Solarium is now fleet wide 18 and up, they changed that months ago, I like it. Keeps the teenagers out

This is so helpful! We went on this boat last year, I missed some of these things. We are headed back in 2 weeks. Thank you!

Wild seeing the teen area with very young kids toys. I was on Mariner in 2004 when it was the newest ship (as an 18 year old) and remember hanging out in there. It had a club feel with lots of dancing and I distinctly remember them playing "Yeah" by Usher every hour at least. Or it seemed.

Food for thought, At all the specialty food venues, Try to capture a moment for a menu digital or paper, This way we can pause it to view, Also at Jamies, That is not a pasta maker, that is a manual style old school food slicer

Thank you for sharing! This is very helpful! I suppose all the juice/drinks are extra charge right? Most of the food are free other than those few special restaurants right? How about the Habachi sushi one? Thanks!!
@shuyiyan1482Ай бұрын
And one more question for room selection, I saw spacious ocean view balcony, whats the difference with standard ocean view balcony? Thanks a lot!!!
@HoffmanHappyTravelsАй бұрын
Hi! Drinks that are included are water, flavored water, lemonade, tea, and coffee as well as some fruit juices in the morning. If you want fresh squeezed juices, soft drinks, specialty coffees, and of course mocktails/cocktails you would pay extra. Yes, most food is included except for specialty restaurants. The Izumi hibachi/sushi restaurant does cost extra. The difference between a standard and spacious ocean view balcony is usually that there is more square footage inside the room and sometimes the balcony is larger. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🚢❤️🤗

Great job as always. If I remember correctly you haven't been on Voyager of the seas yet. But do you happen to know is there much difference between these two ships? And what was your favorite place to hang out on the ship this time
@HoffmanHappyTravels5 ай бұрын
Hi Dawn! ❤️ You’re right, we have been on Voyager but they are very similar especially now that SkyPad isn’t functional anymore. This trip we went on the helipad a good amount. Other than sailaway it wasn’t super crowded. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@rickbishop42274 ай бұрын
How about showing what each type of room looks like?? That should be VERY important to decision making.
@HoffmanHappyTravels4 ай бұрын
Hi! Unfortunately during normal revenue sailings, like the one we were on, we do not have access to all the staterooms since they are being used. However as travel agents, sometimes we are able to film room tours of the different cabin categories on certain ships while they are turning over for the next sailing or on special preview events. However this cruise was not one of these situations and therefore we could only show the public spaces. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Yes yes. Even if you decide not to take them to the daycare, which is included except for the one-year-old go sign them up, we didn’t sign up until third day, and I wish we would’ve signed up the moment we got on the ship they loved it, and so did we, you can get care for the one year-old pretty reasonable

Hey there Hoffmans! It doesn't look like I can make entertainment reservations on Mariner. I'm assuming the shows are just walk-in?? It's been a while since we were on Voyager class, and I can't remember how Voyager and Adventure were. 🛳

Hi! If show reservations are not available on the app ahead of the sailing then you can make them in the app after you board! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

We just got off the Mariner, and reservations are not needed. Just arrive early before any performance.
