  • I'm back with a my series for Best & Worst Staterooms on ‪@RoyalCaribbean‬ Ships. Today's video is the Mariner of the Seas.
    How are those corner aft balconies? Have you heard of the "stripper pole" rooms? I go over all of these today.
    If you are an experienced RCCL cruiser, these videos are probably not for you. These videos are geared towards cruise novices or those new to Royal Caribbean.
    These videos are long and not intended to be watched in their entirety. Feel free to skip to the section you are interested in using the chapters below.
    As I mention in the video, check out ‪@RoyalCaribbeanBlog‬ all information about Royal Caribbean. I used CruiseStateroom.com for the deck plans.

    What’s the hump? We just got off Norwegian Breakaway 6/2024. Our first cruise and we were ready to go back. And we are planning on doing Royal Caribbean.

      The hump is when you look at the deck plan and there's a literally hump. Many times, these balconies are larger (not always). But typically, these are very central staterooms.

    Planning for an August sailing and your video was super helpful! Just wish I found it before I booked a guaranteed balcony. lol Thank you so much!

      Keep checking prices, as they occasionally drop.
      Also, you may be able to bid on an upgrade through RoyalUp. I am planning a dedicated video on that soon, but I go over it in my Day 4 Recap from the Freedom of the Seas posted back in July

    You are SO right about deck 7 aft corner balconies. We've stayed in them on Mariner, Freedom and Explorer. By far our favorite in that category. The balcony totally makes those staterooms. Only issue I've found is that now they don't seem to be available to book for only 2 people, they only show up if you book for 3 people.

      We are a family of 3 so this would be perfect! Is the couch in the room a sleeper sofa?

    👍🏾Getting ready to cruise in November on the Mariner...our room is 7388, and It makes me really excited to hear its a favorite! 🤗 My partners are first time cruisers, and I now know it'll make a great impression! Thank you so much for this review, this is exactly what I was looking for! It is so informative, also efficient to have the time stamps.

    I came here and watched to the end to check out the 3v 4v interior and to see if there were pics and of course those were the rooms that were skipped. My luck

      Sorry. You can check out the website cruisestateroom.com for pics. Also, next time, there are time stamps in the description box so you can skip to the section you want to see.

    We just got off the Mariner’s first trip to Bermuda. The ship is worn and torn. It’s in bad shape in all the public areas.
    Seats falling apart, bathrooms smell. We went for the Destination NOT the ship. 🤷‍♂️

      That’s sad to hear. That’s how the Majesty was at her end.

      Wow ! So glad I saw this review I’ve been looking at an august 8 night cruise stopping in Bermuda for 3 days. Thank goodness o saw this because this will be my family and I first time. Want to have a good experience especially sleeping on ship 8 nights. I’m going look at the newer ships as of now. I really want an enjoyable ship not anything so old and run down.
