Mariner of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Tired and old décor and furnishings. Boring decks with child-like décor. Most of the outside deck areas needed repair and replacement. Deck chairs looked like garage sale items. Most of the services, entertainment and food were to please the Asian customer. Little attention was paid to premium specialty restaurants.
Cruise Line describes Suites as something special. Unless you can't live without the extra space, save your money and get a balcony cabin. Suites do not use space efficiently. Why would a cabin over 800 sf make passengers 3 and 4 sleep on a couch and not have a second bed? Not even a couch that makes into a bed, but on the couch that lays flat! Why would a dining table be needed in the cabin? Decks are not spacious and furniture is old.
No premium services are offered to Suite passengers. The Concierge Lounge has limited service and no service during many hours. It looks like a converted inside cabin. Nothing special. Clearly the space was not intended to be a lounge. It is often crowded and seating is not situated properly.
Cabin Review
Owner's Suite
Large cabin with descent sized bathroom. Lots of closet and storage space. Laminate throughout the cabin is discolored and doors don't close properly. Two doors leading to the deck are nice to have. Deck is very small compared to the suite. The TV reception is from 1980 at best and the remote did not work properly. English channels are limited and the same programming was offered every day. Pay per view channels were offered, but the remote didn't work to find them.
