    The Promenade is Back! This will be the largest Spring Bliss cruise yet.

     

    Itinerary

    The Ship

    Mariner of the Seas

    a Radiance class ship by Royal Caribbean

    Pre-Cruise

    Stay tuned for pdre-cruise hotel and party information.

    Onboard

    The fifth ship in Royal Caribbean's popular Voyager class, the Mariner of the Seas carries an impressive 3,114 passengers. It’s also the first time many of our vibrant and youthful-inspired spring passengers will get to experience “The Promenade.”


    The Promenade is designed to emulate an upscale European street scene, lined with shops, bars, and a 24-hour cafe (a great venue to snack and people watch). Featuring atmospheric lighting which changes color throughout the day and night, quirky art features and sculptures, the area is also a hive of activity from appearances by the DreamWorks characters during the exciting DreamWorks parade, which includes live music and entertainment like a 70's Dancing in the Street disco party.

    The Promenade also hosts a variety of Bliss Cruise Meet & Greets, Bliss Cruise evening themed dance parties, Royal Caribbean Random Acts of Entertainment, and more. It’s the scene of all "lifestyle scenes" (traditionally offered in past November sailings) but we’re swinging with it into the 2024 spring sailing.

    The Mariner of the Seas has 3 clothing-optional decks by the Main Pool. There are two pool areas; the Main Pool area, and the Solarium. Both pool areas are located on Deck 11 and both feature clothing-optional fun (except when in Freeport, Bahamas).

     

    Forward on Deck 11 is the Solarium pool. During the day, couples find intimacy without the noise and can share conversations with new friends.

    Overnight, and new for 2024, we convert the exterior portion of the Solarium into an additional playroom for our passengers. If you ever wanted to "play under the stars" and without the wind, now is your chance. If the exterior play area is not your style, we also offer a variety of playrooms designed for couples-only, and other playrooms that are accessible to all passengers for fun.

    Theme Nights:

    DATETHEME

    MONDAY

    Dreamhouse Pink Party - Come on Barbie, Let's Go Party!!! From beach wear to sporty looks to dance party wear. Feel the glamour in pink in this fantasy world. Don't forget, every Barbie needs her Ken.

    TUESDAY

    Pajama Slumber Party - This slumber party is more party and less slumber. Get cozy in your PJs, teddies, footy pajamas and bedtime lounge wear and prepare for a night of pillow fights, sexy fun and late-night antics.

    WEDNESDAY

    Show Me Your Glow - It's time to glow! Light up the night during this poolside party with your best neon and glow outfits.

    THURSDAY

    Fetish Night / Leather & Lace - Latex, bondage wear, body harnesses, leather & lace will be the dress code for this fetish night. Allow yourself to escape into the provocative world of kink, fetishes and fantasy.

    FRIDAY

    Friday Night Lights / Sports Night - Let the games begin! Show your sexy team spirit and find your "playful" teammates by wearing the sports jersey of your favorite team. 

     

    Ports

    Port Canaveral, Florida

    Labadee, Haiti:

    On the north coast of Hispaniola, surrounded by beautiful mountain slopes and exotic foliage, sits Labadee, a private paradise. Reserved exclusively for us, this destination offers pristine beaches, breathtaking scenery and spectacular water activities. Nellie's Beach is simply a slice of paradise. You can enjoy floating beach mats and complimentary beach lounge chairs on this picture perfect beach. Soar down the Dragon's Breath Flight Line, the world's longest zip line over water. Paddle along the gorgeous coastline of Labadee on a relaxing kayaking tour. Take an exhilarating ride aboard a waverunner down the scenic coast of Labadee. Grab a bird's-eye view as you soar 400 feet above the beautiful peninsula of Labadee on a thrilling parasailing ride.

    Bimini, Bahamas:

    Bimini island was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway and, according to some, a possible location of the lost city of Atlantis. Miles of white sand beaches and clear blue-green turquoise waters await you, along with endless opportunities for fishing, diving, and water sports. On Bimini, you'll find more to do per square mile than anywhere in The Bahamas' Out Islands.

    Ports

    Day 1 | BARCELONA, SPAIN

    LIVELY CITY OF GAUDI

    Dynamic and desirable, Barcelona houses both the authentically historic and the wildly bizarre. From scenic trails and romantic alleyways, to beachside nightclubs and the city’s dozens of sacred churches and architectural marvels, this seaside city attracts all types of tourism: the adventurer, the couple, the partier, and the culture lover, each longing to uncover all there is to discover.

    Day 2 | MARSEILLES, FRANCE

    WHERE HISTORY COMES TO LIFE

    2,600 years of history come to life in the magnificent port of Marseille. The Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée is filled to the brim with insight on the culture of this romantic region and is well worth a visit. From there, explore La Panier for souvenirs to remind you of your sensual journey before capping off your day with a glass of pastis, an alcoholic beverage that is a local favorite!

    Day 3 | TOULON, FRANCE

    A TASTE OF PROVENCE 

    Prepare to literally be blown away by Toulon, the capital of Provence, as the climate is distinctive for more than 30 diverse types of wind that blow in from all points, and figuratively by the many charms of this ancient port. In Toulon you can find specialties like lavender, wine, and fine herbs at the Cours Lafayette, or head to boulevard Amiral Vence with your lover and jump on the cable car which will lead you almost 2,000 feet up to the top of Mont Faron and visit the Mémorial du débarquement et de la libération de Provence.

    Day 4 | NICE, FRANCE

    “NICE LA BELLE”

    With streets full of colorful buildings, palm-lined boulevards, and a harbor of turquoise blue, you may feel like you’ve somehow stepped into a living painting when you arrive in Nice. Often called “The Queen of the Riviera,” the epitome of Nice’s famous joie de vivre can be found in full swing on the Promenade des Anglais, which features stunning views, especially at sunset.

    Don’t miss the opulent Hôtel Negresco, where royalty and high society have held court since 1912, or the art deco Palais de la Méditerranée. To visit the Cathédrale Saine-Réparate, head for the heart of the city to the picturesque Place Rosetti. After dark, the square becomes an open air-dance club complete with dramatic lighting that casts a magical glow on the ancient cobblestones.

    From Nice you can take a quick trip by train to Monaco, the city with a reputation that’s far bigger than its mere 0.76 square miles. It’s the kind of place where professional athletes, royals, socialites, and Bond villains (or the actors who play them) rub elbows while searching for elusive lady luck. Come prepared to be amazed by the opulence, by the breathtaking beautiful surroundings, and for some of the finest people watching this side of the seas.

    Day 5 | PORTOFINO, ITALY

    OLD-WORLD CHARM & STUNNING VIEWS

    This charming resort community is the perfect place to indulge in some well-deserved relaxation. Be sure to bring your walking shoes since there’s a gorgeous walking district where you can see glamorous old hotels and dramatic forts overlooking the sea. Don’t miss Castello di Santa Margherita, a castle built in 1550 by the Republic of Genoa as a defense against pirate attacks. The main city square, Piazza Mazzini, is lined with colorful palaces just begging to be Instagrammed.

    Day 6 | LIVORNO, ITALY

    CITY OF ITALIAN RICHES

    Florence is the sublime birthplace of the Renaissance, bursting with elegant squares, imposing palaces, magnificent churches, and museums with such an abundance of riches that it could make an art lover weep for joy. The list of illustrious names connected with this city include Botticelli, Dante, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo. For many years, the city was ruled by the powerful Medici family, patrons of the arts and bankers to the papacy, whose line included six kings and, allegedly, four popes.

    Day 7 | AT SEA

    SEDUCTION AT SEA

    Spend the day sailing in style aboard your boutique hotel at sea. Indulge in a treatment at Sanctum Spa, stay ship shape with a class in the fitness center, join us poolside for some erotic adult entertainment, or lounge the day away on our sunny clothing-optional pool deck.

    In the evening, savor inspired Italian cuisine at Aqualina, or relish in a classic steakhouse experience at Prime C. Plus, you’ll find plenty of sensually seductive evening entertainment, from thrilling shows to intimate performances.

    Day 8 | CIVITAVECCHIA, ITALY

    VOYAGE TO THE ETERNAL CITY

    Rome has something special to offer to all visitors, no matter their interests and tastes. Whether you daydream about fighting with gladiators in the Coliseum, debating with togaed senators in the Forum, tossing a coin in a fabled fountain, or being awestruck by the magnificence of St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s masterpieces, Rome seems to live up to its sobriquet as the Eternal City.

    When you need sustenance, today’s Rome will provide delizioso pasta e vino. Or perhaps you draw strength from a little retail therapy—the Italians are also renowned for their sense of style.
