TheBeeSea Posted June 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Going on the Adriatic cruise on Majesty soon. Can anyone who has been on Majesty advise on what happens on first night / Is there dinner (what time approx?) What about shows? The first full day is a sea day followed by the formal night - what happens about theater shows? Is there priority to those who go to the formal event? Info gratefully received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted June 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Going on the Adriatic cruise on Majesty soon. Can anyone who has been on Majesty advise on what happens on first night / Is there dinner (what time approx?) What about shows?The first full day is a sea day followed by the formal night - what happens about theater shows? Is there priority to those who go to the formal event? Info gratefully received I can only tell you what happened when we were on Majesty in Feb in Canaries, but imagine it will be similar :) First night - Open sitting in Seven Seas & Four Seasons, also cafe Royale (buffet) The shows were at 9.15pm & 10.30pm. On formal night you will get an invite to either first or second sitting, but you can change it if you wish, at a desk near Reception, usually on the morning of the formal night. The shows were at 9pm and 10.45pm. I don't think there is any priority for people going to the formal event. I'd advise you to get to shows early though, as some seats are obstrcted by posts and it is not a big theatre like the Dream. Lucky you - Love the Majesty and love the Adriatic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappers Posted June 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Looking at the map of the area this cruise covers it looks a relatively small area,,can you see land all the time everywhere you go or am I just fooled by map scales!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted June 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2013 You are quite near land all the way really as you go up the coast to Venice and the back again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nell Posted June 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I don't recall seeing land once we were away from port in the Adriatic. I do recall on the Aegean sailing being near land a lot and passing what seemed like thousands of Islands, very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nell Posted June 18, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Are there shows on the first night, or is it only the sailaway party? I can't remember going to a show on the first night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted June 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2013 According to my Cruise News there was, as the Sailaway was very late - 11.30pm :eek: We didn't go - probably asleep by then :rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeeSea Posted June 19, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks all. We get to the ship only a couple of hours before sailaway time and so was wondering what may happen. Cannot see us going to the sailaway party tho - bit late after a days travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakanne1 Posted June 19, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks all. We get to the ship only a couple of hours before sailaway time and so was wondering what may happen. Cannot see us going to the sailaway party tho - bit late after a days travel. We have twice arrived late on board and had to do lifeboat drill, one at 9.00 and one at 10.00. We went for dinner in 7 Seas and the service was very slow, partly because we were put on a table with others who ordered all courses and we had to wait while they ate theirs very slowly. We kept looking at our watches and asked the waiter if we could have our main course but we had to wait for them to come from the kitchen. We didn't get our pudding as had to rush off for the drill. :eek: We did not get to see any shows either, but we did enjoy the Sailaway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted June 19, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 19, 2013 We nearly always go to the buffet on the first night, unless we are on a ship with set dining and then we go to the dining room to see what our dining companions are like :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got our puddings in the buffet later. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
