The Suite Life of Chris and Kellie
Mariner of the Seas
June 13-18, 2026
Galveston, TX (Western Caribbean)
After 29 cruises... we are addicted and love this form of travel as we believe it holds the best overall value. This particular cruise was a chase for becoming DIAMOND on Royal Caribbean as it is our favorite cruise line. To become DIAMOND a cruiser must have 80 "cruise points" total. A cruise night is 1 point but sailing in a SUITE or HIGHER allows DOUBLE points which meant we needed to sail in a suite to become DIAMOND before Natalie's Graduation cruise in 2027. We chose this 5 night sailing out of Galveston which in turn gave us exactly 80 cruise points; a year ahead of our Graduation Cruise goal. Even sailing a Junior Suite in the middle of the summer was only $1125/ per person (which is on the lower end of "mid pricing" to be honest). This was a splurge to say the very least but we LOVED this experience and would sail in a Junior Suite again in a heartbeat. The perks, double cruise points, and the stateroom itself was HIGHLY worth this price point! I would recommend EVERY ONE sail in a suite at least once in their life!
We have cruised 13 previous times with Carnival, 12 times with Royal Caribbean, 2 times with Norwegian, 1 time with Princess and most recently 1 time with MSC Cruise Line.
This blog will contain entries of our day-to-day life aboard the Mariner of the Seas as well as all of the unique and awesome perks of sailing in a Suite! You do not want to miss these posts!
