Review of the December, 12, 2011 sailing on The Majesty of the Seas from Miami.
The Majesty of the Seas is my favorite. A small ship, I think, feels more like classic cruising. Better service results from a better crew to passenger ratio. Less time in lines to get on or off, and far fewer lines on board. This was my forth cruise on Majesty. The last one was a year and a week before, so I got to see a year of differences.
The ship is looking a bit more worn. While I understand that the Majesty is scheduled for dry dock, most of things I saw were just a simple lack of general maintenance. More things were broken and left that way. For example:
Small cabin, but most on older ships are small. Small window which was unobstructed but covered with sea spray salt. There was noise from runners on the Promenade just above this cabin. But overnight it was quiet. Very clean and no signs of wear. Easy to use combination safe. Only one pair of outlets at the desk. Bring extension cords.
