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)..

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.

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