Review summary

The Majestic Princess is a marvelous ship. Staff members are absolutely terrific. If you go the Allegro dining room, ask to sit in Georgina's section, she's one very special person. As mentioned before, the casino is very smokey and stay away from Bingo, the casino takeout is way too high

Ship tip

The casino is very smokey. It's so bad that you can smell the cigarette smoke throughout midship levels 5,6,7.. Unsure why Princess would allow smoking considering all the covid protocols. Perhaps, profit over health? Bingo is a disaster. The casino takeout is more than 50%. The last Bingo session had a Snowball carryover. 80 tablets at $69, 90 paper tickets at a minimum of $29, 4 games, the payouts, Game 1 $100, Game 2 $125, Game 3 $250 Snowball $2700. Every person in the Princess theater were very angry and swore they'll never play again and I don't blame them

Try the Dolphin swim. A little pricey $179 per person but it was the highlight of our trip

We played bingo and loved it. Payouts were higher than our local casino on the Indian reservations. Bingo is a gamble no guarantee just like all the people that sit there dropping money into the slot machines..how often do those pay out? But will agree with the smoke in casino...between that and the perfume store on the ship I avoided that area at all costs if I could.

It's really unfortunate about the smoky casino, even worse smelling the smoke on three decks! As a nonsmoker myself,, I feel your pain. Maybe they'll modify their policy if they get enough feedback about it. Otherwise, looks like you had a great cruise.
