If you are a die hard RCI fan or if you are a first timer, this shorty cruise is for you. If you need just a little more than adequate, perhaps another cruise line. Nothing really wrong with this ship, just that little spark was missing. My 15th or so cruise, 2nd with RCI (Jewel Of The Seas New England cruise 2008). After that one, I swore I would never sail with RCI again, but this cruise fit my schedule, went to Key West, a new port for me, and was just long enough to see if my Bride liked cruising. She Does. Booked Princess to Alaska already.

The Sovereign class of ships (Majesty & Monarch) are the oldest and smallest of RCI's fleet (hard to believe that when launched, this class of ship was the biggest in the world, now they are among the smallest of the modern cruise ships. The Majesty is like a old gal who is just past her prime but is trying to hold onto that young dude she met in a bar last night. (I don't mean to offend you gals, if I did, forgive me) Just a little dowdy, nothing too worn.

Odd layout, with cabins and public spaces mixed on nearly every deck, so we won't stroll from the pointy part to the round part on one deck of public spaces will we.

Always. It was Spring Break. Don't go on Spring Break cruise unless you wanna see a bunch of intoxicated young ladies in bikini's running about at all hours. The young gentlemens who were on the prowl for those young ladies were much better behaved. Read more
