RC Mariner of the Seas

Hey All! Has anyone done this cruise? My sister's friend went on this and they had a horrible time. Bad food, sick, etc. We were planning on going this Sept. Please email me and let me know, [email protected]. God Bless, MaryKaye

I am really surprised about a Royal Caribbean cruise being bad. I have taken at least 7 cruises with the line and all have been GREAT! If your sister had complaints, she should call or email RCCL. The timing in Sept. may not be so good. It is hurricane season. We always avoid that time of year - mid August until late Oct. Cheryl

I agree with Cheryl about the timing of the cruise. My son's honeymoon was nearly ruined by Hurrican Floyd in mid-Sept '99. I cruised on RC Adventure of the Seas in mid-March '04, no problem whatsoever. Planning to cruise again in March '06. God bless those huge ships--had no motion sickness even though I've always had a problem with that. (The cruise in '06 will be post-surgery, so that aspect will be new for me. Any feedback on eating right while cruising?)

We have sailed on hte Mariner 2 times, December 02 and Jan 04. The first time the ship wass only three weeks old. Your going to have a great time. This is a wonderful ship. The most important thing to remember about cruising is you only get out of it what you put in it. Get involved and have fun.

Hi MaryKaye, I live near Port Canaveral and went on Mariner this past Jan 05. It was by far the best cruise I've been on. This was my third and all the cruises have been out of Port Canaveral. First cruise was RCCL Splendor of the Seas 4 days to Bahamas, then Carnival - Fantasy 4 day to Bahamas and then 7 days to East Carr. on Mariner. I really like RCCL line. The staff is great. We had a problem with our dinner table mates and they fixed us up with sitting with some other people on a different floor so we wouldn't even have to see the other people who made our first evening horrible. I loved the gym and spa and spent two days by the pool. The water in the pool was ice cold. Seas were a little rough at times, but no seasickness for me. This was pre-surgery. I am planning on going again in 2006 to the West Carr on Mariner. I loved this ship. So much artwork and great food and met some incredible new friends. Hope you find your trip great. The best prices are during the Sept - Dec months due to hurricane season. It may be stromy in some area, but the ships go far enough away to keep from having too much trouble with them. However, if you are leaving this week, you may have some problems with the current storm near cape canaveral. Best of luck to you, Lori Cullember
