Review summary

We had a fabulous time on the Majestic and visited some once-in-a-lifetime ports.  The crew worked hard to be sure the ship is incredibly well maintained and cleaned even though it was only a few months old!  With a very few exceptions, the entire staff from housekeeping to the officers were especially friendly and made an extra effort to make the voyage special for passengers.  The fitness center is well equipped and large enough so I never had to wait for a cardio machine although the weight machines were sometimes understandably busy.  

Unfortunately, like the sister ship Regal, the sauna is only available to those willing to pay the extra fee ($500+) for Spa access.  We were traveling with another couple and we requested a traditional dinner table for 8 but instead we had table for 4.  We still enjoyed the meals and the servers (Anna and Judit) were fabulous but we would have preferred the opportunity to meet other passengers with a larger table.  One new production show was truly incredible whereas the remained of the stage shows in the Princess Theater were the typical cruise entertainment shows.

Overall, our Princess experience was as expected and we will continue to travel with Princess in the future.  In fact, we already have three cruises scheduled during the next 18 months!

we did anytime time dining on the Royal and just requested to be sat at larger tables so we could meet other people. worked out well and never had to wait.

Sounds like a very nice time aboard for the fiur of you. MDR conversations are an interesting part of cruising. I too like to learn from others but my wife likes her privacy - thus - tables for two. Glad you enjoyed the Majestic. I was on the Regal this past December.
