Majesty of the Seas

5 Night Western Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Sail date: December 08, 2018

Ship: Majesty of the Seas

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Singles/Friends

Reviewed: 5 years ago

Review summary

Interior cabin was VERY small, no frig! Ship seemed a bit "long in the tooth" (that means OLD for you younguns out there!)....I heard it's going in for a "refurbishing" in Jan....It IS needed. Staff and food and entertainment were up to the usual Royal Caribbean standards. You should choose this ship if you like smaller, more intimate spaces, and you like to get to know the people and crew. I missed the Solarium and the Ice shows of the bigger ships.

Windjammer Marketplace

5 out of 5

The usual food done exceptionally well, and the service here was better than other WJ spots I've been to on other ships. Again, I think the smaller size and passenger count prob had something to do with that, but I enjoyed my food in THIS Windjammer better than other RC ships

Sorrentos Pizza

5 out of 5

The pizza is never the greatest, but it is always appreciated, especially late at night. I did NOT, however, like the location, at the far end of the ship a staircase above the Windjammer. Not conducive to a late night snack as it is on other ships where it is centrally located.

Schooner Bar

5 out of 5

This is always my fave place on any Royal ship, and this one was EXCELLENT! The head bartender MATE was the best, and Pedro on the guitar was one of the best I've ever listened to!

Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

As good as any ship, maybe better as it was so much less crowded!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

While smaller and "Tighter" than other ships, the casino crew were fantastic!

Day Spa and Fitness Center

5 out of 5

As good as on any ship, with the exception of the lack of a scale to weigh myself...it was broken! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!Rami in the Spa was an EXCELLENT massuese!!!

Whirlpools

1 out of 5

TERRIBLE.....they are called "hot tubs" but I would call them "warm baths"....no jet power to speak of....a REAL DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!

This boat was supposed to have been refurbished last January. It was falling apart last December. These rumored refurbishments never seem to happen on any of these boats. Majesty had entire rows of seats that were tilting forward and falling apart in the main show room last December. RC personnel always maintain PLAUSIBLE IGNORANCE when you point out any problems. Expect lipstick on a PIG.
