EMBARKATION: Flawless, extremely fast and port personnel were refreshingly helpful. We pre-checked in on-line and had our Set Sail Passes which made this process effortless. We were on board in 15 minutes (12pm) Our cabin was ready at 1pm as promised, our luggage arrived a short time later.

We did quite a bit of on-line reviewing while awaiting our first cruise. Royal Caribbean and it's ships were well represented by an abundance of information. We expected the Majesty of the Seas to be an older, but well kept ship, and indeed it was. Cabins were worn but extremely clean and as comfortable as could be expected for the size.

CABIN 9074, SO (Superior Oceanview), deck 9. Superior Oceanview proved to be a misinterpretation of the term "Superior". The only view available from deck 9 are the lifeboats unless you're 7ft tall looking out at the upper most level of the window, standing on the bed. We were disappointed to pay the upgrade to 157sq.ft. from 119sq.ft. expecting a superior oceanview.....the upgrade only afforded us some much appreciated extra square footage. Cabin was clean, aft location and certainly void of any noise at all. Beds, were swayed in the middle but we were at least able to get some sleep. Our stewart was okay, but certainly not up to some of comments we have read on-line that would raise him to remarkable. We seldom saw him. Read more
