After traveling onboard the Island Escape ship in 2014, I had a good understanding of what made a good cruise. I can tell you right off the bat; the Thomson Majesty excels on every level.
We embarked the ship on the 17th of July 2015 to do the Adriatic Charms route around the Mediterranean, which consisted of going to Greece, Italy, Croatia and Albania. My first impression of the ship was a relatively good one. The exterior of the ship is very athstetically pleasing, featuring an all white paint job with splashes of red and blue on the main funnel.
We entered ship via the gangway to a very well presented floor considering it was only the second deck. The 3 main stairwells (Forward, Middle and Aft) run right through the ships 9 accessible decks, the exemptions being the 1st and 11th deck (11th is accessible using the side stairs) as do the elevators. Our cabin was located on the Biscayne Deck (Deck 4) and was a major step upwards in comparison to the Island Escape's more tight and crammed cabins. The cabin gave us enough room for the 3 of us to move around without bumping into each other thanks to the single beds on each side with bunks on top. There was plenty of lighting which was needed as we opted out of a window cabin and also holstered your basic toilet facilities. The only downside to the cabin was the TV and lack of plug sockets in the room. The TV's signal seemed to be shakey when at sea (which was expected) but was not much different when docked and the ports. However, it is bearable with a bit of patience. From what we saw, there was only 1 plug socket to be found (which can be used using a English to European adapter) and was frustrating when trying to charge multiple devices.
