There are four main cabin types: Inside, Ocean View, Balcony and Suites.
- Inside cabins are the lowest priced and smallest in size. There is plenty of room, but they do not have a window to the outside.
- Ocean View cabins are similar to the inside cabins but offer a porthole or window (that does not open) to view the outside.
- Balcony cabins have a floor to ceiling window with a door that opens to a private balcony that has two chairs and a small table. These cabins are generally larger in size than ocean view and interior cabins.
- Suites are the biggest cabin type on the ship. They also have bigger balconies and separate seating areas. They also come with a variety of amenities and services that are not available to those in different cabin types.
You can view detailed descriptions of all cabins HERE.

Tips to Consider When Selecting Your Cabin:
Sometimes we are asked what part of the ship is the best. The answer depends on what you are looking for. The Mariner of the Seas is a big ship so it does not rock very much, but we are sailing on the high seas so it will move a little. Some guests want to feel the ship movement; others want to feel like they are on dry land so here are a couple of tips:
- The smoothest ride is found in the middle of the ship on lower decks.
- The side of the ship does not matter.
- Different ports dock on different sides so there is no “land facing” or “ocean facing” side. When we are at sea, everything is ocean facing!
- If you want to limit your walking, pick a cabin near the elevators or if you want to get your exercise every day, pick a cabin further away.
Our reservation team is happy to answer any questions you might have so please give us a call at 844.335.6515 or email info@startrekthecruise.com.
Once a reservation is made, you can view your reservation HERE. If you need to make changes to your reservation (change cabin, update payment information, add or remove a guest, correct contact information, cancel your reservation), please contact a Reservation Specialist Monday – Thursday 9:00 AM CT – 5:00 PM CT or Friday 9:00 AM CT – 4:00 PM CT at 844.335.6515 or email info@startrekthecruise.com. All reservation cancellation requests must be made by contacting our office. Changes made to an existing reservation within 120 days of sailing are subject to a $150 manifest change fee.
Pre-Cruise Details
Star Trek: The Cruise X embarks from New Orleans, LA on Saturday, February 20, 2027, at 4:00 PM CT. All guests are required to select a boarding window during the online check-in process (starting 45 days prior to the cruise). Boarding the day of the cruise typically begins by 11:30 AM CT, and all guests must be onboard no later than 3:00 PM CT.
Unless you reside near New Orleans, we recommend guests arrive the day prior to the cruise. On the day of disembarkation, February 27, 2027, the ship is scheduled to arrive back in New Orleans at 7:00 AM ECT. Due to the time it takes to clear Customs and Immigration, it is difficult to estimate the exact time you will be able to depart the ship. To be safe, we do not recommend scheduling flights prior to 12:00 PM CT.
Information on recommended hotels can be found HERE.
Each guest may bring onboard one (1) 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne per cabin in their carry-on luggage on the day of Embarkation. If guests wish to enjoy the wine or champagne they brought onboard in dining or bar venues, a corkage fee will apply. Guests are not allowed to bring beer or hard liquor onboard.
Guests may bring non-alcoholic beverages as carry-on items on the day of embarkation. Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed twelve standard (12 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per cabin. Distilled water brought on for medical or dietary use is permitted.
Royal Caribbean online check-in for Star Trek: The Cruise begins 45 days prior to sailing. All guests are highly encouraged to complete the online check-in process with Royal Caribbean at least 3 days prior to sailing. Further details as to how and when to complete the check-in process will be communicated via email as we approach the cruise date.
Approximately 120 days prior to sailing, you will receive a Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Reservation Number giving you access to Royal Caribbean’s “Cruise Planner.” CLICK HERE to view available packages for purchase including dining packages, shore excursions, Wi-Fi and more!
Once Onboard
Each evening, you will receive the following day’s schedule of events.
The Star Trek actors and celebrity guests are excited to join us on board for the whole event. However, there may be some cases where they must join us during the trip or depart early due to professional, personal or other commitments.
Star Trek: The Cruise features dozens of performances, panels, activities and events throughout the week. Every guest is guaranteed access to the nightly main stage show and all parties. Some other programming may be limited by venue capacity and is generally available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some activities may require advance registration, and certain Artist Hosted Events may require an additional fee. Because multiple events may take place at the same time, it may not be possible to attend every event offered during the cruise.
Guests can dine at any time they wish; however, most guests choose to dine opposite their Main Show time. Reservations are not needed to dine in the Main Dining Room but are highly suggested for Specialty Restaurants.
Guests are encouraged to take as many photos and videos as they wish in public areas, but there may be times in which guests may be asked to refrain from taking photos/videos in performances due to talent requests. Guests are asked to not approach actors or other talent for selfies or autographs outside scheduled autograph and photograph sessions.
If you take photos during performances, to maintain a respectful and enjoyable environment for all guests, performers, and staff, the Onboard Guest Photo and Video Policy must be observed.
To review the complete Onboard Guest Photo and Video Policy, please CLICK HERE. Please note, our professional photo/video team will make photos from the Main Shows available for free download on our website post cruise.
