After a fantastic experience on a 3 day Bahamas itenerary on Monarch of the Seas just two months ago in November, we decided to sail her sister ship, The Majesty, for our anual "post holiday madness" getaway. We were very sadly surprised at the overall negative difference in food quality and service on this ship compared to Monarch. Even without the sisterly comparison, we would have given this cruise only 2 Stars. I hate to say this because I'm an RCL fan, but this voyage very nearly approached a designation of a total waste of money.
Pre-Cruise- Hawk's Cay resort in the Keys. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!
Getting to the Port- We drove up to the Miami Cruise Port from Marathon Fl. The trip up from Marathon to the Cruise Port took about 2.5 hours and was quite hectic and confusing due to tremendous road construction in Miami.
Cabin 4535. Inside, forward. Shared by 2 people of average size (5'10" 200 lb, and 5'1" 130 lb). Twin Bed configuration. If a queen configuration is used in this cabin, you will climb over your bedmate to get out of bed as the bed is pushed against one wall, and you'll have no bedside table for ANY storage so we had the beds separated to utilize the center table. Tiny cabin- we could not unpack at same time because of limited floor space. One had to sit on a bed while the other moved about. No where to store folded clothes in closet. Tiny drawers for perhaps bathing suits or undergarments. All other clothes had to remain in suitcase under bed. Good storage in bathroom. Tiny shower. Relatively quiet to general noise, however could easily hear the buzzing of someone's cellphone against the wall of a neighboring cabin, enough so that we thought it was our own. Calm 3'-5' seas this cruise but we still felt the swells in this cabin. I fear a rougher voyage may be uncomfortable for someone with sensitivity. Relatively speaking for this ship, cabin is in an inconvenient area. Several steps to the elevator down 2 very narrow hallways. Choose another cabin if you have the option.
