Majesty of the Seas Review

Additional details
This was my fifth time on Majesty. My first was shortly after the major refurbishment in 2007. I remember being impressed then, and I am still impressed. For a 22 year old ship competing against her own Voyager, Freedom and Oasis class sisters, Majesty still offers something I think is special – a more intimate, still somewhat traditional cruise experience. You will not have a flow rider. You will not have a large cabin (unless you splurge on a suite). You will not have a ton of specialty restaurants. But you will have what I still think is one of the friendliest crews in the fleet. You can enjoy Cococay and Nassau, or you can stay on board and enjoy a nice relaxing day away from home.
OK – specifics. Embarkation – I am Diamond and so check in was a breeze. We went from dropping off the bags and parking the car to walking into the cabin in under 20 minutes. I timed it to board right around 1pm so the cabin would be ready, and it was.
Cabin: I got a Superior Ocean View (9016) to get the 30 extra square feet since I invited a friend along. I had requested ahead of time that they put a “bed wedge” in one of the beds since I have a reflux issue and need it for sleeping. That was not done, but our cabin attendant Jason was there in a flash, and promised it would be done by dinner, and it was. Our Diamond robes were waiting for us, too, as well as the extra pillows I asked for. Jason was an excellent and attentive cabin attendant.

Even though all of the cabins on Majesty are smaller than cabins across the fleet, the SO is quite comfortable for 2 people with lots of storage options. I will say this about the safe: I have a 13” Macbook air and it barely fit. It took a lot of attempts, but I got it in, and worried about getting it back out (I did). But don’t plan on the safe housing a larger laptop. There are two 120v outlets by the desk – conveniently located for the hair dryer in the drawer right under them. The view is "obstructed" like they say, because you are on top of the life boats, but you still see straight out.
