Mariner Of The Seas Review
Review of Mariner Of The Seas
The 2003-built Mariner of the Seas cruise ship is the 5th Voyager-class Royal Caribbean liner, with sisterships Adventure OTS, Explorer OTS, Navigator OTS, Voyager OTS.
History - construction and ownership
Royal Caribbean International (RCI) is a US passenger shipping company, trademarked travel brand and subsidiary owned by Royal Caribbean Group (RCG/shipowner). RCI was established in 1968 and currently has over 1/5 of the worldwide cruise market. RCI also has RCCL's largest fleet as both numbers of vessels and GT tonnage (ship sizes and capacities). All RCI liners have names ending with "of the Seas".
The 3300-passenger ship Mariner OTS is largely the same as her siblings, but was the first of its class to get Royal Advantage upgrades as part of RCI's USD 300 million fleet renovation program for adding Oasis-class features to the older boats. As such, cruisers who sail on a Voyager-class ship are able to experience a number of twists beyond the signature ice rink, rock wall, and Royal Promenade.
Decks and Cabins
Mariner Of The Seas staterooms (1667, in 33 grades) include 119 Suites, 638 Balcony, 226 OceanView, 138 Promenade View, 546 Inside. Most cabins are sized 150-160 ft2 (14-15 m2). Most cabin balconies are sized 50 ft2 (5 m2). The largest is Royal Suite (1090 ft2 / 101 m2 plus 215 ft2 / 20 m2 terrace with Jacuzzi). Wheelchair-accessible cabins are 26.
The boat has 15 decks, of which 14 are passenger-accessible and 9 with cabins.
Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks
Mariner of the Seas features a 3-deck main restaurant with music-themed design. Each of its three levels has an appropriate musical name. The von Trapp family tableau adds charm to the room. A nice touch is also the live music on the upper landing of the ship's staircase. However, the primary dining experience aboard Mariner includes two alternative restaurants. A steakhouse atmosphere is offered at Chops Grille. Giovanni's Table is an Italian themed restaurant that serves Caprese salad, herb focaccia, pasta, and braised meat dishes. Both are reservation-preferred eateries (book up early, since reservations can be made pre-cruise, online). Giovanni's levies a US$20 surcharge; Chops Grille is US$30.

Mariner Of The Seas Wiki
Mariner OTS was constructed in 2003 in Turku Finland at Kvaerner Masa-Yards (now part of STX Europe / division of STX Holding, South Korea). Ship's godmother was Jean Drsicoll (US athlete). She has participated in four Summer Olympic games and won 5 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze medals in wheelchair racing. She also won the Boston Marathon 8 times, which is a record achieved by no one else. The naming ceremony took place on November the 14th at Port Canaveral (Orlando) Florida. After the naming ceremony, on the 16th of November, Mariner sailed on her maiden voyage to the Eastern Caribbean with destinations like Puerto Rico, Nassau, and Saint Maarten.
Being one of RCCL's really big ships, Mariner has the 4-deck high Royal Promenade, in size longer than a football field. This is one of the liner's most popular public places, and despite that, it has no windows it is still a breathtaking area dazzlingly illuminated all the time. The Mariner ship's decoration is "Art Noveau" style marked by beauty and simplicity.
