I was told around 90-95%. this was a 5 day cruise..

If you have internet access, sure.

Wife and I have done this 3 times each with zero issues… I recommend it.

Fair enough..I may board a Virgin one day, but honestly, the lack of a drink package holds me back…

No covid, great short 5 night cruise for the Wife’s birthday. Great bar service…food in the buffet was not up to my expectations, the buffet was lacking in my opinion...did not eat in MDR.. Playmakers food was on point..pizza was fine. Room service breakfast 3 days was on point. Mainly I sail Celebrity…but will take a Royal when it fits for things like this..plus I can drive easier to Canaveral. I do like the layout of the Mariner..lots of places to get outside the ship..especially the bow. Helipad, over the bridge etc.. Spacious ocean balcony was nice..Elroy our room steward was great. Captain Tobias seems great, we had a medical emergency on board, had to full speed back to Canaveral the last night for a patient, we arrived about 3 hours early, and probably used a good bit more fuel, nice to know they will do that for a passenger. Embarkation and disembarking were maybe the easiest I have in my last cruises..well done. Walked out of the room at 7:05 am, out of the parking deck at 7:30. On a side, Freedom was beside us on Monday the day we embarked, my Wife and I both thought she was showing a lot of rust…so glad everyone that boarded her are safe.

I’d rather have a drink package myself..

I enjoyed this entire thread..thanks.
