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

I very much regret our latest cruise on Mariner of the Seas. We went during a busy time (spring break season), but the boat felt especially crowded. It was very much akin to how airlines started squeezing as much people in during the last decade or two- the cruise felt overbooked and there wasn't a single space, bar, or restaurant that wasn't jam packed or didn't have a line. In addition, the ...

Was the 1ST cruise I have ever been on but the experience was amazing. My wife gave me a heads up on what to expect - but the actual experience exceeded what I had in mind. The Ship: The ship itself is an older 2003 (not sure if that's considered older by experienced crusiers). Either way, the ship was very nice and clean throughout. Working as an area custodial supervisor I can tell the ...

The MDR service was good but the food was just not edible. The saving grace was the dessert. My mom ordered a NY steak strip medium, however it was more like a skirt steak and it was well done and tough. I ordered chicken on two nights and both nights the chicken texture and flavor was not good. Even for breakfast our toast was not toasted, it was still soft. My daughter ordered the free ...

FOOD... 1. Buffet -Desserts 50% had no flavor -Food was warm to fresh -Tables were constantly cleaned -Staff very attentive 2.

Pool -main pool is not heated cold -chairs good luck finding one after 9ish 4. ...

My #1 criticism about this ship was the elevators...so really, that's a pretty good thing. That said, I don't recall a ship with consistently longer wait times than this one. I don't know what the reason for this is (programming maybe?), but it was enough that we'd usually end up bailing and take the stairs. Not a huge deal, but it would be if we had strollers/wheelchairs etc. The Windjammer ...

I picked this cruise when I found out my 2 sisters were sailing on it . Jeannie has never been on a cruise so I wanted to make this a special time for her . I boarded the ship and waited in the schooner bar . And enjoyed a mock cocktail before going up to the windjammer . I saw my sister sitting at a table she was so shocked to see me . I was so happy to find them both enjoying lunch . We sailed ...

I booked my first cruise with Royal Caribbean as a tribute to a childhood friend (and RCL Employee). I was pleasantly surprised by pretty much everything. My only "complaint" was that the scrambled eggs at the Windjammer were gross, but easily forgiven due to other options. Didn't care for my meal at Jamie's, but that could easily be because truffle based meals just don't jive with my pallet. The ...

family trip, i wanted carnival the majority wanted royal caribbean.. lost my grandkids luggage and did nothing to compensate my daughter.. we had to go into the port and buy clothes.. they wouldnt even wash the clothes they had worn on the boat. gave my daughter a credit to use in gift shop but the gift shop didnt have anything for kids besides a bathing suit was overpriced. to this day over a ...

We are Diamond Plus members of RCCL loyalty program and enjoy the perks that go with that. The over crowded lounge was very niely solved with the generous number of drink vouchers provided each day. We hung around the Schooner Bar (our favorite since the demise of the R Bar on this ship) and found staff and selection of drinks great. Why we did not give cruise five stars. Menue selections ...

This was nearly our 20th cruise and definitely one of the most fun cruises. The CD and her activity staff were pretty amazing. They just made the cruise an absolute blast. The definite highlights were Quest and Love and Marriage. And the shows were definitely better than average. The food was hit or miss. Some of it was good and some wasn't very good. The Italian specialty restaurant was ...
