ...

Embarkation- Computers broke down during the middle of embarkation, it would have been nice for them to keep us updated other than that the line moved very quickly.
Cabin- Perfect. I like sleeping in cold, dark, and quiet which makes an interior stateroom perfect for me. Our room steward was excellent although not very personable. I loved the towel animals and he even made me a few when it ...

We left out of Galveston,not too bad getting on board once we got through the line for security. We were in a JS so got to move to front of line to receive sea pass. Got on board and found our cabins. Met our stateroom attendant immediately. Willy was very helpful and answered all our questions. He was always available and attentive to our needs.
Ate all evening meals in the MDR. Our waiter ...

I enjoyed the time spent in Galveston, and I have to say the good folks of Southeast Texas provided a great deal of hospitality. Thanks, kindly.
On the other hand, the Port of Galveston was a hot mess. For real, people, there should be some type of authority from the great state of Texas accountable for the lack of crowd management. Is this where FEMA directors retire? Seriously, the Port ...

My wife and I recently took a cruise aboard the Mariner of the Seas from Galveston. We didn't find Galveston very interesting and will probably not take any future cruises from this port again. We didn't find Galveston an exciting cruise port town and we would recommend anyone plan a cruise out of Galveston.
If you must plan a trip to Galveston for a cruise, we recommend that you book a hotel ...

This was my first cruise on Royal Caribbean and overall I was pretty impressed. The cleanliness, food, staff friendliness and entertainment were all very good. Its been 3 days since I left and my post cruise depression has hit hard!
As some other reviewers have pointed out, the embarkation process in Galveston is awful. It took us almost 5 hours to get from the curb to deck 4. Once we arrived ...

First off, let me begin by saying that this is my 7th cruise, 5th with Royal Caribbean. (I love Royal Caribbean!) I am only 19 years old, so a lot of my time was spent in Adventure Ocean, but this was my first cruise where I was able to participate in the adult activities. My boyfriend and I (21) decided to take a trip of our own!
We sailed out of Galveston, TX and we stayed in the Hilton ...
