Creator's Key Takeaways

We're setting sail on Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas for an epic 5-day Caribbean cruise.

This is our second time with Royal Caribbean. So, we had a great time our first time, so we had to do it again and bring our son with us.

All DJ needs is a pool, and all I need is a bar. So, I think we'll be just fine.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the app to watch safety briefing videos before boarding to save time.
Bring Lysol wipes to clean surfaces in the cabin.
Store suitcases under the bed to save closet space.

MARINER OF THE SEAS PART 1 | It is EMBARKATION DAY and we're setting sail on Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas for an epic 5 day Caribbean cruise. We’re making sunny stops in Costa Maya and Cozumel, soaking up all the vibes, the views, and the fun. On day 1 we will board the ship, tour our Mariner of the Seas balcony stateroom on deck 7, explored the Royal Promenade, and jumped in the pool. We skipped the main dining room and ate dinner in The Windjammer, which is Royal Caribbean's free buffet. This is our second cruise with Royal Caribbean and we decided to bring our 3-year old with us! Yes, we're cruising with a toddler! We had so much fun as a family. Join us for DAY 1... LET'S GO! The Mariner of the Seas is a Voyager-class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International, built in 2003 and refurbished in 2018. It carries over 3,100 passengers. The ship is known for its amenities, including a FlowRider surf simulator, a rock-climbing wall, an ice-skating rink, and various dining options. #marineroftheseas #royalcaribbean #cruisevlog Timeline 00:00 Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas 01:16 Galveston port parking 03:06 Galveston Port check in 03:46 Boarding Mariner of the Seas 04:58 Mariner of the Seas balcony room tour 10:36 Muster 12:07 Mariner of the Seas Cafe Promenade Pizza 13:30 Mariner of the Seas Royal Promenade 13:49 Boardwalk Dog House 14:05 Mariner of the Seas Pool 15:13 Cleaning and unpacking 17:48 Mariner of the Seas Review 18:44 Where to store suitcase in cruise stateroom 19:35 Mariner of the Seas pool deck 11 20:15 Mariner of the Seas Windjammer 20:56 Mariner of the Seas Windjammer review 21:45 Subscribe . . . .
