Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas cruise ship has completed a massive $90 million makeover.

The transformed ship will begin sailing three and four-night voyages from PortMiami to the Bahamas beginning in June.

The sailings will include stops in both Nassau and Royal Caribbean’s private island of CocoCay.

“At Royal Caribbean, we believe in the constant pursuit of adventure, and that every weekend is an opportunity to experience something new, and live life to its fullest,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.  “With the new Mariner of the Seas we invite travelers to weekend like they really mean it and make the most of a quick getaway than they even thought was possible.”

Some of the new additions to Mariner of the Seas include Sky Pad, a virtual-reality trampoline experience; a pair of racing waterslides; glow-in-the-dark laser tag; a new Polynesian-themed bar called The Bamboo Room; and Jamie’s Italian, a rustic Italian eatery by Chef Jamie Oliver.
