Great staffing. by
Rodney from Jersey city, New Jersey Sailing date: Aug 2007Pros: The shops, dining rooms and state rooms. The most enjoyable aspect of my first cruise was the friendliness and the staff. The stateroom attendant and the dining staff made me feel real comfortable. The guest services staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The overall staff, bartenders included were very down to earth but professional as well. The only thing that was a little inconvenient was the long line to check in on the boat and the line to get off of the boat at the end of the cruise. However I do understand that nobody is perfect. The cruise line to look has more staffing at the front counters for check in during 1pm and 5pm. I will definitely cruise again with Royal Carribean. Dining/Food

  Great Christmas Cruise by
Linda G. from Palm Beach Gardens, FL Sailing date: Dec 2008Pros: Everything was just wonderful - the food, the entertainment, the staff, the ship!! Cons: Nothing that I didn't like I loved everything about the ship. The ONLY problem with this cruise is that it was too short for me. This is my third Christmas cruise and the other 2 were 7-day. But everything was just wonderful. This ship had been refurbished since the last time I was on it and it was done very well. All the staff was just amazing - friendly, helpful, courteous, particularly the wait staff. I would absolutely cruise Royal Caribbean again, preferably a 7-day cruise! But if I'm short on time, I would definitely do this one. Ship QualityThe Majesty of the Seas is a very nice, smaller ship. I prefer the smaller ones for myself. The decor was nice and everything was very clean, including the public bathrooms. Dining/FoodI didn't have any food that I didn't like. There were always several choices and sometimes difficult to decide between them, even though you can eat whatever you want. The dining times are a bit restrictive but it does help you to plan your day around your evening. Stateroom QualityThe stateroom was just fine for 2. The stateroom attendant was wonderful and always kept our room in tip-top shape. The location was perfect as it was near the shops, atrium, guest services, etc. and near the elevator. Ship Staff QualityThe staff was the best. Friendly, helpful, accommodating. The wait staff was excellent - anything you wanted, they were there for you. Entertainment & ActivitiesThe Royal Caribbean Singers & Dancers were amazing!! Lots of talent. Made me want to get up on the stage with them and dance! I do believe the rest of the entertainment could be improved upon. Wasn't interested in seeing a juggler, and the comedian was corny. The singers and dancers were the best!

My first cruise! by
Irene H. from Dallas, TX Sailing date: May 2009Pros: All you can eat food; comedy shows Cons: Lack of availability of free beverages; not enough time at the ports This was my first cruise ever! Initially I had other vacation plans but it fell through and I was able to find a last minute cruise deal to the Bahamas on the Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas. The inside of the ship was very nice, not as grand as some of the other ship's pictures i've seen on the website...i guess this is a smaller ship or something. Took some time to explore the ship. The gym area was bright and clean. The pool deck was already filled with people. The pools were very small though, and one of them was drained. There were too many people in the small pool so that wasn't too appealing. They had a free softserve machine by the pool area. That was awesome!Our room was comfortable and clean and we were warmly greeted by the stateroom attendants on our deck. It took a long time for our luggage to arrive at our room, so we missed the main dining time at 6pm. No biggie, we just checked out the buffet instead. The food was pretty good. They had a build your own risotto bar where the chef cooks it for you on the spot. That was super delicious. However, the desserts were a disappointment. Pretty much everything was bad other than the ice cream. Believe me when I say I got one of each on the desserts. They had the best ice cream though. The ship docked at 2 locations: CoCoCay the first day, then Nassau on the 2nd day. From 8-4:30pm you can leave the ship. I think they should extend that time to at least 7pm or soemthing. I felt like I couldn't sleep in because I have to take advantage of the time on shore. But they have activities that go on into the night and then you have to wake up early the next day. I felt like I didn't get to relax as much as I wanted on this trip. The main dining was pretty cool, although I didn't have a good first impression as we were not greeted at all upon arrival for dinner. We had to walk around and look at different tables until we found our assigned table numbers. Our waiter and assistant waiter were very friendly. The food was hit or miss. Some dishes were good while others tasted like cafeteria food. The desserts were better in main dining vs buffet, but were still mediocre. For the most part I had a good time. There were so many activities going on that there was never a dull moment, but also I felt rushed at times. One big complaint we had was that there wasn't convenient availability of free beverages...you have to go to the buffet area to get free drinks. There was a cafe by all the shops but it did not offer anything that wasn't extra charge. We thought that they should at least offer some free coffee and tea since its right next to a lounging area. We also witnessed a couple rude staff members, one of which was directly rude to us when we wanted to ask some questions. Another one was rude to a guest when she didn't understand the staff member's answer to her question. I also did not like the way they make you leave the ship on the last day. They pretty much make everyone leave the ship by 8-9am, leaving no time to really enjoy breakfast while having to go pick up duty free merchandise in the morning. I felt really rushed and tense, it really put a damper on the end of the trip. I'd say the trip overall was hit or miss. But my ultimate goal was to get away and get some sun...which I did...so I still had a good time. Ship QualityThe ship was really nice and clean in general. The only complaint is that every public toilet I used had problems flushing...not a fun thing to deal with!! Dining/FoodGenerally good food and lots of selection. Disappointed on the desserts. Awesome ice cream. Stateroom QualitySmaller than I imagined but it was very comfortable and clean! The stateroom staff constantly cleaned our room...I was impressed! Ship Staff QualitySome people were very nice (stateroom staff/housekeeping/dining staff). Some were very rude. Entertainment & ActivitiesThe comedy shows were great and hilarious! One complaint is that they scheduled shows during dining hours so we had to miss a couple...

Cococay (Cruiseline Private Island)The BBQ was awesome! Lots of lounge chairs. The water was a little dirty and the sand was quite rocky. Great for lying under the sun but maybe not playing in the water.
Don't Miss: the BBQ lunch buffet Nassau, BahamasTake the ferry to Paradise Island. The Atlantis Hotel is huge! Definitely need to check it out (especially "The Dig"). We walked to another public beach area (since Atlantis's beach is private). The water was GORGEOUS! Clean and crystal blue.
Don't Miss: Public Beach area by the Riu Hotel on Paradise Island (need to take taxi/ferry to Paradise Island) 9 out of 11 people found this review helpful.

The Best Vacation Ever! by
A Traveler from Fort Lauderdale, FL Sailing date: Sep 2009Pros: There is something to do for everyone...from all ages. You can relax by the pool all day, savoring the "drink of the day," or you can partake in the many, many exciting activities onboard the ship. Cons: Hard to say, can't think of anything... The ship was beautifully designed with all the amenities you could want. Ship Quality

Cococay (Cruiseline Private Island)Coco Cay, definately worth it.
Coco Cay was stunning, and there was plenty of beach chairs and activities. The drinks were reasonably priced, and the food was good. GO THERE!
Nassau, BahamasNassau.
Nassau itself is okay, unless you do one of the excursions. Definately visit Senor Frogs!
