"LIVE" from the Majesty / 06-21-2008

[maryln]

I booked a stateroom on the starboard side for our 9/27 cruise. I'm wondering if port side would be better since I like to see what's going on on land. BUT, it's also nice to look out at the beautiful blue water & there's a possibility the Majesty might dock in the other direction. Radio and other Majesty cruisers, what are you thoughts on this?:confused:

Radio,

Thanks. Your pictures were great.

When we went through the cut on the old Crown back in 06

their was lots of people standing there waving with him....We

were told they are the locals welcoming us in...

(I cant believe the old man is still doing this after we saw

him in 06)

Radio, does he still yell "WELCOME TO BERMUDA" "WELCOME"???

 

He sure does, as did many of the others that came out to watch the Majesty sail through the cut.

I usually check the Majesty on the live St. George web cam and she has been docked port side everytime.

We docked with the port side to shore. And, like iheart, any time I've seen her on the webcam, she's been docked with the port side to shore. Either way, the view will be nice. Besides, you probably won't spend much time in the stateroom while you're in Bermuda anyway. Have a great cruise!

We will be cruising in Oct on the Majesty and have an outside cabin on deck 8. I would like to know if the cabins are really really small. It really doesn't matter cause I'm going anyway but just curious. Thanks for any info

Do you have a superior OV or a regular OV? I think the superior is 139 sq. ft and the regular is 108 sq. ft.

Although it was a different deck a regular OV could look like this.;) I'm 5"3".

Friend and I made out fine, but I booked the larger one this time with DH.:)

We had a Deck 8 cabin last May. Yes, it's really, really small. If DH wanted to move around the cabin, I had to sit on my bed out of the way and vice versa. (However, I didn't think the bathroom was noticeably smaller than those on many other ships we've been on.) But, we didn't spend that much time in the cabin, so it wasn't a big deal. Enjoy!

[redskyy1]

Thanks all for the cabin info. I'm still going to have a great time, just not in the cabin. Oh DH didn't like that LOL;)

How much space does he need for a good time?

Well it WAS a convertible.:D

I seem to have a similar memory, except mine was a Datsun 240. Not a convertible either...

I will be very happy when the new Pier is finished in April '09.

 

Here are some Drawings, and Renderings of the new Pier.(As well as some current Radio Pics)

 

I read that it is mostly done now, except for the

 

Passenger Terminals (which are being constructed now)

Wow, those artist's drawings of the new pier are great. Thanks!

 

Radio, (or other Majesty cruisers), what sorts of books does the library aboard stock? Bestsellers (how old?) , classics, any sci fi? Trusting their library would help me travel light, but the NCL cruise consultants could tell me nothing.

[jemingway]

Keep up the good work.;)

Radio, I so appreciated the quality of your video, even more now that we have returned from the 7/5 sailing. >SNIP<

By the way, I smiled at the sloshing of the pool water in your video from the rough seas you had, which turned out to be worse than anything we experienced. >SNIP<

Thanks, Sue for the very nice comments !

 

I was able to post all of the Menu's, and Freestyle Daily's. . . .

They can be viewed HERE.

 

I sent many of my Cabin Photos to the CruiseStaterooms Web site, and they bought all of them !

 

I am so glad your cruise was great !

 

Thanks again for tuning in !

Just got off the Majesty yesterday and we had a standard outside room and it was tiny with a capital T! It was worse because we had the beds pushed together and you had to get into bed by crawling from the bottom if you were on the left side (up against the wall on the side and the desk at the bottom) and if you were on the right side, you had to climb over the edge of the bed because the corner is up against the closet! If the beds are separated, you at least have a path between them. If you have a standard room, upgrade now if you can.

Hi Radio! The trip was very nice. We were on deck 3 midship, which turned out to be a good spot as it was a very rough ride both to and from Bermuda. It was also very easy to walk to deck 5 for dinner, etc. We were delayed until Tues. so we had 3 full days on the ship and we were rocking! Many sick folks. But the weather was great..sunny and hot the entire time. We never hit bad weather as Bertha hit Mon. afternoon. We got in about 6:30 on Tues. (the pilot boarded the ship right outside our window!) and the weather in Bermuda was perfect for the two days. Hamilton turned out to be great as we were the only ship there and no one was in St. Georges until late afternoon on Tues. when the Dream came in so we had St. Georges to ourselves all day! We left in beautiful weather on Thursday and continued with the rough ride. Friday was the only calm day but by then I think everyone was used to the motion! I'm going to write my own review soon and I want you to know how much I enjoyed your posts!

Radio,

I hope you do, the Sky to the Bahamas is the next one I was looking at, a nice three day get away. Your photos and reports are a wonderful way to start planning and dreaming. You take great pictures, are you a professional photographer? I love the Majesty sign with the sun set. You should enter your photos in a contest if you are an amiture (sp)

Thanks again, Got to go dream again,

Mary:)
