If you are on Mariner of the Seas and are thinking of alighting at the ports of call: Penang and Phuket. Here’s some useful information for you to note.


Port of Call: Phuket


We took a tender boat from Mariner of the Seas for our one day tour in Phuket. Be sure to queue for the tender boat tickets at least half an hour before stipulated time – you will find many kiasu people wanting to get off the cruise as early as they can. Otherwise you can choose to board the last few tender boats to avoid the queue.

We wanted to go on an independent tour to Phi Phi, but later we realised we didn’t have time for independent shore excursion (i.e. not organised by Mariner of the Seas). We had read online blogs of people who was on the same itinerary as us (5 NIGHT SPICE OF SE ASIA CRUISE) – and they managed to go for such private Phi Phi tour. Why can’t we have the time?! Then we realised…

Different cruise trips, even though of the same itinerary, have different timing for passengers to alight at the various ports of call. 

So do note that you might only have time for Phuket town and beach tour.

To know the time the cruise will dock at Phuket, refer to the guest booklet that Royal Caribbean will email you. The time indicated is in Phuket time (1-hour difference from Singapore).

Here’s the Cruise Compass of Mariner of the Seas I got for DAY ONE. However, do note that the events and programs lined up in my itinerary might be different from yours.

There are many things for you to do once you board. However, the Cruise Compass is very cluttered and you might just glazed over some of the interesting stuff.

So, I have summarised a few highlights here: What to do on Mariner of the Seas – Day 1

The last page of the cruise compass has a suggested itinerary for the day. For common facilities/games such as mini golf and basketball, you should not go at the time suggested by the itinerary. This will help you avoid people who stick to the schedule.

I had initially thought that such games were only opened at specific timings as per the itinerary. But that’s not true. Just take note of their opening hours – which is longer than what the cruise compass had scheduled for the activities (except probably for ice skating).
