The Majesty of the Seas is pretty outdated. This was our first cruise and we may go on another but not on this ship. There was not much entertainment especially on our cruising day(which we thought should be jam packed with many options since we are onboard all day) The pool is quite small and they don't seem to enforce the "must be potty trained no swim diaper" rule which really stinks. Day one the pool wasn't even filled(until after we left the port that evening) so we couldn't have enjoyed it early even if we wanted to. We felt that it was very unorganized as we had no idea what was going on at all(you would think that they would have someone to show first time cruisers the ropes) Since we had no idea what to expect, we missed some opportunities on the first day and they never delivered us our Compass for day one until we called. Most staff is friendly but not all. Also we bought a drink package but we didn't really use it until the final day as we drank mostly water in the windjammer with our meals. The hallways seemed unbelievably hot and our air in our room didn't seem to work really well until day 2-3 which left it hot and stuffy/humid. The staff that cleaned our room did a very good job changing out our towels and asking if we needed anything. We did have a pipe leak in our bathroom which led to the pipe actually coming apart and left sink water pouring directly into the floor(good thing there is tile and and a drain) We caught the maintenance guys in the hallway and they promptly fixed it right away though so that is a plus on their part. We chose not to go to the sit down dinner as we much preferred the casual atmosphere of the Windjammer. The dining room was clean as was the buffet. I would have preferred a wider variety of food(maybe different options for each day rather than most of the same food for breakfast each day) However, for us, the food was the best part of the cruise. There were many options that were quite tasty. I have to say that the Windjammer manager runs his restaurant quite well and it is probably the most organized part of the cruise. This ship, for us, was just eh. I think that we will choose a newer ship with more amenities if we decide to cruise again.
