Thread: Information about the Mariner

Thought it would be a good idea to have a thread that is used for information about the ship.

Found this information today:

Passengers and crew on the Royal Caribbean International ship Mariner of the Seas consume 20,000 pounds (over 9,000kg's / nine tonnes) of beef, 28,000 eggs, 8,000 gallons (over 30,000 litres) of ice cream, and 18,000 slices of pizza in a week.

Thanks for the great info Mary.

The Mariner is the newest of the Voyager cllass ships.
I sailed on the Voyager and now am booked on the Mariner.

Yeah Reggie, we were counting on you going with us too!!!!!

Does anyone know if the Mariner will be doing any longer Mexico runs while it is here on the west coast? I was hoping for 8-10 day ones.

Janice this one is an 8 day/7night cruise. It leaves on Sunday and comes back on the following Sunday.

I did check for you and there are none that are longer at this time. We are waiting to see too what they do for Sep 09 --- ship repositioning.

Come join our fun in Apr 2009. You would only have to fly down to Los Angeles and it is completely different ports than our Spirit cruise.

A good thread on "All Things Mariner OTS"

My money's betting Mariner does the 7 night MR cruises year round.
RCCL did leave it open when they stated Mariner would be sailing
year round from the west coast. They didn't lock in a port or itinerary.
