🚢 Mariner of the Seas: Pros & Cons | Royal Caribbean Cruise Review 🚢 Welcome back to Grateful Living Cruises! In this video, I’m diving into the pros and cons of Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas, a Voyager-class ship that strikes a great balance between size, amenities, and value. Whether you're planning your first cruise, traveling over 40, cruising as a plus-sized traveler, or simply want to know if this ship is right for you—this review is for you! 🛳️ I recently sailed on Mariner of the Seas (yes, including a hurricane adventure!) and had a lot of thoughts to share about dining, bars, lounges, entertainment, staterooms, and what it's really like onboard.
