Review summary

We had an awesome cruise with Princess cruises despite some dissatisfaction with the cost of excursions which is a general thing with many cruise companies. Service staff on board are faultless .

Onboard service from all staff was exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I feel the Majestic Princess is lacking in specific areas for the programs they run. The dance classes were held in the main piazza area where the bars and continental cafe is situated so you have to listen to the instructor all the time while the classes are on which is frequent .

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was excellent, clean and size was perfect.

Ship tip

We were disappointed with the min cost to play roulette in the casino $10 min

Our biggest complaint with the Majestic was also the atrium where Princess try and have all the dancing and entertainment. Given that the area is absolutely surrounded by restaurants and bars where you can’t hear yourself talk because of the entertainment and dance lessons doesn’t make sense
