mrlevin Posted August 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I went to Bill's suite guru spreadsheet but couldn't find what I was looking for. Are some of the Penthouse C on Mariner without a post? I guess I need without a post but with a shower actually. Any help appreciated, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted August 11, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Susan, many thanks; looks like I will request 914 or 915. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmark Posted August 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I think you should ask for 914 if you want separate shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFr Posted August 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Marc, 914 and 915 are our favorite Penthouse C suites on Mariner. They are quiet, shower suites without a pole. You also have more privacy on your balcony since the balcony on the Mariner suite next door is in the middle of the suite and not adjacent to your balcony. 834 is probably our least favorite Penthouse C suite. It has a pole, is across the hallway from a noisy air conditioning room, and gets some noise when the tenders are being used or when crew members are doing maintenance on the tenders.

alainciao Posted August 12, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We have 1003 for the 24 WC. Wondering how much of a bother the post is. Doesn't look like a big deal but would appreciate your thoughts. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be annoying for the person sleeping on that side of the bed as it restricts the distance between the bed and the couch. Certainly not a big issue.

street96 Posted August 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The list in Flossies post does not include 834 Is that a typo or does 834 actually have a post? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Thank you for the comments on 914 and 915. I have a quick follow-up question. Did you experience any noise issues from the forward stairway landing? I see on the deck plan that the suite door is adjacent to the landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been in 915 a couple of times and never had any noise issues due to the proximity to the staircase. There are only a few suites forward so most people using the stairs or the elevator will walk aft. We have also been in Suite 821 on the Explorer which is in the same relative position. There were no noise issues in that suite also. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted September 22, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted September 22, 2021 That staircase is one of the reasons that Mariner is still my favorite ship; three staircases instead of two (rear and atrium). I always use it for quick up and down especially after shows or returning from observation lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaj girl Posted September 22, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Maybe said "post" could be used for pole dance practice 🤣💖🤣 I'll let you know...we are in 836 😉 Edited September 23, 2021 by Kwaj girl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellaggio Cruisers Posted October 1, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 1, 2021 We have sailed in PHC suites on the Mariner several times. Both on deck 8 and 9. Loved it. We had no problem with the pole. We just booked a Mariner 2023 cruise in the Caribbean, and for a small addition in money, decided to book an aft Horizon Suite. The balcony looks fabulous. Any comments? Sheila.

With a king bed, the bedroom area is a little tight. Also, when the suite was renovated a few years ago, the safe was not enlarged as it was in most other suite categories..

Brownie54 Posted October 2, 2021 #19 Share Posted October 2, 2021 We too love the aft suites! Probably our favorite rooms on Mariner. The decks are large and lovely. We too would only book them on 8 or 9, and with no tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hi Dave - Having a larger safe comes in very handy to store all the nightly "winnings" from the casino! Regards 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments? Sheila. Switched to 831, which we had been in before. Mobility problems require me to be closer to the elevator. We were in this suite twice before and were very happy. I like the pole because it creates a separation between bed and sofa, if you close the curtain. sheila PS. Sister and her hubby have just joined us on this cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
