Mariner of the Seas - RCCL

I just got back from a 2-day cruise to no where. The ship was Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas. This was my first time on Royal Caribbean and I was very pleased with the ship. Perfect for the 29-54 age group. The goal was to show 7-days worth of entertainment in 2 days. I saw the Ice Show, which was full of very talented skaters. I also enjoyed watching other people climb the Rock Wall, while I played hoops below. My favorite part was sitting with friends on the Promenade in bars like Wigs and Gavels where we had great live entertainment throughout the night. The best food I've ever had on a cruise ship was in the specialty restaurant "Chops." It was just like Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Yum!

Cruise to nowhere

Tomorrow morning I will depart on my first ever cruise to nowhere. Royal Caribbean has invited me to attend their 2-day cruise to nowhere on the Mariner of the Seas. The ship has been newly refurbished, and they are ready to show it off. We just go out to sea for two days. Fun little weekend getaway. :)I'll be back to tell you all about it on Sunday.
