what are some of the differences between mariner and explorer?

[cruise maniac 15]

I know on explorer the balconies are made of steel and not glass. Anything else? i also heard that the windjammer is a little different

Mariner has both Portofino and Chops where Explorer only has Portofino. Mariner has Vintages, and Ben and Jerry's. Both are Voyager class ships, but the Mariner is a newer ship and some changes were made to the original designs.

A lot of interesting facts. What I didn't see listed was the variation in cabin sizes - some are bigger and some are smaller between the two ships. EX Prominades are 167 sq.ft while MR are 153; EX D1 balconies are 180 sq.Ft while MR are 199; etc.
