Review summary

The first thing i noticed was when we got on the ship there was no music. No music at all.. There was no music until the sail away party at 430pm. Normally as soon as you step on the ship they have music that's your first sign saying hey we on vacation.. In fact music didn't start each day until late afternoon.. Then none of the bartenders could make a decent drink. All the drinks tasted horrible.. Good thing we had the drink package so we could just try something else.. My husband had to tell them how to make the drinks.. There was one bartender that was on the pool deck that i found Andee from St. Vincent. He was AWESOME. So we spent the whole cruise walking to his bar every time we wanted a drink.. There were no activities through the day.. Like pool side games and stuff like that. They only had a comedy show one night ( the first night) and that was it.. Lastly the food was just ok.. Everyone we talked to was like the food is the best thing so we thought we would be Wow.. Umm no it was just ok.. The first night and the last night had the best food.

Embarkation

Security and check in were fast. But boarding the actually ship was horrible with long wait times

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

None of the bartenders could make a decent drink. Except for Andee at the pool deck bar his drinks were great. The food was tasteless and there was not a wide range of choices.. We were expecting to be WOW by the food but were not

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

My husband and I love to sit out on the pool deck. Listen to music and have drinks but most days music did not start to late in the afternoon. We attended all of the production shows in the evening. There was not enough comedy shows their was only one our whole sailing.

No problems with the ship. the Majesty is an older ship but she was still lovely and nothing to bad to say

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

The cabin and the bathroom were small in size compared to other ships we have been on. But we are hardly in our room any way.. Just to sleep and change cloths.

Not much to do at this port. Unless you book an excursion. We just got off the ship and went shopping right there at the port.

A cruise is what you make it. I am sorry you didn't want yours to be great.

It’s funny how what one person likes another doesn’t. You say not many poolside activities and I’m like sweet! That means I can just lounge and relax and it may not be so loud and crazy. I’ve had both experiences on cruises and personally prefer the more chill atmosphere. Lol
