This was our 7th Royal Caribbean Cruise and our second on Majesty, although the first was about 15 years ago. Our 19 year old granddaughter cruised with my husband and me, and we had the owner's suite. It was very spacious with a large balcony and two very big beds (although our granddaughter's bed had been the couch). She wanted her bed out so we had no couch. The chairs were VERY uncomfortable--low seats, which were hard to get out of, and low backs with almost no support--nothing like the chairs we have in our home. They were very hard to read in or watch television in for any length of time. I was unable to get anything but lukewarm water out of the shower, although my husband & granddaughter assured me they got hot showers. Although I don't care for tub showers, preferring stall showers, I wouldn't have minded except that the tub was high and hard to get into and out of. Television was lousy. The selection of programs was bad and several times we lost our connection. We saw Mortal Instruments four times--Lily Collins is beautiful and Aidan Turner (who was the handsome dwarf in The Hobbit) is real eye candy! Our cabin attendant was a delight. She couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We loved her.

I thought the food on the ship was great, especially the desserts. I still fondly remember a chocolate soufflé with coffee sauce and a bay shrimp appetizer with such great sauce that I had to sop up every bite with my rolls! My server said I could get it again if I wanted even though it wasn't on the night's menu. I did, and so did my granddaughter. The servers were great as well. I wasn't as crazy about the Windjammer. Some of the food was very good, others just mediocre. They did not have tomato juice or V-8 at breakfast, but they sent down to the dining room for some. We ate the rest of our breakfasts in the dining room. Although I don't drink a lot of soda, I was extremely disappointed that it was not free; I feel soda, like iced tea and coffee and milk, should be free. We didn't make it to Johnny Rocket's, which I would have enjoyed, or to the pizzeria.

The shops at Centrum were very disappointing. I could not even get a tee shirt for my other granddaughter in size XS. There was almost nothing for small kids; it was very adult-centered. Fortunately I was able to get her gifts in Key West.

Cabin Review

Would have been great with better chairs and a stall shower and if my granddaughter would have let us fold up her bed during the day and have a sofa!
