Review summary

Loved it and looking forward to cruise #2! Everything went well. Cruise staff was helpful and friendly! I'm sad for the people that won't get to experience the cruise to Cuba because of the travel ban effective today. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I thought it was a smooth process even though I didnt really have any other experience to compare it with.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I don't consider myself a foodie because I'm not open to trying a lot of new stuff BUT there were always options for me in Windjammer or in the Moonlight Dining Room. The food was very tasty and satisfying.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I enjoyed soaking up sun on one of the decks. I also enjoyed the Majesty singers, dancers and band. The Boogie Wonderland show was really good! The other bands were good too. I enjoyed my trip immensely!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
They were all great!!!!! The shows were very entertaining and I knew most of the songs which made them even more enjoyable

Children's Programs

I didn't have children on the ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The wait staff that served us was excellent. Caspher was funny and entertaining and consistently checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. Maureen was very attentive. I needed dairy free options and she allowed me to order a day early so that when I ate in the dining room I didn't have to wait a long time for my meal to be prepared. I really appreciated her for going that extra step for me.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was easy to find my way around the ship. My travel partner noticed that the ship was really clean. She has cruised several times before and was impressed with the cleanliness of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was a little small but comfortable. The gentleman that took care of our room did a great job. He made sure we had clean towels and a full ice bucket each evening.

Ship tip

With this being my first cruise I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. I booked my next cruise before the end of my cruise on Majesty!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5
We flew in late night the evening before the cruise. We slept and in the morning got up and caught the shuttle to the ship. We didn't get to enjoy Ft. Lauderdale.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
We parasailed and then took the trolley tour around the island. FUN! I've been to Key West before however I found things to do that I missed on my first trip there. It was a great day!

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
We had a fabulous time in Havana. We did one of the bus tours & of course a tour in a Classic car. Love the architecture. Was looking forward to going again in 2020 but found out today that the U.S. govt has issued a travel ban to Cuba. Disheartening but I hope to be able to go again soon.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
When I think about the crew dealing with getting 2000 people off of a ship I feel like it was a good experience.
