Description

The fifth and last ship in the Voyager class, Mariner of the Seas is distinguished from the first three ships by its stained glass balconies. It has spacious hotel areas spread over several decks and large bathing areas: at the heart of life on board is the splendid Royal Promenade, overlooked by most of the interior cabins. The Royal Promenade is the heart of life on board and most of the interior cabins overlook it.
Recently it has been intensively refitted with more cabins and new public areas and attractions. It is certainly one of the best ships in the Royal Caribbean International fleet.

Westbound Crossing 2012, eccellente

I liked

Servizio e qualità ovunque.

I didn't like

Veramente niente

Comment

Prima esperienza in Royal Caribbean, semplicemente straordinaria in tutto. Cabina, ristorazione, servizio, gentilezza. Tutto al top, con grande cortesia e disponibilità del personale. Una delle crociere più belle.

Giusto rapporto qualità/prezzo

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Solitamente scelgo crociere di più alta “qualità”, se così si può dire. Nonostante ciò mi sono trovato abbastanza bene, niente di speciale, tutto nella norma, anche se il cibo è a dir poco scadente. È un esperienza che non rifarei ma che tutto sommato non ha avuto troppi difetti (intendo in relazione con il prezzo pagato).

Per essere una nave del 2002 mi aspettavo di peggio. Super attrezzata, piena di piscine, scivoli e altre attività sia per gli adulti che per i più piccoli. Ha superato le mie aspettative.

The best time ever taking part in all the sporting activities on offer with friends old and new. The nightlife was fab and the casino offered hours of mindless fun.

It was surely a pleasant experience. Cuisine was delicious and the cabins were good. Restaurant staff was slow, so this area should be improved.

Not my best Royal Caribbean Cruise

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

A back to back cruise on the Mariner of the Seas from Singapore. Well organized itinerary and nice places to visit. The Royal service, which is always great, was not particularly efficient on this cruise. We had problems with the restaurant shift and some discomfort with the cabin bathroom. However, Mariner of the Seas is a ship that I like very much.

Difficoltà con la lingua per i bambini

Ottima ristorazione, questo è un punto forte. Il sistema "americano" ha necessitato di un pò di tempo per abituarci ma tutto sommato è stata un'esperienza molto positiva.
