Anyone here been on the Glory and Mariner?

I have been on both. Both nice cruises. You would have a great time on either
one.
If the prices are the same, I would go with the Mariner of the Seas. If not go
Glory

Ok people, I'm looking for a COMPARISON.

NOTHING compares to the voyager class ships.

I sailed on the explorer in Nov,2002 and this class of ships( incl

blows the other ships out of the water. Have sailed RCCl since and
found that
they deliver a consistent product.. food is good to great, service
excellent,
entertainment is good,etc. Go with the mariner you won't be dissapointed.

LOVED the explorer; but I disagree strongly about the food. IMO it was
bad to good, rather than "good to great."

Food is very subjective, but I have found the food on celebrity,carnival and
RCCL to be about par in the DR. Have cruised RCCL the last 2 times, with a 3rd
one coming up in nov. The only bad dish was the lamb chops my husb got one nite
and the wait staff quickly substituted another entree, and we knew to stay away
from the ranch steak. Outside of those two entrees I have no complaints . I am
not a foodie but my husband is after working in a NYC restaurant for 9 years
followed by 23 years in a NYC firehouse.( now those guys know how to eat) and
he was quite happy with the food on all of our cruises. We prefer the
outstanding service on RCCL, which is consistent thru out their whole line. I
am taking 5 other girls ( ages 45 to 49 ) on a 4 niter on the enchantment in
nov and selected the enchantment over the imagination due to enchantments edge
with decor and service. The only negative thing I can say about RCCL's food is
that on a 4 niter they don't serve lobster. ( but its no biggie to me as I
don't eat lobster). I hope the other gals don't miss it. RCCl full meal room
service is a definite plus.. Joyce

Sorry Badger, most savvy cruisers won't do Carnival so it's tough to get
someone to compare.
Now if you want to compare Disney and RCCL I can help you.

Oh Pleaseeeeeee!

Not a foodie myself; and I know you are right about firefighters. Those
dude really do know how to both cook and eat.
and

I certainly agree with you about service on RCCL.

I beg your pardon (not really). Your ignorance (read total lack of
savvy) in this matter is overwhelming.

Hmmm... Well although I haven't been on the Glory or the Mariner, I HAVE been
on nearly equal numbers of Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruises... Does that
make me... *semi- savvy*?

Nah! You're probably more of demi-savvy type.
