Hi, i was wondering about the cabins on the mariner. Is it worth the money to get a junior suit or go with a deluxe balcony room. we have a total of four people which are my wife, myself, and my two kids ages 13 and 15.
Well, I have never stayed in a deluxe balcony, I have stayed in a junior suite, OV and inside rooms. I would book the junior suite, if money allows. You'll have more room, and we all know how teenagers like to spread there things around. Plus, you'll get an extra cruise credit, for booking a junior suite, so that is a perk too. Good luck.

Hello, I was on the Mariner last week and enjoyed staying in a Junior Suite. It's a bit bigger that a Deluxe Stateroom, which would make it easier for 4 people to move around. If you would like to see the pictures of my J.S., just click HERE Then click on the picture to enlarge it.
I have sailed on Mariner once before. I had a grand suite. That was a nice size. The difference between the stateroom and a Jr. suite are nothing more than a walk in closet and maybe a little wider. In my opion keep the stateroom or go to a grand suite if you really want your money's worth. I'm sailing on Mariner Sept 23 again. It's the best of the ships in my books.
You're right about the Grand suite. However, for the price, a person can get connecting staterooms which will offer two bathrooms, two tv's, and a lot more privacy. We were in an owner's suite on the Voyager and had a couple of grandchildren with us; there's never enough room.
