My husband and I just got back yesterday from another amazing Royal Caribbean experience. We sailed out of Fort Lauderdale back in February on the Liberty of the Seas; this time it was out of Miami on the Majesty of the Seas. I had read so many mixed reviews on the Majesty that I truly had no idea what to expect. We are new to cruising, with the Liberty being our first cruise experience. We never expected the Majesty to be as amazing as the Liberty, but our experience was that the Majesty actually surpassed the Liberty in some ways!! Both ships were amazing, and it was fun to compare them.

We live just north of Fort Lauderdale so we left home about 9:00 and were at the Port of Miami around 10:00. We waited until 11:00 to board. I have seen this question asked many times - "What is the earliest I can board?" Apparently it is 11:00 on the Majesty, I guess depending on sailing time.

We had initially booked a SOV cabin but thanks to my amazing friend Tina we got a reduced price on a Grand Suite about a week before sailing. Suite checkin was ridiculously fast and we were onboard in no time at all! All staterooms were going to be ready at 1:00, so we wandered a bit and then headed to the Windjammmer for our first meal onboard, which was delicious. The service in the Windjammer onboard the Majesty far surpassed the service in the Windjammer on the Liberty in that we never had an empty glass, dirty plates were removed immediately, just alot more interaction with the staff - I guess because the Liberty is so huge and the Majesty is not. Remember, we love them both - not throwing stones at my Liberty!!! :) Read more
