Majestic Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We found this ship and cruise amazing. The staff and entertainment were great. Andrew our cruise director was the best one we have had. The ship itself is beautiful and the atmosphere on board was fantastic. The food in the buffet area was of good quality but repetitive, maybe a bit more variety needed. Overall not much to find fault with.

Being on the transition cruise from China to Australia it was a disappointing experience but I am sure Princess will sort out the bugs and cater well for the Australian market. Without the magnificent staff and wonderful new friends we made it would have been a cruise I’d forget quite quickly.

Apart from the debarkle at the embarkation the rest of the cruise was great. We visited good ports and had plenty of sea time to kick back and relax. The Majestic is a great addition to the Princess fleet.

A total nightmare for us from the embarkment, the very expensive extended mini suite where we couldn't get a drop of sun, couldn't take good photos because of the too high partition between balconies, canopy around our deck, and support beam on the right side. Very mediocre food in dining room and Market Place (ex Horizon court). And nothing fancy. Best was the bakery. Reduced menu in the Room Service compare to all the other Princesses.

Not for the young or young at heart unless you are happy to do nothing for long periods. THIS TRIP WAS 22 DAYS. Although it is rumoured to change for the Australian market this should have happened on this trip as the majority were Australians travelling back to Australia and expected so much more for a new ship 1st time to Australia, certainly has made an impression for all the wrong reasons. Respectfully, suited to the older cruiser ( average age on this trip 67 yrs, a number of very young kids brought the average down ) May be better with shorter trips. We will not travel on this ship again and maybe not with Princess again.

Perhaps the lack of communication with passengers embarking at Shanghai Re lenghthy delays could have been better managed by the crew. There were many stories that were told of who was at fault but in the end the welfare of the passengers was of utmost importance under the extreme weather conditions that we experienced

Majestic Princess is made for the Asian Market, the seats in the main theatre is really narrow and no leg room so if a person in the middle needs to get out every body has to get out to let one person out and nowhere to place drinks. Some lounges had no bar and the casino has no bar. There is not much entertainment on board. For a new ship its really bad design and the alcohol beverage package is really over priced and has a cap of 15 drinks a day.

As we cruised with friends from previous cruises we all had a good time with plenty of laughs along the way.We all liked the Any Time Dining so we had a table with the same waiters each night which was good.

Cruise was overall OK much mini suite and club class dining excellent some of the excursions I felt were overpriced and poorly organised especially cycling in Na Trang Entertainment was generally good Seating etc over crowded Too many Elite members

Ports and ship was fun but food and tours were way below average. Disorganized tour embarkation. Tours were a total rip-off aaaaasaassasssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The best part of any cruise vacation is how you make the best of a bad situation and truly have fun and relax. One thing I will give Princess credit for is very good in room movies and TV shows. all on demand and at your leisure. The Wifi was expensive and slow. Again, we will stick with Royal Caribbean when Cruising.

This cruise made us realize how much fun it is to be on a maiden voyage so we made a vow to always book long cruises whenever a ship ship comes out. Consequently, we booked the Sky for Nov 2019 and are looking forward to the new one that will be launched in 2020.

We had a fabulous time on the Majestic and visited some once-in-a-lifetime ports.  The crew worked hard to be sure the ship is incredibly well maintained and cleaned even though it was only a few months old!  With a very few exceptions, the entire staff from housekeeping to the officers were especially friendly and made an extra effort to make the voyage special for passengers.  The fitness center is well equipped and large enough so I never had to wait for a cardio machine although the weight machines were sometimes understandably busy.  

Unfortunately, like the sister ship Regal, the sauna is only available to those willing to pay the extra fee ($500+) for Spa access.  We were traveling with another couple and we requested a traditional dinner table for 8 but instead we had table for 4.  We still enjoyed the meals and the servers (Anna and Judit) were fabulous but we would have preferred the opportunity to meet other passengers with a larger table.  One new production show was truly incredible whereas the remained of the stage shows in the Princess Theater were the typical cruise entertainment shows.

Overall, our Princess experience was as expected and we will continue to travel with Princess in the future.  In fact, we already have three cruises scheduled during the next 18 months!

The ship is fantastic and the people who worked the ship were the best ever. The food was wonderful and the entertainment was way above board. There was not one little hiccup during the very long cruise. A trip that was made enjoyable because the crew was beyond belief.

The ship is beautiful but because we took so many long day tours we sadly didn't get to take advantage of all they offered.

There were 3 of us, childhood friends, so we upgraded to a large suite.  The extra room was nice but there was no way to use a hair dryer in either the 1/2 bath or the larger shower room.  This made it difficult for 3 of us to get ready each morning. Our balcony was always totally wet each morning so we weren't able to enjoy breakfast outside.  Had we not been leaving to go on tours so early, we would have been able to use the balcony more.  The room, while spacious, was a bit of a traffic jam around the closet doors and entry to the shower area.  The MANY perks that came along with the suite were very nice especially the laundry service and special dinner and breakfast. We received 2 full bar set- ups but since we don't drink hard liquor we traded them for 1 bottle of wine. That seemed a bit unfair as we had to include all our soda and water in the trade.

The restaurants were very good.  The Crown Grill was our favorite and the staff there was terrific. Our dinner was outstanding and we also enjoyed having breakfast there any day we could. Unfortunately, the French restaurant, La Mer, was a big disappointment as the meal was not at the level we expected for the additional $35 charge - they wanted to charge us extra for standard water - REALLY!

The cappuccinos were excellent so be sure to buy a Coffee Card.

I have cruised on Princess often and will again especially on cruises where I have more time to spend aboard.

I had a terrible trip,rude people awful food unbelievable bad service.

and over charged for everything. After 4 days of enduring all of this I 

demanded to disembark in Toulon France! I only got to use an elevator once they took forever and when they did come the elevator was full? Over 4 thousand people busy chaos everywhere. After getting of in Toulon France I had a wonderful vacation.

I will never go on a cruise again!

Loved these ports of call. We missed Messina due to weather, but we'll go back.

Ship is new, but there are still some odd designs. Probably no perfect ship.

Service was either spot on or off, so some work to do there.

Cruise was nice, nice for the wife and I to get away from it all!

Cruising the Mediterranean on a ship this size was a dream come true.  The Princess Theater is spectacular.  The premier of "Fantastic Journey" was every bit "The most technologically-advanced, immersive musical and cinematic experience at sea".

This was my first cruise and I had an amazing time! Staff was so nice and accommodating, facilities were beautiful, and excursions were well planned. Thanks!
