Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Mariner of the Seas

I had sailed on RCL 2 previous times and had been very pleased with my experience. However, this cruise was not to be a repeat of the previous ones. I have not sailed from Galveston before so I can't say that my embarkation experience was unusual but definitely unlike previous ones. We stood in the sun for about 40 minutes before we were able to get into the building and then about another 1.5 ...

Booked in to a Best Western in Galveston and did not get a wink of sleep because of the room next door. This was my first time to have an interior room but ended up loving it. Very quiet and dark, which I like for sleeping, but the only draw back is waking up and wondering is it am or pm. I loved the days at sea. All the people on board were around my age. Unfortunately I ate most of my meals ...

Not first time cruisers, but this was our first transatlantic crossing. We were not sure what to expect. We had read so many reviews and scoured the internet for information. Here's the BIG PICTURE summary:
Fantastic cruise that was not boring or too long by any stretch of the imagination. Mariner of the Seas was a great ship with fantastic service. We don't think we could ever take a cruise ...

Air Travel and Embarkation We used RCL Choice Air. The airline (U.S. Airways) was fine, getting us to Rome an hour ahead of schedule. Our luggage arrived as scheduled. RCL personnel were at the airport to meet us. We left our bags with them, and were taken to the ship by bus by way of a three-hour tour of Rome. For some this might have been a fun sightseeing tour. Since we have been to Rome, ...

We originally planned on going to Rome for a week but soon realized it was cheaper to take this cruise back to the states than fly back! 16 nights for $509 pp. This was an unbelievable bargain. Especially starting in Rome and going to Corsica, Mallorca, Cartegena, Spain, two different stops in the Canary Islands and Nassau before disembarking in Galeveston.
We spent 6 nights pre cruise based ...

We flew to Miami with Copa Airlines from Southamerica. Originally we were booked to fly with Aerosur, but this airline went bankrupt before our flight. We lost the money of the tickets bought with Aerosur, since nobody feels responsible for the refund.
We arrived in Miami three days earlier than our cruise. We have spent a couple of nights at South Beach close to Lincoln Road. The hotel was the ...

Mid-50's empty nesters celebrating 35th anniversary with a transatlantic cruise. My wife is paralyzed on right side so uses wheelchair, thus we booked accessible balcony cabin (category AX) over a year in advance. After booking we learned Mariner was scheduled for drydock (and later Royal Advantage upgrades) just prior to the sail date.
Pre-Cruise: Flew US Airways to Miami and stayed two ...

We traveled from Rome to Galveston, TX on Mariner during Oct./Nov. 2012. We have traveled on multi-lines and ships throughout the world. I shall not dwell on the ports except to say that they were all nice and welcomed our visit. We did not utilize the shore excursions available and prefer to use local transportation. As a general comment, the weather was great and the sailing went smoothly. The ...

Our cruise plans were made far in advance, but how could one fly to Rome without seeing the sights? One glance at hotel prices in Rome encouraged me to rent an apartment for a couple weeks. We settled into an apartment in Trastevere just a block from the pedestrian bridge Ponte Sisto south of the Vatican. Fortuitously, we stayed just around the corner from an English language bookstore whose ...
