Having taken its maiden voyage in 2003, the Mariner of the Seas has built quite the reputation for itself and is universally regarded as one of finest ships in Royal Caribbean’s line. This reputation was further improved only a few years ago, when the Mariner of the Seas went an expensive refit that modernized the ship in accordance with Royal Caribbean’s newer (and bigger) cruise ships, like the Oasis of the Seas.
While it may not be the largest ship in Royal Caribbean’s line, it’s certainly one of the best.

As with the line’s other ships, the focus for the Mariner of the Seas is all on guest experience. Whether you’re looking to have a relaxing adults-only time, or you’re looking for a vacation experience that’s fun for the whole family, this ship has got you covered.
