We chose this cruise to see Fiji, but bad weather pushed us away from the Fiji islands two days early. Out of three planned days in Fiji, we only were able to see the Suva area and in heavy rain. The cruise made up for it with an extra day at sea and an extra day in New Caledonia.
The ship itself is relatively new, so it looks fresh, but overall, it's appearance is average. I think the ...
Travelled with my parents to see some South Pacific islands. Unfortunately, a cyclone was forming near Fiji so after 1 day at Suva we spent the following two days at sea travelling very slowly towards New Caledonia where we spent an extra port day. Whereas we should have had two more days at Fiji.
The one day at Mystery island on Vanuatu had a lovely beach and trpoical feel. Weather meant the ...
This was a 3 night cruise from Sydney to Eden, last time we were on Majestic was almost 4 years ago just before the Pandemic was declared, it was 14 nights to Pacific Islands & Fiji.
It is still in the same beautiful condition as then, and we so enjoyed our short break.
The food was so nice, the quality was streets ahead of Royal Caribbean which we have been on twice since sailing ...
We chose this cruise to get us back to our home port, without the need for a long flight at the end. We had commenced a Panama trip in April on the Island Princess, unfortunately, we were medically evacuated after day one. The trip on the Majestic was a last-minute booking to make up for our missed holiday. The ship was the biggest we have cruised on and although very well laid out we would still ...
This was our second transpacific relocation cruise with Princess and was originally chosen to fit in LA pre-cruise and the port call to Maui. The change in itinerary due to the devastating fires on Maui was a disappointment but resulted in a bonus stop-over in Moorea which is some ways even surpasses the beauty of Bora Bora which now doesn't cater for ships of Majestic's size.
Boarding in LA ...
The Majestic has done it again -
the service is poor, the food is below bad and tasteless, activities are boring, shows are like 5th grade talent shows, they nickle and dime you for everything and now they are charging extra if the dining areas if you want steak or lobster or if you ask for seconds!. The Alfredos pizza place was basically empty except for people that had extra packages, but ...
This was our first Princess cruise - and it won't be our last! We have cruised Carnival and NCL and usually choose our ship based on the itinerary, price etc... Several family members encouraged us to try Princess so when we saw the repositioning deal for the Majestic from Vancouver to LA it was a great time to try it - we chose a balcony cabin with Princess Plus. We made a $200 bid to upgrade ...
While most of the staff were very friendly and go out of their way to help you, guest services left must to be desired. Unless you purchase upgrades and shore excursions, don't expect must. Preferential service is give to passengers who pay the extra money, the rest of the passengers' needs are only seen if the staff has time. This includes disembarkation times at ports. If you stop at a port that ...
This is our second trip on Majestic in two years; the first of which was to New Zealand.
THE GOOD
The good news is that the overall energy level has much improved since our lethargic NZ experience. The cruise director and his staff did a great job of keeping us all engaged and there was fun enjoyed by all.
We had a mini suite which was clean and perfectly managed by our steward, Aldwin. ...
We choose this cruise because of the itinerary. Also because 30 years ago I had a great experience aboard Princess cruises. This time was different. Despite having been on at least 50 cruises, we found this ship very hard to navigate. The layout is just terrible and makes no sense. We also found the interior very kitsch, outdated and tacky. This ship was originally made for the Asian market and ...
