Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Eastern Caribbean from Port Canaveral (Orlando)

I just returned from my second cruise... things that stand out as being exceptional on this second cruise are the crew were exceptionally attentive, pleasant, and genuine. Particularly our room attendant Tangan (?) and our dinner servers Igede and Sanjay... that said, each staff person we encountered was wonderful. One of the drink attendents even remembered what we had chosen the day before, even ...

My first ever Royal Caribbean cruise experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Traveling solo, I embarked on this adventure with high expectations, and the cruise surpassed them in several ways. The standout feature of this RC cruise was the impeccable staff service. From the moment I stepped on board, they recognized my solo traveler status and went out of their way to ensure I felt ...

I picked this cruise ship to renew my vows. I had an awesome time on the ship. GSM, Mr. Gerald, was the sweetest person on the ship. A big heart. Ronald, Tracy who works in Promenade Cafe... Ostestes in dining room 3..., and Dinelo were SUPERB. ❤️ The ship was clean, workers were very helpful and friendly. Food was amazing!! New, clean towels daily, menus in the cafeteria changed ...

We've been cruising since the 1970's with RCCL and are Diamond level customers. We will not cruise with RCCL again !!! RCCL has cut back on selections and the quality of the meats served in the Main Dining Room and Windjammer Buffet. We paid $8K for an 8 day cruise with a spacious balcony cabin, drink packages, one specialty dinner and The Key. The very least RCCL could do is serve a ...

We love Royal Caribbean, we've sailed tons of times. This cruise was different, room was only cleaned once a day, dirty towels left from day to day. Asked crew member about the captain and they didn't know his name or anything about him. Dinner service was the worst, no personal interaction, no jokes, no laughter...just very cold compared to all previous ships. We had been told on the phone ...

Our trip went to Labadee, San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Croix and Perfect Day. Embarkation was very easy and practically walked onto the ship when we got there. Our first stop was to get our safety briefing which has been modified to watch a video (do it before you get on the ship) and you were ready to cruise. Windjammer Cafe was well laid out with lots of options. It did get pretty crowded at ...

We have sailed on over 7 cruises (RC, Carnival and NCL) and this was the most disappointing cruise yet. The most glaring disappointment was in the food and beverage area. While we (myself, brother and Dad.. to celebrate his 90th birthday) managed to find something to at the Windjammer buffet MOST of the time, the main dining room was horrible, both for breakfast and especially dinner. It seams ...

We live in Florida just over a 2 hour drive from Port Canaveral or The Port of Tampa. We have sailed numerous times out of Tampa, but this was our first sailing from Canaveral. The drive to the port is a breeze, just over 10 miles from I-95. The issues we discovered were mostly parking related. No valet service ( as in Tampa ), parking can be quite a hike from the terminal, and a real issue in ...

We chose this cruise for the ship size and port location close to our home. Having sailed on the Mariner in the past we were familiar with her layout, service reputation, cleanliness and attention to detail. She did not disappoint us. If you are looking for a good cruise experience, the Mariner provides most of what the larger newer mega ships are offering, with fewer passengers on board, easy ...
