Creator's Key Takeaways

This is October 18th, 2025 and it's Ryland's 7th birthday and it's her first cruise.

I've been in the pool more on this cruise than I think I have in the last 10 cruises combined.

Dining was a great experience. Make sure you check it out when you're on Mariner of the Seas.

It's a little different than our previous style with a seven-year-old instead of just me and Tanya.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the pool deck before 10:30 AM to secure a chair.
Make dining reservations on day one to avoid wait times.
Be patient on disembarkation day and follow your assigned time slot.
