Mariner of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean Voyager-class ship launched in 2003, the #20 ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet by size, and its 2018 Royal Amplified refit brought new attractions and refreshed dining. Its 14 passenger decks hold 9 dining venues and 14 bars. Shows run in the Royal Theater and Studio B, where a retractable floor reveals an ice rink. Diners can book Chops Grille and Jamie's Italian, side by side on deck 11, or watch the hibachi show at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi. Up top, The Perfect Storm offers a trio of waterslides beside the Flowrider surf simulator and the Sky Pad bungee trampoline, while Escape The Rubicon sets puzzles for groups. Kids head to Adventure Ocean, and evenings end with Latin rhythms at Boleros or tropical cocktails in The Bamboo Room.
With four sea days on this sailing, there's time for The Living Room, Solarium and Vitality At Sea Spa.
