Creator's Key Takeaways

It's going to be a great day at sea.

The nightclub on Mariner of the Seas gave what it needed to give.

Today was a pretty chill day. We made the most of it with events they had.

That DJ is probably one of the better DJs I've seen in this Royal Caribbean fleet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be aware of smoke smell on the Lido Deck when choosing a spot to sit.

YouTube Video Description

It’s Day 2 and our first sea day on Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas! After an eventful embarkation day, PJ and I (Phil) decide to sleep in a bit before heading up to the Lido Deck for some classic cruise fun in the sun 🌞. We kick things off watching the hilarious Belly Flop Contest and doing some swimming of our own. Later that evening, it’s Formal Night, so the fellas and I clean up nice and enjoy another funny, laid-back dinner together before heading to a Broadway-style show with some incredible singing and dancing. But then things take a turn… 😂 After the show (and a few cocktails), we stop by the Finish the Lyric Game Show in the Star Lounge — and then decide to check out the nightclub on Deck 14. Here’s the catch: we’ve got PJ with us! 😅 So we come up with a “genius dad plan” — we take turns watching PJ while the rest of us go inside to dance and party. The music was bumpin’, everyone was having fun, and yes… even PJ had a blast outside the club! Let’s just say our wives would NOT approve of this one. But hey… no wives, no rules! 🤣 👉 Would your spouse let you get away with this on a cruise? Comment below! We hope that you enjoy our content from this series.
