I have been on the Mariner of the seas before, I loved the food decided to book again months later. The food both on the buffet and restaurant was all days the same, very disappointed, because in the past was not like that, the prices are high now, and the food is worst than COVID times, I dont understand why the change... The cruise is clean and their island is really nice, did a good job ...

My son & daughter-in-law have been on many cruises and decided to take their 7-YO and 5-YO on one. As grandma I went along to help. The three shows we went to were amazing and kept the attention of the two boys, one who is super active. The climbing pad was a huge hit and they spent a significant amount of time on it. The time spent in Cozumel was at a beach resort and the boys really needed ...

Let me start by saying I gave a two star rating ONLY because we had a safe cruise. Now for my review, me and my family (around 20 of us) choose this cruise because we wanted to do a holiday cruise since our children are now older. All of us are experienced cruisers to include our children, as such we know what to expect during a cruise. Well, this cruise was problematic from the first day we ...

This was our first cruise post pandemic and we were all very excited to be back. Our family of 5 (3 adult children of 23, 20 and 16) were very excited to be back on the high seas with RCCL as were my wife and I. We have been on 4 previous RCCL cruises, 1 Disney cruise and one Norwegian cruise so we're not new at cruising. On the good side the ship was clean and well maintained. The ...

This was my first cruise in 20 years, I picked the Mariner due to its smaller size and leaving from a Port closer to home. I found ship to be very well maintained for its age. We had an interior cabin on the 8th floor near the elevators and didn't experience any noise issues. All crew members we encountered were friendly and helpful. We ate dinner in main dining area every night at 5:30, we had a ...

The service was great we were roomed on deck 8 and our cleaning service guy was amazing, i did not get his name though. Two others stuck out as well we had dinner at 8pm on deck 5 in the dining room of the ship and our waiters Anthony Ming, and Agostino were the best by far. They deserve recognition for how great their customer service was. They made our trip for sure, really kind and funny guys, ...

The music was very ...

I went to call and the phone was filthy!!! The amount of crud around the buttons was so thick, it was a petri dish of germs! I made the mistake of picking up the handset only to discover as I was bringing it to my face that the ear piece was covered with makeup. This white phone had a tan! I'll bet this is exactly where I developed COVID from 3½ days later. The more I looked around the room, the ...

This was our very first cruise for my wife and I. No special occasion, we just decided since we live in Florida, we might as well try a cruise. I bought our tickets through an agency my work uses and that was seamless. We picked a balcony cabin on the 7th deck, 7658, thinking that level will be quiet and conveniently located. My wife can’t walk long distances, so she used a transport ...

I mainly chose this cruise for the convenient 2-night itinerary to Coco Cay for my daughter and I. A few of the highlights and tips: Service: everyone was friendly and helpful. I didn’t get a sense they were understaffed, which I know has been a complaint for many lines. Food: Jamie’s Italian was excellent. The buffet was decent for buffet food. They kept the stations filled even with the ...
