paminohio Posted July 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Are there any big differences between these two ships that would make it worth an almost 4 hour drive from Orlando to sail on the Majesty vs. a much shorter drive to sail on the Sovereign? This would be for a young couple and a 4 year old. Thanks in advance for your advice/comments, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAYHEYRENEE Posted July 14, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Majesty stops at Key West instead of a day at sea and has balcony cabins (Sov will get them during a make over this late fall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted July 14, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I was going to tell you about the lack of balcony cabins. I didn't know about the port difference -- no Key West. I have heard but don't know b/c I've never been on the Sovereign that there are usually more kids given the proximity to Disney. Your 4 year old may benefit from that. I'd go w/ the cruise closer to home. Why suject the 4 year old (& yourselves) to the long car ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paminohio Posted July 14, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm actually doing research for a friend...I love to plan vacations so she asked for my help. She was originally going to book a Disney land/sea vacation package but I told her I was sure she could do it much cheaper separately and by cruising on a non-Disney ship. I have a 50.00 coupon from my May cruise on RCI that she can use so I figure why not put her on an RCI ship. I just wanted to be sure that there was not some reason the Majesty would be so much better than Sovereign. She's not sailing until April 2005 so maybe there would be a chance to get a balcony.

PoohUnderstands Posted July 14, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I would give her the option. With a 4 yr. old there is nothing like a Disney cruise. Why not call Disney and ask them to send her/you the neat and free DVD on cruising with Disney. Rooms on Disney are much bigger than on the Sov. or Majesty.
