Review summary

Beds are ROCK Hard so I woke up in pain after four hours each day. Plumbing backed into bathroom. Terrible room location at the bottom of the ship. When i complained Royal Carribbean did nothing. Cheap cruises booked me in a terrible room location for a small amount if money. Wont use them again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Slow. Pretty typical but we've had much faster

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

First drink was to be made with rail vodka and mixers and they charged for Grey Goose (and i hope used it). Not a good start

Onboard Activities

Small older ship. Pretty limited unless you are into gambling and bingo. We’re not

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Went to see the comedian and the intros were over a half hour! I think. Thats when we finally got up and left. Too frustrated waiting to watch that we got fed up.

Okder Kids are grown. My teenagers didn’ want to come

So much blight from the Castro years on. Needs LOTS of investment in infrastructure to make me ever want to go back

For those of you reading this review, I am on the Majesty as we speak, and besides for the location this guest is complaining about, everything couldn't be further from the truth. Everything has been perfect and Royal Caribbean has been bending over backwards. The embarkation was extremely fast, I got dropped off at 10:45 and was still on the ship with my first drink in hand before 11:00. The only extra time was needs because Majesty sails to Cuba and they require a visa. Additionally, the introduction before the shows was not a half an hour, only the first night was longer because they go through their customary introduction of the singers/dancers, the cruise director comes up, and then the entertainment. Yes, this ship is one of the older ships, but it is still in great ship. This is one of only six ships in the world that sail to Cuba, so you cannot expect perfection, just go and enjoy Cuba while you can.

Seems like cruising may not be for you. It’s not for everyone. My daughter was on this ship last month and was pleasantly surprised at the good condition, good service, food, etc., based on some reviews. I guess it is what your expectations are.
