cruzndiz Posted July 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Fellow Cruisers! I have been on multiple Carnival cruises over the years but for our 25th anniversary, DH and I decided to go the luxury route and found a great Southern Caribbean itinerary on the Seven Seas Mariner. Have not seen too many reviews on the ship -- and none too recent. Any comments from past guests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatKat in Ca. Posted July 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes, the ship is a wonderful ship. All suites. Great food and service. Are you prepared to never go again on Carnival? You won't want to after your Regent Experience...at least that is how we felt (we never did Carnival - but some other lines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted July 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Mariner has been reviewed 7 times in the past 6 months right here on Cruise Critic! http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/getreviews.cfm?action=ship&ShipID=133 Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paint Horse Posted July 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Great ship. My wife and I were on it about 7 months ago. Except for a couple of extremely minor issues, I cannot recall any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadagal Posted July 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2008 We were on the Mariner in March. She is a beautiful ship in excellent condition. Fear not.....you will enjoy your cruise immensely. She is a completely different experience then Carnival. Kindly post your impressions upon your return as I'm curious to hear how you like smaller ship cruising compared to the mainstream experience.

kittylee Posted July 13, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I agree with ChatKat. Once you go with Regent, bye bye Carnival. My first Regent experience was 10 years ago on Song of Flower and I have not cruised with another line since. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cattravel10 Posted July 13, 2008 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ditto! My first cruise was on the Norwegian. After trying Regent, I was hooked. Just got off my 7th cruise with them. Outstanding service, food and the all-inclusive you can't beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzndiz Posted July 16, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks so much to all posters......I am taking a mini-cruise in October just because the anticipation of my January cruise is causing me too much anxiety! LOLOLOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaCruz Posted July 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi Fellow Cruisers! I have been on multiple Carnival cruises over the years but for our 25th anniversary, DH and I decided to go the luxury route and found a great Southern Caribbean itinerary on the Seven Seas Mariner. Have not seen too many reviews on the ship -- and none too recent. Any comments from past guests? You will love the Mariner! We just got back from Alaska and this was a very beautiful ship and everything is excellent from the quiet, spacious rooms and balconies, to the fabulous food and service. We took a galley tour and were impressed by the high standards of food preparation and storage. This ship is the only one to get 100% on it's government inspection. You won't want to go back to Carnival after you experience this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted July 19, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I agree with all the positive comments regarding the Mariner. One additional item is that it will be in dry dock just before your cruise -- the Regent management team has a few changes and additions in store during dry dock!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
