Review summary

Majesty of the Seas is an old ship that needs to be retired. This is not the kind of ship that millenials would enjoy. On a trip where 50% of your time is spent onboard a ship, you would expect the ship to be nicer. Onboard entertainment is lackluster, as the ship is meant to just "get you there." State rooms are large though, which is a nice touch. VEGETARIANS BEWARE - the options are very very lacking. Special requests yield subpar quality food. The staff, however, is very friendly and was accommodating of most of our needs.

Food and Dining

Severely lacking in vegetarian options on board. The dining staff catered to special requests, but the resulting dishes were tasteless and lacked variety. Need more on-demand vegetarian meal options so we don't have to wait until breakfast and dinner.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Small gym and not much quality entertainment productions.

Service and Staff

Our waiter, Payung was excellent, and attempted to accommodate our needs. Our room was well kept and cleanly thanks to the great service. Wheelchair service should be more easily accessible and the elderly should be provided more attention.

Very old ship - would not sail on this again. Tiny pool.

Ship tip

The ship gets the job done, but don't expect frills or luxury. Dining halls are a sticky mess. Ship feels really really old. Pool is far too small for the number of passengers. Elevators took forever to move, which is difficult for the elderly.

No excursion. Tampa is mainly a port of departure.

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5

Disembarkation was extremely slow due to the need to follow Naval procedure and only allowed us to spend 2.5 hours on port. Need more time at Key West as it's a great port to visit.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5

Excellent port with lots of culture. Had significant time on land and plenty of opportunity to experience Havana.
