Norwegian Majesty Review

Editor's Note: NCL's parent company Star Cruises sold Norwegian Majesty to Cyprus-based Louis Cruise Lines in April 2008, but chartered the ship to NCL through fall 2009. The ship's last cruise for NCL was a 7-night Bermuda sailing leaving from Philadelphia on October 24, 2009. After a minor refurbishment, the vessel will begin cruising for Louis in December under the name Louis Majesty.

After a stretching, Norwegian Majesty reentered service as a nearly new ship. The addition of the new 112 ft. midsection resulted in the addition of two new restaurants, 203 more passenger cabins (and 33 crew staterooms), a second swimming pool, a pair of whirlpools and a coffee bar.

While the ship, along with a handful of other Norwegian Cruise Line middle-agers, is anticipated to depart the fleet by 2010 (to make room for new, contemporary vessels), the refurbishment that resulted from the stretching was fairly extensive -- and incorporated some behind-the-scenes improvements as well (a new laundry, and expanded cold food storage and freezer capacity).

The biggest change, of course, was the conversion of ship public spaces into a "freestyle cruising" style vessel, with a range of dining options. The French-oriented Le Bistro is the obvious star.

And like the other older members of the fleet, Norwegian Majesty offers a value-priced alternative, particularly for folks sailing out of Eastern Seaboard ports like Charleston and Boston; the ship spends most of its time, depending on season, in the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda.
