Review summary

This was my first time on a royal Caribbean but if all the ships are like Majesty of the seas I will definitely cruise with them again. The ship did everything they could to make it enjoyable.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

I only gave this 3 stars because when i was in the line at port Tampa I was stopped by a drug sniffing dog who sniffed out my vape pen. I was taken aside, frisked and searched while the tested my pen. They only found nicotine. This delayed our boarding onto the ship. Me and my wife were treated like a criminal and I will never cruise from this port again.

HAVANA, CUBA

3 out of 5

Not much to do there but did enjoy the classic car ride, very hot thou. Getting off the ship was a pain cause of Cubas port restrictions. Everyone had to pay 75 dollars for a visa. I would not go there again.

Most of the ships with RC are even better than Majesty.

Loved my cruise on Majesty! Sorry you had issues in Tampa, we didn’t even see any dogs or much security last month, it was one of the easiest embarkation and disembarkation processes I’ve experienced. Give it another try!!!
