(Likely in the morning hours only). Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes them about 5 minutes to set up/tear down the courts. Edited June 10, 2023 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like the itinerary and price of your cruise, you will have a good time. The food was quite good, the service was excellent. Agree. Have sailed her twice. Current crew is top notch. Didn’t like the CD & staff as much as most. To his credit, he was everywhere lol. Not sure when he slept SMH @ those who swear the MDR food is awful. Zero complaints from us on sailing a month ago, although we chose wisely. Even the WJ our last night was fine, well executed Greek offerings. casino is dreadful, so crowded and crazy Smokey. We went early before it got busy to make our nightly donation will say, with a missed port due to medical emergency, just too many sea days for my liking on a 9 day. wouldn’t complain in a bigger ship with more to occupy us. We mini-golfed several times and watched flow rider & ice show twice. Comedians, mostly a miss for us this go round still, if the price & itinerary were right, would book it yet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we sailed on her was several years ago (waaay pre-shutdown), and my memory isn't that good anymore.👴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a cruise with several sea days planned and really enjoy our casino time. We enjoyed Mariner, especially Playmakers and the other amped areas. We are a bit concerned about the lack of upgrades, ship condition and casino posts. I guess I am having second thoughts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband thinks the Adventure casino is one of the best. Old style and flashy, just how he likes it! The casino opens up to Boleros aft and Schooner forward. If I remember correctly they have the Chops across from Schooner. Most awkward waiting area btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never sailed on Mariner, sorry i do think the ship was very clean and in great condition, considering her age. 1 hour ago, twinmommy08 said: No playmakers on Adventure.

Yes, chops directly across, near piano man & elevators table players seemed to be having a great time, never really looked crowded in that section. It’s an elevated area vs the slot area In Vegas one of our fav casinos to while away the afternoons was at the old imperial palace, playing low stakes with their wonderful dealer entertainers. Believe ‘fat Elvis’ there too? Not sure it’s been a minute. Not that I don’t appreciate old school style casinos, especially with low table wagers. Even Ellis island now & again. however, IMO, do think AoS Casino sorely needs redesigned to improve personal space in the slot area. Perhaps paying homage to the best of there?

I think I was looking wrong date but JS comes up now but probably too late for you to want to change. Prices are HIGH. I meant to come back and respond. There were actually JS available, but they were for 3 passengers and it wouldn't let us book for just 2. It's weird because we've stayed in other JS on other ships that slept up to 4 with no issue having just 2 of us. The Next Cruise guy said it wouldn't let him put just 2 in those cabins.
