We had a good time on this trip, cruising is always fun! Sadly, we did find that Royal Caribean continues to decline in quality and value. The ship was extremely overcrowded. The public spaces are just not enough for the number of people on the ship (Mariner.) The Windjammer was jammed at every meal. Almost impossible to find a place to sit. Possibly because the food in the dining room was poor so more people went to Windjammer. Dining room was repetitive, few choices and poor quality food. Disappointing given Royals past glory in this area! Entertainment was ok. The comic was awesome and the ice show was very good. Terrible 80's show in the center area. We took 2 excursions and were satisfied with both. On a positive note they seem to have gotten control over the situation where people drop a towel or a book on a poolside seat and leave it there for the whole day but show up to use it only for an hour or so. Did not see any of that and we could find chairs every day.
