Weather was awful 2 ports canceled and rough sea. On ship sea day schedule always the same which is both good and bad (a little boring but predictable)..

Joseph, the room steward, was great!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Do not like the Majestic design and layout. Too much emphasis on high dollar rooms and not enough common space. The outdoor pool area small and very crowded on good weather days. The Hollywood Club is okay but kept way too cold via AC and too crowded on bad weather days since there is litle other common areas to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Typical for interior room but smaller than most. Too far forward in the ship next door to crew cabins. Room Steward (Joseph) was excellent.

Ship tip

If you plan back to back cruises insure that they are booked at the same time so you do not have to change rooms. We had 3 back to back cruises and had to change rooms twice. Princess was unwilling or unable for what ever reason to keep us in the 1st assigned room. Also, make sure there are no upper bunks if not needed, otherwise upper bunks are always in the way.

Figi what we saw of it is rundown and dirty. The visit was on an Indian Holiday thus most stores and other activities were closed.

Large for a Pacific Island city. Okay but not that much to do near the port.

Looking at your past reviews, you wouldn't be happy on any cruise no matter if the weather was sunny and warm. I've cruised on Majestic Princess and absolutely loved the ship, especially the Hollywood Conservatory. You're complaining about bad weather, but that's the chance you take when cruising. Perhaps a land based resort would be more to your liking, cause who wants to cruise with someone who is complain about everything.
