Southern Caribbean Mariner of the Seas Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

The staff were always kind and helpful. The ship was VERY clean and safe. My main complaint is that 85% of the seats in the English pub POKE YOU on both sides when you try to sit in them. I commented on this to fellow attendees and they all moaned about the discomfort of that pub's chairs. The obvious is "Don't sit there!" I know, but it was the location of the daily meet and greet for newcomers ...

My family of 5, ages 53, 52, 24, 22, 22, chose this cruise because of the itinerary. This was our 10th cruise with Royal Caribbean and we never visited Curaçao or Aruba before.

Had to crawl in to the bed but we knew that when ...

This was our second trip on Mariner out of Galveston. Beautiful ship but probably ready for some updating. Crew overall gave excellent service. BUT... This was the first time we have experienced issues with our neighboring stateroom. We had a honeymoon couple next to us (and probably some other adjoining stateroom(s) traveling with them. They were so noisy yelling and screaming on the balcony ...

Mariner of the Seas - November 25 - December 2/07 There were four of us travelling together for this cruise. We flew into Orlando a couple of days early intending to do some shopping. However the weather was perfect so we decided to do Disneyworld for a day. What a day that was. Very long - we walked from 9:00 am to after midnight. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves but it was exhausting. On ...
