champagne123 Posted February 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Luckily found out I have extra time off in July. We NEVER cruise in the summer, but found a cheap cruise. Looking at the deck plans for the MOS, and only see ONE bank of elevators. Is this true? Any opinions on this ship? Looks really small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Luckily found out I have extra time off in July. We NEVER cruise in the summer, but found a cheap cruise. Looking at the deck plans for the MOS, and only see ONE bank of elevators. Is this true? Any opinions on this ship? Looks really small. There are actually 3 banks of elevators, forward, centrum and aft. The centrum are glass elevators and only service a few decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticMCO Posted February 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Suggest you inhale before you enter a standard cabin - they are that small.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rewind Posted February 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2018 My first cruise was on Monarch with our cabin on deck 3 near the Centrum. I thought it odd that we could only go up a few floors and then had to walk forward or aft to take an elevator the rest of the decks. It's an odd layout but also it makes it interesting.

Kowale Posted February 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yes, it is a "small" ship by today's standards, but my family thought that it was our most enjoyable RC cruise yet. Awesome staff.

champagne123 Posted February 20, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Oh, no!!! Really? We were even going to go “on the cheap “ and get an inside cabin ( which we never do). Having second thoughts 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathimac123 Posted February 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Oh, no!!! Really? We were even going to go “on the cheap “ and get an inside cabin ( which we never do). Having second thoughts We went on Majesty in January. We had an inside cabin for BF and myself and another one for DS and his two friends. It was a bit snug for the 3 young men, but our cabin was just fine. We considered it "cozy," not crowded. The only problem was the configuration of the bed. It left one person "trapped" if they had to get up to use the restroom at night---had to climb over the partner or wake him up. Otherwise, our trip on Majesty was wonderful. The Centrum area is great, with lots of different activities every day. . .live band karaoke (which was really very good), line dance classes, long distance corn-hole competitions. . .really an enjoyable experience!

Iowa_Vike Posted February 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2018 MOS is a great ship. Small rooms yes. Smaller than the other fleet anyway. Upgrade to an outside window if you want a little more room and still on the cheap. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snit13 Posted February 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We had JS in January and DH loved it. We have a GS in April. I have to stay at home if I don't have a balcony. Only major problem with Monarch and Majesty is I am forever getting lost with the strange layout. Many times you "simply can't get there from here." Always have to stop to think if I want to go to Schooner Bar which deck do I have to exit to walk thru to the bar. Good thing DH is good at navigation. Also have to plan on how to get to Viking Crown Lounge. Note, trying to find my free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiquitous Cruiser Posted February 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2018 When on MOS last Oct with an OV we had the steward separate the beds. It gave us more floor space in the middle of the cabin and avoided the crawl over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted February 21, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thank you everyone!! We decided to go for it. It is so cheap and have nothing to lose. Now to find cheap airline tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holden0301 Posted February 21, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I went with a friend on Majesty a few years ago. We booked an ocean view room and were upgraded to an Owner's Suite! It was a wonderful unexpected experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having second thoughts 🤨 Most OV cabins on MJ are just as tiny as insides. Only the SOV on deck 9 is a decent cabin Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted February 22, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 22, 2018 My first cruise ever was on the Monarch of the Seas (Sister Ship) in 1995 in an inside and even with extra time in the cabin, it was our honeymoon, it wasn't a bother with the small space and of course, we didn't know any better. Now that I'm on a 4 day on Majesty, I'm in a Superior Ocean View!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
