Review summary

This was my 31st cruise.....most of which were on a Royal Caribbean ship. The vessels are always clean and well maintained. I much prefer the smaller ships ( like the Majesty if the Seas). The crew members are always courteous and accommodating. The dinners in the main dining room were delicious.

The azipod is broken and the ship is still sailing. How does the azipod affect stability? RC has not notified anyone about this mechanical failure.

What kind of leaks? Stateroom bathrooms? Public floor areas wet?

That’s odd that they are being hush, hush. It’s the oldest ship so it needs a lot of fixing up. When i was on it a week ago there were leaks and things that they were fixing then.

Looked everything up for Majesty......looks like dry dock will be from the end of Jan thru mid March then goes back to Port Canaveral until 5/9, which is the 1st trip out of Tampa. I talked to my travel agent and she says RCCL is being very hush hush about the refurbishment!?

Awesome! Just double check with Royal Caribbean because people have mentioned that they have received letters that they are either switched to another ship or can go out of Tampa. Just double check. It will all work out!

I believe so, contact RCCL to find out. On the Majesty of the Seas group on another social media site they were talking about it going out of Tampa after it dry docks. I just got off of it earlier this month and so it doesn’t impact me. I would check in with RCCL to confirm all info.

Oh, maybe I’m wrong then. Our room attendant said it’s dry docking in January and he will be back on in April (he just got off Friday) and he said his time off was longer because it’s being renovated.

I know it’s dry docking in January for 4 months and they are renovating it. No idea what it will all entail, but it needs major renovations.

Good to know MelCampbell17! We have a “free cruise” voucher to use and didn’t want an inside room for 7 days! We are definitely spoiled after sailing Allure. We will make the best out of the situation

Freedom is great. If you prefer mega ships, don’t sail on Majesty. It’s so small and not nearly as much to do as on the mid size and mega ships.

Have you tried the RCCL Freedom of the Seas? More of a mid sized ship...not mega but definitely not small. My FAVORITE ship by far. Have sailed on her 3 times already 🤗

We love Royal as well, but prefer the mega ships. A little nervous about booking a smaller ship. Afraid will be disappointed.
