Review summary

Not my best experience. Obviously no one can control the weather, but the cruise overall was not great.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was uninspired and just not very good. One evening the recommended entree choice was a fish platter. Fish had been frozen and was pretty much inedible. Reminiscent of Gorton’s Fish sticks. Some of our evening meals were not good at all. Salads were usually fresh and good, but entrees were flavorless, presentation was lacking and overall it was just not at all what we expected. Smaller, older ship evidently equals fewer dining venues. Bar staff was slow and unattentive

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not a lot of onboard activities. Again, uninspired and ho-hum.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Lionel Ritchie show was fabulous.

Children's Programs

Were not traveling with children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Waiters in main dining room were great. Stateroom attendant was very good.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship was old but clean

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was adequate and clean for the oldest ship in the fleet.

Ship tip

Set your bar low or go for a newer ship.

I constantly hear this ship is a disappointment :( my husband has been on it twice and says it’s terrible We love RCCL they should do something about majesty! It’s giving them a bad name! Not everyone understands that she’s old etc and they try this ship and never sail Royal again! And they don’t even discount it that much!

So sorry to hear that. Hope you don't give up. I know that overall RCL is better than Carnival, however we have never had a bad cruise with Carnival.
