The Mariner of the Seas is a refurbished Voyager-class ship running short Bahamas and Perfect Day at CocoCay itineraries from Florida, which positions it well for passengers looking for a 3-to-5-night sailing without a long drive or flight to a departure port. The Royal Promenade gives the ship considerably more interior social space than its exterior dimensions suggest; Café Promenade, Portside BBQ, and the Royal Promenade bars all draw traffic through the day. Chops Grille and Giovanni’s handle the sit-down specialty dining for evenings when passengers want a step above the main dining room. The Royal Escape Room and FlowRider see strong participation on sea days, and the ice-skating production shows run on most evenings at sea.
