I have read a lot of negative reviews, so I"m hesitant. But the price is nice to get all the way from NOLA to the new CocoCay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsusin Posted July 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2019 we sailed Majesty earlier this month on a "Not Cuba" cruise ( booked before Cuba was pulled from any cruise itineraries). Its a smaller, older ship with a retro feel to it. It does have a Rock climbing wall, but not a lot of other bells and whistles, if that's important to you. The staff were lovely, service very good/excellent, we felt the food was very good and have booked another cruise on her. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff were lovely, service very good/excellent, we felt the food was very good and have booked another cruise on her. We have sailed on Her Majesty many times. She is an older ship, so she lacks the bells and whistles of her bigger sister ships. Yes, she has a rock climbing wall and usually a terrific staff. We have always had a good time sailing on her. I have always credited the entertainment staff for doing an outstanding job to create a cruise compass filled with various activities and the shows, although NOT the Broadway shows of the bigger ships have usually been entertaining. That is all I can ask. Food is very subjective and we are not big 'foodies' so I won't comment on that except to say....we have always found good choices for us. You won't find the specialty restaurants that the bigger ships have on her, as far as I know. Edited July 31, 2019 by Paulette3028 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotfeathers Posted July 31, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2019 She is a wonderful ship. The staff is simply the best. But I'm not sure I would want to do a 7-day cruise on her as small as she is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on a "not Cuba" cruise coming up soon and I'm hoping it's just waiting for us when we arrive and doesn't require any time or effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb4534 Posted July 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Our experience is that our OBC has always been showing on our on-board account when we boarded the ship. We always bring all paperwork showing expected OBC's just in case. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt have OBC but did have a significant refund and it was on our account day 2 ( didnt check day 1 so it might have already been there then😉) Enjoy!

Coralc Posted August 1, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Isn't Majesty the same class of ship as Monarch? We will be onboard in February, I am expecting it to be pretty similar. No worries about dining packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be onboard in February, I am expecting it to be pretty similar. No worries about dining packages. Yes. Sovereign class. Majesty is the baby of the three. Very very very similar to Monarch. Different names for the venues, of course. Same weird tween deck. Same Deck 7 promenade deck, where OV cabins NEED TO KEEP THEIR CURTAINS CLOSED. LOL Not a single specialty restaurant. Has Compass Deli, which Monarch didn't. Monarch had Jade, which Majesty doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted August 1, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Oh yes! That odd promenade deck with the cabin windows facing out to the walking deck. It will be fun. We really like New Orleans. Edited August 1, 2019 by Coralc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderista Posted August 1, 2019 #20 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I'm going on this ship shortly thanks to being invited, managing to get leave and the WOW sale combining to make that happen. Looking at the photos, she looks a little dated but I'm hopeful for a good experience. Edited August 1, 2019 by Wanderista 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyHutt Posted August 2, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 2, 2019 My bestie and I sailed Majesty at the beginning of July - another “not Cuba” cruiser. We had zero issues with getting our Cuba refund... it was on our statement by the end of night 1. She’s a lovely ship with amazing staff and we didn’t have a single bad meal in MDR (Windjammer was very mediocre, in my opinion, but I only went for a couple of lunches). Loved the Schooner bar and the piano singer. It was a wonderful and wonderfully relaxing cruise. I will say, however, that it’s not a ship I would take my teen and tween boys on as there wasn’t much to keep them entertained. But a chair on the sun deck and a frozen beverage were all we adults needed to enjoy our day. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
