Review summary

First time on Majestic, we like the smaller ships. Very nice ship though we were at 52% capacity, crew and trip really was enjoyable. Remember not to blink it will end too soon.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
One thing I hope they keep in place, barely half hour and on board. Streamlined, embarkation-kind of sets 1st impression and tone for cruise. Love it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We think still working through pandemic issues, not up to prior levels, but acceptable considering. Not a big variety change from day to day. You will not go hungry 😋 for sure. This is in reference to buffet.

International Café

5 out of 5

Never let's you down for light tasty meal. Miss the Gelato though.

Alfredo's Pizzeria

5 out of 5

Alfred's is very good, tasty and nice change of pace from other venues.

Crown Grill Bar

5 out of 5

Crown never disappoints, food nor in service. Richard was fabulous. I had booked for our anniversary and casino gave us complimentary meal also, we made sure to get Richard again.

Wake View Bar

5 out of 5

We sat out here last day. Lovely area had drinks and pizza, read and worked puzzles. Very relaxing out of the wind area.

The Bakery

5 out of 5

Who does not like the bakery, good variety to choose from even though similar day over day.

Chopsticks Noodle Bar

5 out of 5

We checked it out, but not our thing. Seemed popular and heard many compliment.

Crown Grill

5 out of 5

Still love the hot dogs and burgers, the lobster roll is a pass. At $15 really not upbto that price point.

Harmony

3 out of 5

Harmony was OK, nothing truly memorable. Same cover charge as Crown but not to same level of quality.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Ice carving and food art are always a fun part of cruising

The Library

2 out of 5

Used internet Cafe several times for Medallion app. still very bugging, the were having issues with daily activity connections. Some things worked well in the app some not. Crew fixed but never consistent. I don't think through any fault of theirs but attribute to the developer.

The SeaWalk

5 out of 5

Lovely feature for a ship. Even though it scares the begesus out of me I will still walk it hugging the rail.

Princess Casino

5 out of 5

We loved this casino, so we'll spaced out and variety of machines. Hiting jackpot on last night is just icing. Husband also had bingo win this cruise, wahoo.

The Shops of Princess

4 out of 5

Very attentive as usual, seemed more upscale than usual and selections less than our November cruise. Also the purchase amount percentage was gone, just Elite discount, this was disappointing and did affect my normal purchase amount.

Passenger Services Desk

5 out of 5

The best and very helpful with our minimal issues. Nikita was a gem.

Beauty Salon

5 out of 5

Fire and ice mani/Pedi are great treat. Marichelle was very good. Had acupuncture consult and may try next cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The midship dancing fountain is very enjoyable. As a kid I remember a traveling dancing waters show, nice memories with my folks.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Jerry was terrific, spot on with everything. The room service team was exceptional. Really enjoyed the crew.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean oh my yes, cleaning all the time. The ship and decor is very pretty. The piazza is georgious. The layout is very confusing, we heard many commenting on this so know not just us. But ya know you work through the minor stuff.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the cabin and location. Balconies are narrower on newer ships, and too much furniture, but still what a view

Ship tip

Don't sweat the small stuff enjoy your days and oceans beauty.

Ports of call

Santa Barbara, California

5 out of 5
Been several times done the sights, not fans of tenders. Still recommend visiting.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Same as embarkation easy peazy. We do early walk off as we are local and have fur baby to pick up. Could not be easier. Love it
