Mariner of the Seas – Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas will begin sailing out of Miami on June 25. Before the ship arrives in Miami, the vessel is getting a radical $120 million makeover that will see a ton of new features added to the cruise ship.

The new features will include new waterslides, restaurants, and Royal Caribbean’s new Sky Pad. Mariner of the Seas will be the ultimate cruise ship for three and four night cruises to the Bahamas.  View Prices on Cruises on Mariner of the Seas
