Review summary

I was on Majesty of the Seas on 9-11-2001, it was a bad experience. Not only because of what was happening in the world, which There are no words for, but this older ship was poorly laid out and the food wasn't great. We WILL GO with Royal Caribbean again and Harmony of the Seas. It was a pleasure! I have been on 27 cruises, mostly with Carnival and some Celebrity. I don't think we will be back with Carnival...RCCL is just TOO GREAT!!!!!

The size was perfect for 2 people and the bathroom shower was impressive!

Ship tip

Don't worry about lines/ques at any the dining areas. Any wait time is to a minimum, just a minute or two!

It was very nice. I just wasn't aware that it was so large. I will know next time so I can see it all!

It's a sleepy little port that's growing and it's nice to visit.

Shopping for Sterling Silver .925...buyer beware! I purchased 3 bracelets from a shop in the inside mall area. They were stamped made in Mexico, but not .925. When I found out they were "plated" I took them back and got a full refund. The shop owner would not tell me they were .925, he would only say they are silver. I found what I was looking for in 2 other shops.

We've been with RC a couple of times and the rooms have hair dryers because you can't take one on board, they confiscate them and return it at the end
