Majesty of the Seas Review

Additional details
My husband and I went on a 4 night Bahamas cruise on the Majesty of the Seas this past July. This was our first cruise and we weren't sure what to expect. I read message board and reviews diligently and found them incredibly helpful, so I wanted to pay it forward and give a review of our cruise.
EMBARKING
We boarded the ship in Miami which was a very smooth process. I felt nervous that very few directions were given about how much luggage was permitted, when to get on the boat, etc, but things ended up being quite simple. We boarded the ship around noon because I wanted to get on as soon as possible after we checked out of our hotel. In hindsight, I wish we would've waited until after 1 because our rooms were not ready. Unfortunately, no one else's rooms were ready until 1 either so common areas like the buffet and pool were very crowded until crowds could dissipate into their rooms. Thankfully, this was the ONLY time the ship ever felt crowded.
Cabin Review
We booked an obstructed view ocean view room on Deck 7. I searched for reviews and couldn't find what that meant, so I'll solve the mystery. Deck 7 is a deck where people can walk the perimeter of the ship which means that we had a window, but we had to keep curtains closed all the time so that people couldn't see into our room. We didn't have to pay anything extra for this window "perk" so we weren't upset about the oddness of it, but it would be annoying if you were expecting something better. It was fun to have the window to peer out each morning and see if we had arrived at our port yet. Additionally, being on deck 7 was nice so that we could walk only a few steps to a deck railing with a view, and the pool and buffet were only a few floors up, and dining room a few floors down. Overall, the room was tiny, but not as tight as I'd imagined. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of room in the closet to store our clothes. The room was cleaned daily including a nightly turn down service, but I was disappointed we only got one towel animal.
