Mariner of the Seas is the 4th in the series of Voyager-class vessels that began service in 2002. Mariner is very similar to the Navigator, also featuring an ice skating rink, rock-climbing wall, in-line skating track, horizontal atrium, and inside-facing cabins with a promenade view. Like the Navigator, this vessel appeals to people of all ages -- kids to seniors -- and with nearly every taste and style, there are a few enhancements that won't be found on the Voyager, Explorer or Adventure of the Seas. While the Portofino's Restaurant is on all the sister vessels, you also get a chance to try Chop's Grill. The sports bar found on the earlier ships has been replaced by Vintages, a bar for wine tasting and purchases, and the sports bar theme is given over to the 19th Hole Club. The balconies on this ship extend further out from the side of the vessel, allowing more light to the cabin, hydraulic lifts for the physically challenged have been added in locations not present on the earlier ships.

There are three miles of public corridors, but the hallways are run in such a pattern that you don't get a sense of the full distance, plus excellent signage precludes anyone from getting too lost. The ship could have benefited having additional elevators as two banks of four elevators are there to service 3400 people over 14 decks. Wait times can be excruciating and patience needed.

The 500-foot-long, four-deck-high Royal Promenade is much like a real street, with a cherry-red British Morgan car parked outside the English Pub. The promenades are lined with cafes, a 24-hour eatery for pizza, pastries and sandwiches. Shops, including souvenirs, liquor and cigarettes, and others display their items outside on days at sea.
