Your floating resort

The Mariner of the Seas cruise ship is one of Royal Caribbean's second generation Voyager class ships. She has a twin sister, the Navigator of the Seas, and went through a very extensive renovation project in 2014. Her godmother is the American Paralympic athlete, Jean Driscoll.

The newly added features and activities are really impressive and include Playmakers Sports Bar and Arcade, and two FlowRider surf simulators. They also added forty more cabins as well as new dining venues, which gave this 15-year-old ship that all-important popular new ship feel.
