  1. Let me start this off by saying I am a seasoned cruiser of over 20 cruises but have sailed only Carnival and Disney until now. I booked the feb 22 booking for a seven day Bahamas and key west on the majesty for myself, my two young kids (aged 8 and 6) and my mother in law(first time cruiser). We got a great deal and booked the four of us for an ocean view room. As the cruise got closer, I began to panic about the room as my mother in law is very claustrophobic and one of those people that said she would never enjoy a cruise. I ended up participating in the Royal up program with a strong bid 

    for a two Bedroom suite. I was notified less than 18 hours from sailing my bid was unsuccessful. I was worried for NOTHING. Was the room tiny? Yes. Was it unclean? No. Was it survivable for 7 days? Absolutely. 
    I didn’t have  extreme expectations. I’m happy with friendly, good service and banquet type food that I didn’t have to prepare or clean. Interestingly, I am a very good cook and a food snob. I’m from New Orleans originally and expect a lot out of food quality. The majesty did not disappoint. I do think that the food quality and taste was better than Disney. The specialty dining on Disney is out of this world but the day to day is kinda ho hum for me. The chefs table on Carnival is fantastic and I gotta say I was impressed with even the buffet on toyal

    Caribbean ( not a buffet fan usually). The service was not Disney standards, but neither was the price... in a lot of ways it came very close and I do dare say succeeded my expectations. My 8 year old ordered steak and my wait staff cut up his food, just like Disney did. I liked the idea of a two day room cleaning, unlike carnival asking you to choose one. The service could not have been better on Royal and my hesitant mother in law enjoyed the heck out of it. It will definitely  not be the last royal I book. I was pleasantly surprised. I think if your expectations are to have a relaxed time with great food and service, this is the right cruise. This cruise snob highly recommends it! Let me know if y’all have any questions. Also, perfect day rivals Disney’s castaway. I was very, very impressed
