Join your neighbors and friends, and enjoy this wonderful cruise on one of the most fantastic ships

March 15, 2008 - Mariner of the Seas,  sailing from Port Canaveral, FL (Orlando)

Ports of call

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO One of the largest islands in the Eastern Caribbean, Puerto Rico's landscape encompasses mountains, underground caves, coral reefs, white-sand beaches and an incredibly massive rain forest that supplies fresh water to most of the island. At the same time San Juan, the capital of the commonwealth, is a big city with a bustling business district, glitzy resorts and casinos, as well as one of the most stunning examples of colonial life in the Western world.

CHARLOTTE AMALIE, ST. THOMAS St. Thomas is known as an idyllic vacation spot today, but its history is not so peaceful. In the 18th century, the island was at the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling pirates such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in the port of Charlotte Amalie. This world-renowned Caribbean island is home to amazing beaches, gorgeous sea and landscapes and unbelievable duty-free shopping.

PHILIPSBURG, ST. MAARTEN When the Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648, a few Dutch and French soldiers hid on the island and decided to share it. Soon after, the Netherlands and France signed a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is today. Philipsburg displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping. The island offers endless stretches of beach, beautiful landscapes and great shopping.

* Cruise pricing is just about as confusing as airline seat pricing. Each sailing may have a different price for the same ship / itinerary. Then just to confuse matters, staterooms have multiple pricing within the same category. For example a cruise departing December 23, may be priced double that of the same cruise that departs January 15. Royal Caribbean does not allow discounting of their cruise product. Every travel agency is given the same price. By blocking group space for a sailing way in the future, we are locking in the price.
