Majesty Of The Seas Question

[HotRod3]

Does anyone know when RCCL is moving Majesty out of the fleet? My wife and I are planning some of our next cruises and want to be sure to make it on before it is moved.

Thank you in advance!!!

I don't believe there is anything official yet. Although you will probably hear a lot of speculation. :)

Sometime in 2015, I'm guessing earlier in the year.

This is only a guess, but I'd say around Feb 2015 when Explorer comes out of dry dock.

Majesty most certainly follow in the way of Sovereign and Monarch at some point - a point which will likely be sooner than later. (Majesty was launched only a year after Monarch). I tend to agree with the early 2015 speculations.

I agree. Remember, that this ship has a paucity in the way of balcony cabins, which is in oppositon to today's trend for cruise ships.

What would they replace her with... Enchantment, Explorer..etc?? Id think these ships are too big for the 3 and 4 day cruises. Now, maybe the Rhapsody could do it and add a Radiance class ship to Alaska itin.. mmm now that seems doable... but no other ship. I hope they keep her there. I like doing that shorty every now and then.

Remember Keith, they just replaced Monarch with the Enchantment. Seems like they would replace the Majesty with a Vision class ship.

Well, Enchantment of the Seas is already doing 3-/4-night cruises out of Port Canaveral (having replaced Monarch of the Seas).

 

And it's not too much of a stretch to imagine Explorer of the Seas replacing Majesty of the Seas when you consider that Liberty of the Seas does 5-night cruises. I certainly wouldn't mind a Voyager-class ship doing these trips, but that's just because I love the Royal Promenade and a quick 3-night getaway is all I can get sometimes.

My current guess: Enchantment replaces Majesty (better for Key West) and Explorer replaces Enchantment.

My source tells me the current plan is for Explorer to replace Majesty. It seems extreme, but my source has a 100% credibility rate with me so far. ;)

 

Besides, RCI has yet to tell anyone why they "tested" the Key West channel and turning basin with the Mariner of the Seas.

Hi Paul. They may not have told anyone the reason yet, but I'm sure they did that "test" for a specific reason...... Like having a Voyager Class ship making port stops there on a regular basis......:cool:

I know it doesn't mean anything but, I checked 2 sites, there is no bookings for the Majesty after April 2015. Earlier this year there was no sailings for Majesty after April 2014. Things are subject to change.

Majesty's 3 and 4 day cruises compete most directly with Carnival and NCL's 3 and 4 day cruises. These runs are huge moneymakers for all the lines, and I would expect to see something similar to the ships used by the other lines or slightly larger (larger ships have lower operating cost per person).

Royal is coming out with 3 new ships -- 2 in the new Quantum class and another in the Oasis class. Moving Majesty out of the fleet, probably won't happen until those 3 ships are cruising....that timetable could be early 2016.
