We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and newness of the ship, we were a little concerned because of some of the feedback we had read was not all complimentary, however this Cruise surpassed our expectations in every way .
Before the cruise We stayed a Radisson Blu new world which had a great central location near the people's square metro station, we got a 3 day pass which took us all ...
Just completed Shanghai to Brisbane - 20 nights and still sick.
My numerous attempts to speak to management re lack of enforced handwashing/cleaning of handrails etc, fell on deaf ears,
Every night in the theatre, numerous people could be heard coughing/sneezing right across the whole audience. Passengers who have previously cruised on Majestic, told us that this is normal - good business ...
We have sailed on the Royal and loved it. We knew Majestic was different as designed for a Chinese market but did not expect how little was avaliable. The Piasa has 3 bars,most closed at 2200. There is no Wheelhouse bar. No casino bar. No Vista Lounge bar. Crooners is a converted high rollers bar which is a thoroughfare from the theatre and had a high screen running through the middle which ...
This was the floating Nursing Home! Unless you are a Senior Citizen don`t go on this ship. We are not exactly young ( 55) however the average age of passengers must have been 75 plus.Entertainment was poor although it probably suited the older passengers. Food was very average with same choices in the buffet every day - very little change to the menu.
Bar / waiting staff and stateroom ...
This ship was completely unprepared for this repositioning cruise from Shanghai to Sydney.
The service in the dining room was the slowest and most incompetant Ive ever experienced.
We had anytime dining, which should have been called queue up and wait a long time.
When we finally got a table we mostly got only one waiter for a table for 8.
A waiter who seemed to be inadaquately trained ...
We choose this cruise because it was a new ship and the Destination was Australia.
The all over experince was good with most services up to expectation and some exceeding expectation. However there was an unacceptable amount of short coming in PR.
Firstly the embarkation in Shanghai was a disaster. 12.30 was the embarkation time and that appeared to be for every one. There was no stagerred ...
Other reviewers have referred to the debacle that was our boarding in Shanghai. A two to four-hour wait in the Asian heat was just the beginning of our worst cruise of more than twenty so far.
This ship is shockingly, badly designed. On board there is no sensation of being at sea, due to the enclosed nature of all of the public areas. There are not enough lounge seats for more than 3500 ...
Wanted to see some of Asia and this one was shown to us.Enjoyed it very much.
Embarkation was a nightmare though , something has to be done about it if a ship leaves Shanghai, no thanks to the Chinese government, we think.
Dining room food leaves a lot to be desired, was disappointing. It was the first time we chose to miss dinner there, at least 5 nights.
Overall loved the ship, crew, ...
We were very excited to be sailing on Majestic Princess to Australia and after veiwing videos sent to us by Princess on what we could expect, we had high expectations. What a let down. Embarkation was a nightmare, just over 2 hours of standing in the heat before we boarded. We were lucky, others told us it took 4-5 hours, they did nothing to assist the elderly or people with walkers. One ...
Spent 22 days on the Majestic and wish we had not spent a single night on board.
The boarding was hell, the food wasnt very good and the any time dining simply didnt work out. Unless we ate at 5.45 we would have to wait ages for a table even though they werent all full.
The entertainment was so bad we only went to 5 shows over the entire three weeks and the Princess cruise dancers and ...
