Creator's Key Takeaways

If you haven't cruised before, I mean, the views are just alone worth it.

My salmon was a little dry. I'm not going to lie. But I finished off.

We got to do better. We got to do better, Royal.

MARINER OF THE SEAS PART 2 | We’re sailing on a Royal Caribbean cruise Mariner of the Seas and it’s our very first sea day! Today, we’re giving you the real deal on what it’s like to cruise this ship — from the food to the shows, to… yep, a bellyflop contest! Come along with us as we explore everything Mariner of the Seas has to offer on a perfect day at sea. Join us as we dive into the Royal Caribbean experience—the good, the bad, and the ugly. We’ll walk you through using the Royal Caribbean app, explore the Mariner of the Seas onboard activities (yes, we hit the arcade—and yep, some machines were broken), and share our honest takes on the dining room meals. We also check out an evening show at the Royal Theater and give our unfiltered review. Plus, we hit the fun stuff on Mariner of the Seas: the FlowRider surf simulator, sports court, and the Perfect Storm water slides. Come along for the ride and see what cruising with Royal Caribbean is really like! 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.
