Majestic Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Food was good. Excellent service in the dining and cabin.

"Our cruise on the Majestic Princess was a fantastic blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure. We enjoyed world-class dining, breathtaking views, and top-tier entertainment, all while exploring stunning destinations. The personalized service made everything feel effortless."

Getting on the boat was fast. The food was good. The evening entertainment was mostly good. The daily entertainment was lack luster. The daily things to do was lack luster. The balcony room was good. The internet was fast but pricey. We only signed up for the last three at sea days since the three us ports allowed cell tower use. Some live television in the room and free on demand movies. Noticeable lack of children on the boat. Noticeable large numbers of seniors on board. Leaving the boat was great. Bags taken directly to the airport from our room and plane boarding passes in our hand in the room.

We enjoyed the cruise but prefer the 7- day west coast trip. For us, 11 days with 7 days at sea was too many days on the ship, especially with not finding many activities we were interested in.

We have been on about 25 cruises on various cruise lines. We would rank Princess in the middle of the pack. Unfortunately, the food on this trip was very disappointing. We signed up for Premium Plus with unlimited specialty restaurants and we were very unimpressed in general. The Catch and the Alfredos were the exceptions. We had consistent good food there and the service was good as well. The Crowne's food was very mediocre, and Harmony tasted like fast food Chinese to us. Honestly, if we would have tried the restaurants before buying the package we wouldn't have bought the package. The ship is very pretty and clean. The layout is very compartmentalized, and many spaces are small (e.g. public bathrooms, hallways, staircases, etc.). We would have liked the buffet to be more of an open floor plan, so you could see all the choices at once, instead of walking up and down different hallways.

Would do an Alaskan cruise again in a heart beat, very beautiful. Plan your stops do the research, lots of hidden gems in each port

Overall was a great first cruise experience, and I would definitely go again. From my understanding of cruise ships, this one is considered a "smaller" boat, so you can definitely feel the waves especially when it's stormy, but it did not feel over crowded, and there were not many kids, so if you aren't bothered by the rockiness of the waves I would recommend this cruise.

I purchased the plus package then I upgraded to premium, but Princess had issue while I was onboard, the spa ,fitness and photo departments could recognize my package as premium, I had to go to the service desk to ask for refund for the classes we took.

Go back in time on the Boomer Express! We chose this ship for it's indoor pool and lack of children, but that's where the amenities stopped. We were nickel and dimed out of thousands more than we had planned due to feeling like we required the Premier Package to get priority seating and an all-inclusive worry free trip. I feel ripped off and will be fighting the charges. The WiFi and their required app were atrocious and cost hundreds of dollars for something that barely worked. They promised reserved seating for shows but that's not true and you are not guaranteed to get a seat for paying extra, nor even a good seating location! You will have to arrive at least 45 minutes PRIOR to ANY show for a good seat, let alone a seat at all. There were still food and drinks that cost us extra money, and in the case of the food, it was overpriced bar food, at best. I've paid less for a sandwich in Vail! We were only placated incessantly and it felt like gaslighting. So much so that we had to disconnect the phone in our room and throw it away; literally. No problems reported were solved. Nothing had been updated on the boat. The food made us very sick twice. They never vacuumed our room and we had mud everywhere from an excursion. They would sneak into your room MULTIPLE times per day unless you were forceful about saying no or remembering to click a button on a wall-mounted touch screen that was unreliable. They track you and your every movement using their "Medallions"... think Apple Airtags but for HUMANS. While it has some understandable advantages, the invasion of privacy was simply creepy at times. We played Bingo once. Not because I wanted to, but my younger girlfriend didn't even know what it was! Half the things we did on the boat were due to their comical nature; reminiscent of a time long lost where people once played shuffleboard, dined with the captain at 5pm... (yes, 5 freaking pm! and close at 9 or 10 pm), did the hokey-pokey, took down a whole pack of cigs while gambling away their life savings, and ravaged their bodies with alcohol and buffet fodder to forget stressed out lives for just one sad week. I your childhood entertainment was monochrome and you love to burn money, preferring a placation over a vacation, this ship is for you! Boom-out to Disco night, dinners at 5, soaking in stranger sweat, and being overwhelmingly upsold at every occasion. And, don't worry about shopping on your trip either because we own all the stores on the boat AND in the struggling little towns! And, of course, don't forget about our amazing technology on the ship. While we are cruising at 50 knots you can be surfing the Internet at a blazing 19.2kbs! That right folks, practically never ending bandwidth for you and everyone on the ship to share at once. SO, are you ready to get YOUR Boom On?

Overall, this was a GREAT cruise, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Alaska. I have some great pictures and wonderful memories with my family.

I'd definitely take this cruise again, and I've already begun looking at more cruise options. The excursions were varied and offered a friendly, easy way to see places I would never have experienced previously. Once you learn your way around the ship, everything seems fairly easy and manageable. My shipmate's reservations did disappear after she boarded the ship, however, so ensure you check your app for everything selected pre-cruise. Staff was overall helpful setting up new reservations, so there was only one night when we couldn't all sit together at dinner. Weather for this cruise was perfection, other than being overcast so no Northern Lights. Temperatures on board and in port were very comfortable. Staff didn't make you feel like a burden and always had a smile.

It was our first time cruising and all I can say is WOW!!! Didn't know what to expect but my expectations were met above and beyond!! Fantastic journey and looking forward to the next one!!!!!

Overall phenomenal time! Very clean and everyone is very friendly!

The Majestic Princess is a beautiful ship that well maintained and very clean. The dining room service was good but slow at times. Most meals were close to two hours in length. That seems excessive to me. But overall, we had a great time and Princess will be at the top of my list when it comes time to plan out next cruise.

We enjoyed the trip and highly recommended to our friends. The all you can eat lobster was great.

Great cruise! Great ship and all the staff that we met were excellent! Helpful, kind and friendly ~ our family loved the cruise!! We were an extended family with ages of 10 - 68 yrs and everyone had a great time!

The itinerary was great except the Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier were fogged in so we didn't get to visit them. The ship decor is surprisingly outdated for a ship as young as it is. The service was mostly really good but it is hard to get drinks around the pools or in the Hollywood Club area and the buffet (which only has one small drink station on each side and few waiters coming around to offer drinks). The food in the MDR is bland at best and not memorable at all. Carnival actually has better cruise food than Princess in the dining rooms. Staterooms are comfortable with large showers and very comfy beds, pillows, and duvets. The staff is cheerful and welcoming. The Medallions are a great feature but the phone app definitely needs work. The theater does offer listening devices for those who are hard of hearing but you have to talk to someone in the sound booth to get them which is not an easy task. There is no other staff to make the request of and the guest services staff doesn't have a clue about them.

This was an anniversary present for my husband and me - one of the best vacations we have ever taken!

This cruise is the best out of the one's we have been on. Food, accommodations, attendants were all excellent.

Best way to see Alaska. Relaxing and enjoyable. I recommend it.
