Majesty of the Seas

[meanmary]

We just booked a 4 day cruise on the Majesty for July 5th. I have never been on this size ship and would like any info on it. We have an oceanview room on deck 9. I will be just 2 weeks from having surgery so hope all is healed by that time.

 

Thanks.

HI Mary and Gary,

 

I have been on the Majesty of the Seas 18 times and we are booked for 2 more in June. She is our very favorite ship. I am very knowledgeable about the entire ship and the cruise, so let me know what type of info you're looking for. Look below and you'll see my link to my Majesty pictures. Check those out.

 

I guess I'll just go ahead and post info that I've done quite often here. Hope some of it helps. If I left anything out, just ask!

 

 

Hi Guys, I am re-posting this information for anyone who might like to read it or use it. Unfortunately my thread was deleted but here it is again...

 

CABINS

Yes they do have hair dryers in the cabins. The cabins are quite small but not impossible. There are very well appointed and comfortable.

 

My family and I have stayed on Deck 4 many, many times and have found it to be our favorite Deck due to the location as well as the Crew there. Deck 6 is a really good deck, also. Once you're out by the elevators, there are a couple stairs leading right into the Boutiques of Centrum, Casino, etc. on Deck 5. One more down is the Main Deck where you'll find the Purser's and Shore Excursion Desk.

 

We have stayed in the Owner's Suite twice on the Majesty--which is "A", I think. B's are very nice, also. We were in 1032 and 1034 this past January and they were really big and have just been re-done, i.e. new carpeting, couches, bedspreads, etc. If anyone has room 1520, Bill Cosby stayed in this room when the Majesty was brand-new!

 

KEY WEST

The Conch Train Tour is a good choice. We always stop at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, Sloppy Joe's, and Rick's Cafe. On the way back we stop at Mallory Square, then to get a piece of that Frozen Key Lime Pie dipped in Chocolate on a Stick. It is my favorite thing in the world.

 

Also, if you want to eat lunch, there is a really good restaurant right on the water (marina) that not many people know about and it's not crowded at all. Not sure of the name. Once you get off the ship and get into town, you have to go all the way to your left, past Burger King, past Key West Aloe, and you'll see the wraparound deck/walkway to take you to the restaurant. It's excellent.

 

Next time we're going to rent one of those little cars: They're $75 and fit 4 people. Anyway, just walk around--KW is awesome and you'll find a lot of neat stuff.

 

FORMAL NIGHT

Also, Formal Night is Tuesday, while you're in Nassau. You'll be able to get off very early, so you should have plenty of time to get back for dinner. Tuesday Night is also "Dancing Under the Stars" poolside while the captain pulls you out of port at exactly midnight. There also is a Caribbean Market Buffet at midnight on this day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frequently asked Questions/Answers/Tips

 

Q: How is the Food?

A: The food in the dining room is very good…..unless you're extremely picky! We've never had any serious complaints about anything. And we've eaten off those menu's so many times, it's getting old to us! So we try to order different things, sometimes even a cheeseburger, or chicken fingers, which aren't on the menu. Also, know that you can order a Caesar Salad every night if you'd like. There is the "Venetian" theme, that really is Italian Night, where they sing "O Sole Mio" --they have just inserted Caribbean Night back into the agenda, (waiters dance to Hot, Hot, Hot and the Dollar Dance) and other one or two (depending on if you're going 3 or 4 nights) are International and Captain's Gala. There is NO lobster served on the Majesty, but the filet mignon is awesome.

 

The Windjammer is good for breakfasts and lunches...you get more if you eat there for Breakfast. The Dining Room sometimes takes long and you get small portions. They have everything in the Windjammer from omlettes to cereal and fruit. For lunch, the Windjammer usually has the same things every day--lunches are better in the Dining Room, and they usually have just one open at a time. Also, on Deck 12, the upper-outdoor part of the Windjammer cafe, is the "Sports Bar/Mast Pizza Bar" Here they serve pizza, and sometimes hot dogs, french fries, cookies and sandwiches, almost 24 hours a day. Usually from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., then again from 7-3a.m. The pizza is awesome.

 

Dining:

There are two Dining Rooms, the Mikado, on Deck 4, right in the centrum, and the Maytime, Deck 3 right in the centrum also. They are basically the same, the food comes faster in the Mikado, but really there is not much of a difference. The first, or "main" seating is at 6:30, the second or "late" seating starts at 8:30 p.m. We always stay in the Maytime because all our friends work in there.

What about a place for teens?

The place for teens is Flashes, the teen nightclub onboard. It is on Deck 11 near the back of the ship, in front of the basketball court. My sister goes there all the time (she is 17) and usually meets nice people. They always have lots going on there, pizza parties, scavenger hunts, dancing, etc. Tell him to look on the Cruise Compass to find out the times.

 

Holidays?

The New Year's festivities will be fun...they have parties in every area of the ship and complimentary champagne, also. Everyone gets real dressed up and it's a lot of fun, we were onboard for New years last year. Regarding the wave runners, I know you can rent them in Nassau, but I'm not sure where. When you first get onboard, you'll embark onto Deck 4, the Main Deck. The Shore Excursion desk is directly to your right, so although it may not be open right away, stop and gets some brochures and they may tell you.

 

What time can we get on and off the ship?

You should be able to get on the ship starting at 11:30 a.m. If you get there earlier, you'll be able to go up and sit in a big room with other passengers before they'll start and allow you to go through security. make sure you have all your documents and tickets filled out, and have your ID and passport out always. Lunch in the Windjammer Cafe on Deck 11 will start at noon, don't miss it, it's the best lunch for the cruise! You will get all the forms with your cruise documents. It is not necessary to do it online, in fact it may be more complicated. There is the Bahamas Immigration form for each person, sign the cruise ticket, and there will be one more form in the booklet that you'll need to fill out. It will walk you through everything. MAKE SURE you receive the Bahamas Immigration--it is important. If you don't get them, call RCI right away and they'll send them. If you don't get them on-time, once you get to the pier and up into the large room, they will be on the far wall on a little ledge. Just fill them out at home before you go, and have them with you once you get to the pier. You'll need them a lot to get through each section, along with your passport or birth cert.& photo ID. Once you arrive at the Pier, they'll guide you upstairs into a large room with other passengers. If you're early, you'll sit and wait for the ship to clear to let you guys on. If it's later, you'll just be in line to get through security. Once you're through, you'll walk into a larger room and wait in another line to get to the desk and they will check you in. They'll ask for a credit card to put everything on that you charge with your blue "SeaPass" card. However, most people don't know this, you CAN pay your bill with cash!! If you want to, tell them that and you'll have to go to the Purser's Desk (same deck as you embark on, 4) and put down 200 dollars to create a cash account. Also at the check-in counter they'll give you your SeaPass card (which is now also your room key). You use this the entire cruise, you don't pay cash for anything on the ship or on CocoCay. Then you go up the escalators, show your card a few times, take a "welcome Aboard" picture, then they'll snap your picture which is a new procedure since 9/11. Then you'll be on the ship, the Main Deck, 4!!!

 

 

If you're going on the 3 nighter, debarkation may take a little longer. If you're on the 4 nighter, you should be off the ship by 7:30 0r 8:00 a.m. They have just recently changed this b/c the crew have not had enough time to get the ship ready for the next group. When the MJ sails into Key West, Immigration is done there so that when you get back to Miami, it doesnt have to be done, so you get off quicker. You need to put your luggage outside your door before midnight on the last night, and be out of your cabin very early the next morning.

 

What is CocoCay like?

CocoCay is just RCI's private island, so there are no casino's there. They are remodeling as we speak, so little colorful huts are being built for shops, etc. But really it's just a beach. There are things to do there like volleyball, wave runners, banana boat rides, and floating mats. These all will be charged to your SeaPass card. The mats are $8 per person. They have a very good barbecue lunch here on the island with hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, etc. Since I have all the Compasses right here, the first tender to CocoCay sails at about 8:30 a.m., and the last tender back to the ship is at 4:45. The Majesty leaves at 5:15 p.m.

 

Top 5 things to bring onboard:

1)Alarm Clock

2)Extra Hangers

3)Bottled Water

4)Something for headaches and for the flu

5)Hand Sanitizer

 

Top 5 things to bring ashore:

1)Camera

2)Bottled Water again (you can fill up in the Windjammer)

3)Your Cruise Card and your Picture ID

4)a Map of the island from the ship

5) CocoCay--towels

 

Activities:

Unfortunately, no "Mr Sexy Legs" contest on the MJ, but they do have Horse races, the Men's International Belly Flop Contest, and Wacky Pool Relay's. Look at the Cruise Compass for days and times, but there is something like that everyday. Each night there is a featured show before dinner, as well as other music and live entertainment going on around the ship. They also have ping pong tournaments, basketball tournaments, ice and fruit-carving demonstrations onboard.

 

 

 

 

 

Royal Caribbean International's M/S Majesty of the Seas

Sailing 3 and 4-Night Bahamas Cruises from Miami year-round

Back-to-Back New Year's cruises~December 30th, 2002-January 6th, 2003

 

Captain: Olav Soevdnes

CD: Parker Cristan

Itinerary: Nassau, CocoCay……………Nassau, CocoCay, Key West (4-Night)

 

If you don't already know me, my name is Stacy and I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I traveled with my parents (both in their 50's) and my younger sister who is 17. We’ve sailed many times aboard the Majesty, but have done the Enchantment also. Parents have done Grandeur. We always go back mainly because of the Crew, they are great people. We booked these cruises directly through Royal Caribbean--we don't use travel agents, and we booked our air on our own, also. We stayed the Hyatt Regency in downtown Miami, just minutes away from the pier. This time we were in Miami 2 days prior to our cruise, so we were really relaxed by the time we were ready to board.

 

We went over to the pier the following morning December 30th, by Taxi, at around 10:30 a.m. Prior to our cruise, we saw the Majesty on the news for the Norwalk Virus. We heard 80 passengers-however when we boarded, we learned that this number of 80 people that were sick, were also the FAMILIES of the people who were sick. So about 15-20 were actually sick, and they think that was because of people drinking too much, eating too much, and drinking too much eggnog that was all around the ship. You know how some are-if it's "free" they will EAT IT……ALL!!

 

We went into the Crown and Anchor lounge, exclusively for Diamond and Platinum members of RCI's C&A. There were patiently waited until approx. 2:30 until we could board. They kept saying that ship wasn't clear, but actually they were cleaning the ship top to bottom. While in the lounge, we were upgraded from cabins on deck 4, to cabins on deck 5 & 9. Cabins 9568 and 5520, both Oceanview.

 

We boarded from the Gangway on the Main Deck, 4, as we have so many times before, and were onboard our favorite ship ever-parents went to the Purser's Desk to activate our SeaPass cards with a cash account, and my sister and I ran to find our friend on Deck 4, Ito.

 

Soon, we had found most of our friends on the ship and began our vacation. Ate lunch in the traditional Windjammer Café, everything was very neat, clean, and just as we left it. Usually there is a waiter ready to hand you your tray, complete with the plate and the silverware rolled-up in a napkin. However, due to the Norwalk Virus, they are cutting back on as much touching as possible, so this time, there was no waiter present. After lunch, we changed our seating arrangement to a table for 4 in the Mikado, and unpacked. We met our cabin steward, Stanley, and waited for the Bon Voyage Party by the pool. We did go, however, but the wind was so bad and it was getting pretty cold, so we left early, just as soon as we watched the beautiful beaches of Miami go by (by the way, the Brilliance of the Seas departed just prior to us…she is awesome!)

 

I will summarize the rest of the cruise/s by dividing them into categories, starting with…

 

Dining/Service

 

As always, the service in both Dining Rooms was excellent. The first seating starts at 6:15 p.m. Second at 8:30 p.m. We had second-seating. The first cruise (4-night New Year's) we sat near the galley at our usual special-made table for 4 in the Mikado Dining Room. Our headwaiter was Jacob Biton (Israel), Waiter was Brent Sanders (South Africa) and Asst. Waiter was Joao (pronounced Jo-ow) from India. They were all excellent. The first night was casual, the Venetian Dinner theme, singing O Sole Mio. I highly recommend the Rigatoni-it's my fav. Meal of the cruise. Desert-Tiramisu. Second night was formal (in Nassau), New Year's dinner served. Waiters sang Auld Lang Syne (spelling?). Third night was semi-formal, (at sea due to missing CocoCay) Caribbean Colors was the dinner theme, but no singing waiters. Fourth and Final night was casual, Feast of Nations was the Dinner Theme. Waiters sang "Hands Across the Sea."

 

As for things changing because of the Norwalk Virus, salt, pepper and butter are no longer at your table. Neither are the breadbaskets, napkins on the plates, and the flowers-all gone. Your assistant waiter will come around and hand out bread/rolls. All crewmembers and staff are also discouraged to shake hands, amongst themselves as well as with passengers. Before the waiters sing the first night, there will be an announcement (same as what you'll see in the Cruise Compass) about the Hands-Washing procedure.

 

For the second cruise, we switched to the Maytime Dining Room on Deck 3 to have our friend, Eduardo from Peru, as our waiter--Aslan from Turkey as our headwaiter, and Ivo from Bulgaria as our asst. waiter. Other friends who were working down there: Erdal, Laura, Deyria, Francisco, Lloyd, Murat, Mirze, Mustafa (3 of them), Tunay, and Dwi are all friends…and excellent waiters and waitresses! Everything was excellent down here, also, we had a great time!

 

This 3-night cruise resulted in 80% of the waiters and cabin stewards not receiving anything from their passengers in the form of a tip. Most tables were empty. The table next to us was waited on by a friend, they crumpled up 3 envelopes, threw them on the table, and left. The headwaiter proceeded to open them, finding $1 inside each envelope. How…kind and generous of these classy, considerate people! I would've run after them and just gave them back their "nice tip." Just want to make everyone aware of how much these people are put through on a daily basis. Working extremely hard (some for more than 15 hours a day), only to receive nothing in thanks.

 

Our Cabin Stewards this time were Stanley on Deck 5 (excellent!!), Ito on Deck 4 (for a while before we were upgraded to the Owner's Suite on Deck 10) and in Cabin 1510, next to the Bridge was Alberto who was also excellent. Other friends are Junior (deck 6) and Fernando (Deck 7). The Owner's Suite was huge and we'd never had this type of a room before. We awoke most mornings to see Captain Olav Soevdnes pulling us into Port with a tip of his hat and a "Good Morning, Ladies!" This cabin was truly special with a very large Veranda that we spent a lot of time on.

 

Ports of Call: Nassau, CocoCay, and Key West, FL

 

We went to each place twice since we did back-to-back's and Nassau days are always Tuesday's and Saturday's. Every single time we dock there, my family and I go to the British Colonial Hilton, that large, pretty, yellow building just across the water. We swim at the pool and enjoy the beach, enjoy a little shopping and maybe stop at the Haagen Dazs ice cream store, then we make our way back to the ship. We don't ever do excursions since we've been to each place so often, we like to just relax on our cruise. We missed CocoCay the first time due to wind, but the second time we made it. CocoCay days are Wednesday's and Sunday's. We didn't grab a tender and go over there this time, we wanted the pool to ourselves. J My father went over to the island on the 3-night cruise, and reported to us that they have made incredible improvements on the island. Lots of new buildings, huts, etc-really beautiful. Honestly, I don't care for the beach at CocoCay, I like Labadee much better-it's cleaner, the beach is MUCH better, etc. I only go over if it's with a crewmember to spend the day at the beach. For some of you who don't know much about CocoCay, they serve a Caribbean-style Barbecue lunch complete with hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken. And lots of other stuff!! The Calypso band, Focus, is also on the island serenading CocoCay. Available to rent on your SeaPass card for $8 each are floating mats. There are also Banana Boat Rides, Parasailing, waverunners, and beach volleyball. A truly enjoyable "day at the beach!"

 

Since the 3-nighter does not stop at Key West, we only arrived into port there once, and it is our favorite place to stop on this itinerary! We just shop, have lunch, pass through Mallory Square, and walk to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville for an ice-cold Margarita and a T-shirt. Then back to the ship. We have taken the Conch Train Tour and that was really nice also.

 

EMBARKATION/DEBARKATION

 

Embarkation is usually very speedy, although as I said above, this time it was not due to the sickness onboard. Plan to arrive at the Port of Miami, Pier 5 for the Majesty at about 11 a.m. if you want to get on early. Usually they'll start around 11:30 or 12, depending on how early the ship cleared that morning. You will check-in, receive your SeaPass cards, and after your "Welcome Aboard" photo, you'll be onboard the MJ via the Gangway and ready to start your cruise. The Windjammer serves lunch on Deck 11 starting at noon, and the Muster Drill starts at approx. 4:30 p.m. You must go!!! Afte rthe drill is the Bon Voyage, or Sail Away from Miami party with your Cruise Staff on the pool deck, 11.

 

Leaving the ship may be a bit trickier, but if you're on the 4-nighter, the ship goes through customs in Key West, allowing a smoother debarkation process in Miami. The Majesty pulls back into the Port of Miami usually by 5:30-6:00 a.m. The ship will usually be cleared by 7:00 and they will start calling the Colored Tags to start leaving the ship. You will receive these tags on your last night, along with your Guest Satisfaction Survey, your SeaPass account, and your tip envelopes. Make sure you fill out this questionnaire and drop it in one of the blue boxes located on Deck 4…they really matter and the staff and crew do get recognized if you put their names down! Anyway, you need to be out of your stateroom by 8:00 a.m., earlier if possible, and are welcomed to wait in any public lounge, except anywhere on the Main Deck!! Going there will only push back the debarkation process. If all goes well, you should be off the ship by 8:30 or 9:00.

 

THE SHIP

 

The Majesty, I believe, is truly a special and beautiful ship. Always sparkling and clean, there aren't many signs of wear except for in the cabin areas. The Crew keeps the ship immaculate, even though the turnaround is amazing. They take on 5, 548 passengers every 7 days…year-round! The main points of the Ship:

*The Casino Royale on Deck 5, Centrum

*Shops of the Centrum, Deck 5

*A Chorus Line Lounge, Deck 5, aft

*Schooner Bar, Deck 5, centrum

*A Touch of Class Champagne Bar, Blue Skies Lounge, Library and Card Rooms--Deck 7, Centrum

*Promenade Deck/jogging track, Deck 7

*Open-air basketball Court, Deck 12, aft

*Flashes, the teen nightclub, Deck 11

*On Your Toes Disco, Deck 9, aft

*ShipShape Center and Spa, Deck 10, aft

*Cinema, Deck 2

*Main Deck-4, Purser's and Shore Excursion Desks

*Paint Your Wagon Lounge, Deck 8

 

 

 

FINAL COMMENTS

 

I honestly believe that RCI has a very special staff/crew onboard the Majesty of the Seas, and they believe it also!! Everyone working onboard says how much they like working together, and that out of all the ships they've worked on, the Majesty is the best. We always have the time of our lives, no matter what minor inconveniences we fall upon. I believe a vacation is what you make of it, and if you didn't have a ball on this ship, you won't anywhere!! We are scheduled for our 15th and 16th sailings on the Majesty of the Seas in 15 days, a 4-nighter for by Birthday, January 27th. I can't wait to be back on my favorite ship, and experience RCI and the Majesty's world-class vacation experience one more time…but certainly not the last! If I forgot anything or if you have specific questions, post or e-mail and I will be happy to answer them.

Stacy,

Hi, I am sailing on July 12th with my two daughters 14 and 10 do you think they will enjoy this ship?

P.S. I love Key Lime Pie and having it frozen and dipped in choclate sounds awesome.

[LuckiStac13*Majesty*]

Hi Elaine,

 

They will love it unless they're really difficult to please. My younger sister went on her first cruise on the MJ when she was 12. I was 17. She liked the Adventure Ocean program a lot and met nice kids her age.

 

Even if they DON'T want to participate in that (I never have), there are plenty of other things to do. There's a Rock Climbing Wall, ping pong tables, shuffleboard, a basketball court (1/2 court), a few video games, and a CInema on Deck 2. Plus there are two outdoor pools and 2 whirlpool's on Deck 11. They'll have a great time!

 

Oh, and definitely try that Key Lime Pie, it's excellent

[want2seaitall]

The search feature has actually been working lately...a bunch of us cruisecritic members sailed on her different dates during the months of April...put in Majesty review...and you should get a couple that come up. I don't want to speak for everyone...but I remember we were all in agreement that it was a great cruise. The ship is beautiful...smaller...but more intimate...which makes for better service...the ports are a lot of fun...the cabins are small but a lot of thought went into their design...every knook and cranny is set up for maximum use. The food in the dining room and Windjammer (casual) is wonderful. Have a wonderful time!!!

LuckiStac13, I am absolutely amazed. 18 times on the same ship! I have been on the Majesty once and loved it. And Caviargal, 10 times. What would you each say is the main attraction? (I don't mean that in an antagonistic way, just really curious.)

[GrannyJ]

Stacy, you mentioned a waiter named Ivo. We had a wonderful waiter named Ivo on a cruise out of Port Canaveral (Premier, maybe?) several years ago and then I ran into him in Las Vegas a couple of years later. I hope it's the same one as he was the highlight of the cruise -- great personality and funnier than the comedian on board. We'll be on the Majesty in a couple of weeks and I'll have to check to see if it's the same Ivo.

[berd0625]

I was on the Majesty last year with my then 13 yr old DD (and Stacy too!) My daughter had a wonderful time in the Ocean Adventure group. It was nice to know she was safely enjoying herself while I had time to do adult stuff (blackjack anyone?). We were also on 9, and thought it was the best location outside of having a balcony. The cabins are substantially larger than the insides or lower outsides. Try to use the elevators in the back near the disco whenever possible. We jet skied in Coco Cay which was great fun. We went parasailing in Key West - not thru the ship- and would do it again in a minute.If you have any other questions especially about the kids stuff let me know. Stacy has got everything else well covered.

STACY,

Small world, I am from Westlake, Ohio and saw that you are from North Royalton! My family and I are going on Majesty 4 day on 6/21/04. It is my mom's 75th birthday, and my 3 other brothers and my girlfriend are meeting at mom's house in Boynton Beach, FL (south of W.Palm) and taking an airport limo to Port of Miami.

 

Any recommendations as to excursions on Key West and Nassau? Have a great summer!

HI Mary and Gary,

 

I have been on the Majesty of the Seas 18 times and we are booked for 2 more in June. She is our very favorite ship. I am very knowledgeable about the entire ship and the cruise, so let me know what type of info you're looking for. Look below and you'll see my link to my Majesty pictures. Check those out.

 

I guess I'll just go ahead and post info that I've done quite often here. Hope some of it helps. If I left anything out, just ask!

 

 

Hi Guys, I am re-posting this information for anyone who might like to read it or use it. Unfortunately my thread was deleted but here it is again...

 

CABINS

Yes they do have hair dryers in the cabins. The cabins are quite small but not impossible. There are very well appointed and comfortable.

 

My family and I have stayed on Deck 4 many, many times and have found it to be our favorite Deck due to the location as well as the Crew there. Deck 6 is a really good deck, also. Once you're out by the elevators, there are a couple stairs leading right into the Boutiques of Centrum, Casino, etc. on Deck 5. One more down is the Main Deck where you'll find the Purser's and Shore Excursion Desk.

 

We have stayed in the Owner's Suite twice on the Majesty--which is "A", I think. B's are very nice, also. We were in 1032 and 1034 this past January and they were really big and have just been re-done, i.e. new carpeting, couches, bedspreads, etc. If anyone has room 1520, Bill Cosby stayed in this room when the Majesty was brand-new!

 

KEY WEST

The Conch Train Tour is a good choice. We always stop at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, Sloppy Joe's, and Rick's Cafe. On the way back we stop at Mallory Square, then to get a piece of that Frozen Key Lime Pie dipped in Chocolate on a Stick. It is my favorite thing in the world.

 

Also, if you want to eat lunch, there is a really good restaurant right on the water (marina) that not many people know about and it's not crowded at all. Not sure of the name. Once you get off the ship and get into town, you have to go all the way to your left, past Burger King, past Key West Aloe, and you'll see the wraparound deck/walkway to take you to the restaurant. It's excellent.

 

Next time we're going to rent one of those little cars: They're $75 and fit 4 people. Anyway, just walk around--KW is awesome and you'll find a lot of neat stuff.

 

FORMAL NIGHT

Also, Formal Night is Tuesday, while you're in Nassau. You'll be able to get off very early, so you should have plenty of time to get back for dinner. Tuesday Night is also "Dancing Under the Stars" poolside while the captain pulls you out of port at exactly midnight. There also is a Caribbean Market Buffet at midnight on this day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frequently asked Questions/Answers/Tips

 

Q: How is the Food?

A: The food in the dining room is very good…..unless you're extremely picky! We've never had any serious complaints about anything. And we've eaten off those menu's so many times, it's getting old to us! So we try to order different things, sometimes even a cheeseburger, or chicken fingers, which aren't on the menu. Also, know that you can order a Caesar Salad every night if you'd like. There is the "Venetian" theme, that really is Italian Night, where they sing "O Sole Mio" --they have just inserted Caribbean Night back into the agenda, (waiters dance to Hot, Hot, Hot and the Dollar Dance) and other one or two (depending on if you're going 3 or 4 nights) are International and Captain's Gala. There is NO lobster served on the Majesty, but the filet mignon is awesome.

 

The Windjammer is good for breakfasts and lunches...you get more if you eat there for Breakfast. The Dining Room sometimes takes long and you get small portions. They have everything in the Windjammer from omlettes to cereal and fruit. For lunch, the Windjammer usually has the same things every day--lunches are better in the Dining Room, and they usually have just one open at a time. Also, on Deck 12, the upper-outdoor part of the Windjammer cafe, is the "Sports Bar/Mast Pizza Bar" Here they serve pizza, and sometimes hot dogs, french fries, cookies and sandwiches, almost 24 hours a day. Usually from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., then again from 7-3a.m. The pizza is awesome.

 

Dining:

There are two Dining Rooms, the Mikado, on Deck 4, right in the centrum, and the Maytime, Deck 3 right in the centrum also. They are basically the same, the food comes faster in the Mikado, but really there is not much of a difference. The first, or "main" seating is at 6:30, the second or "late" seating starts at 8:30 p.m. We always stay in the Maytime because all our friends work in there.

What about a place for teens?

The place for teens is Flashes, the teen nightclub onboard. It is on Deck 11 near the back of the ship, in front of the basketball court. My sister goes there all the time (she is 17) and usually meets nice people. They always have lots going on there, pizza parties, scavenger hunts, dancing, etc. Tell him to look on the Cruise Compass to find out the times.

 

Holidays?

The New Year's festivities will be fun...they have parties in every area of the ship and complimentary champagne, also. Everyone gets real dressed up and it's a lot of fun, we were onboard for New years last year. Regarding the wave runners, I know you can rent them in Nassau, but I'm not sure where. When you first get onboard, you'll embark onto Deck 4, the Main Deck. The Shore Excursion desk is directly to your right, so although it may not be open right away, stop and gets some brochures and they may tell you.

 

What time can we get on and off the ship?

You should be able to get on the ship starting at 11:30 a.m. If you get there earlier, you'll be able to go up and sit in a big room with other passengers before they'll start and allow you to go through security. make sure you have all your documents and tickets filled out, and have your ID and passport out always. Lunch in the Windjammer Cafe on Deck 11 will start at noon, don't miss it, it's the best lunch for the cruise! You will get all the forms with your cruise documents. It is not necessary to do it online, in fact it may be more complicated. There is the Bahamas Immigration form for each person, sign the cruise ticket, and there will be one more form in the booklet that you'll need to fill out. It will walk you through everything. MAKE SURE you receive the Bahamas Immigration--it is important. If you don't get them, call RCI right away and they'll send them. If you don't get them on-time, once you get to the pier and up into the large room, they will be on the far wall on a little ledge. Just fill them out at home before you go, and have them with you once you get to the pier. You'll need them a lot to get through each section, along with your passport or birth cert.& photo ID. Once you arrive at the Pier, they'll guide you upstairs into a large room with other passengers. If you're early, you'll sit and wait for the ship to clear to let you guys on. If it's later, you'll just be in line to get through security. Once you're through, you'll walk into a larger room and wait in another line to get to the desk and they will check you in. They'll ask for a credit card to put everything on that you charge with your blue "SeaPass" card. However, most people don't know this, you CAN pay your bill with cash!! If you want to, tell them that and you'll have to go to the Purser's Desk (same deck as you embark on, 4) and put down 200 dollars to create a cash account. Also at the check-in counter they'll give you your SeaPass card (which is now also your room key). You use this the entire cruise, you don't pay cash for anything on the ship or on CocoCay. Then you go up the escalators, show your card a few times, take a "welcome Aboard" picture, then they'll snap your picture which is a new procedure since 9/11. Then you'll be on the ship, the Main Deck, 4!!!

 

 

If you're going on the 3 nighter, debarkation may take a little longer. If you're on the 4 nighter, you should be off the ship by 7:30 0r 8:00 a.m. They have just recently changed this b/c the crew have not had enough time to get the ship ready for the next group. When the MJ sails into Key West, Immigration is done there so that when you get back to Miami, it doesnt have to be done, so you get off quicker. You need to put your luggage outside your door before midnight on the last night, and be out of your cabin very early the next morning.

 

What is CocoCay like?

CocoCay is just RCI's private island, so there are no casino's there. They are remodeling as we speak, so little colorful huts are being built for shops, etc. But really it's just a beach. There are things to do there like volleyball, wave runners, banana boat rides, and floating mats. These all will be charged to your SeaPass card. The mats are $8 per person. They have a very good barbecue lunch here on the island with hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, etc. Since I have all the Compasses right here, the first tender to CocoCay sails at about 8:30 a.m., and the last tender back to the ship is at 4:45. The Majesty leaves at 5:15 p.m.

 

Top 5 things to bring onboard:

1)Alarm Clock

2)Extra Hangers

3)Bottled Water

4)Something for headaches and for the flu

5)Hand Sanitizer

 

Top 5 things to bring ashore:

1)Camera

2)Bottled Water again (you can fill up in the Windjammer)

3)Your Cruise Card and your Picture ID

4)a Map of the island from the ship

5) CocoCay--towels

 

Activities:

Unfortunately, no "Mr Sexy Legs" contest on the MJ, but they do have Horse races, the Men's International Belly Flop Contest, and Wacky Pool Relay's. Look at the Cruise Compass for days and times, but there is something like that everyday. Each night there is a featured show before dinner, as well as other music and live entertainment going on around the ship. They also have ping pong tournaments, basketball tournaments, ice and fruit-carving demonstrations onboard.

 

 

 

 

 

Royal Caribbean International's M/S Majesty of the Seas

Sailing 3 and 4-Night Bahamas Cruises from Miami year-round

Back-to-Back New Year's cruises~December 30th, 2002-January 6th, 2003

 

Captain: Olav Soevdnes

CD: Parker Cristan

Itinerary: Nassau, CocoCay……………Nassau, CocoCay, Key West (4-Night)

 

If you don't already know me, my name is Stacy and I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I traveled with my parents (both in their 50's) and my younger sister who is 17. We’ve sailed many times aboard the Majesty, but have done the Enchantment also. Parents have done Grandeur. We always go back mainly because of the Crew, they are great people. We booked these cruises directly through Royal Caribbean--we don't use travel agents, and we booked our air on our own, also. We stayed the Hyatt Regency in downtown Miami, just minutes away from the pier. This time we were in Miami 2 days prior to our cruise, so we were really relaxed by the time we were ready to board.

 

We went over to the pier the following morning December 30th, by Taxi, at around 10:30 a.m. Prior to our cruise, we saw the Majesty on the news for the Norwalk Virus. We heard 80 passengers-however when we boarded, we learned that this number of 80 people that were sick, were also the FAMILIES of the people who were sick. So about 15-20 were actually sick, and they think that was because of people drinking too much, eating too much, and drinking too much eggnog that was all around the ship. You know how some are-if it's "free" they will EAT IT……ALL!!

 

We went into the Crown and Anchor lounge, exclusively for Diamond and Platinum members of RCI's C&A. There were patiently waited until approx. 2:30 until we could board. They kept saying that ship wasn't clear, but actually they were cleaning the ship top to bottom. While in the lounge, we were upgraded from cabins on deck 4, to cabins on deck 5 & 9. Cabins 9568 and 5520, both Oceanview.

 

We boarded from the Gangway on the Main Deck, 4, as we have so many times before, and were onboard our favorite ship ever-parents went to the Purser's Desk to activate our SeaPass cards with a cash account, and my sister and I ran to find our friend on Deck 4, Ito.

 

Soon, we had found most of our friends on the ship and began our vacation. Ate lunch in the traditional Windjammer Café, everything was very neat, clean, and just as we left it. Usually there is a waiter ready to hand you your tray, complete with the plate and the silverware rolled-up in a napkin. However, due to the Norwalk Virus, they are cutting back on as much touching as possible, so this time, there was no waiter present. After lunch, we changed our seating arrangement to a table for 4 in the Mikado, and unpacked. We met our cabin steward, Stanley, and waited for the Bon Voyage Party by the pool. We did go, however, but the wind was so bad and it was getting pretty cold, so we left early, just as soon as we watched the beautiful beaches of Miami go by (by the way, the Brilliance of the Seas departed just prior to us…she is awesome!)

 

I will summarize the rest of the cruise/s by dividing them into categories, starting with…

 

Dining/Service

 

As always, the service in both Dining Rooms was excellent. The first seating starts at 6:15 p.m. Second at 8:30 p.m. We had second-seating. The first cruise (4-night New Year's) we sat near the galley at our usual special-made table for 4 in the Mikado Dining Room. Our headwaiter was Jacob Biton (Israel), Waiter was Brent Sanders (South Africa) and Asst. Waiter was Joao (pronounced Jo-ow) from India. They were all excellent. The first night was casual, the Venetian Dinner theme, singing O Sole Mio. I highly recommend the Rigatoni-it's my fav. Meal of the cruise. Desert-Tiramisu. Second night was formal (in Nassau), New Year's dinner served. Waiters sang Auld Lang Syne (spelling?). Third night was semi-formal, (at sea due to missing CocoCay) Caribbean Colors was the dinner theme, but no singing waiters. Fourth and Final night was casual, Feast of Nations was the Dinner Theme. Waiters sang "Hands Across the Sea."

 

As for things changing because of the Norwalk Virus, salt, pepper and butter are no longer at your table. Neither are the breadbaskets, napkins on the plates, and the flowers-all gone. Your assistant waiter will come around and hand out bread/rolls. All crewmembers and staff are also discouraged to shake hands, amongst themselves as well as with passengers. Before the waiters sing the first night, there will be an announcement (same as what you'll see in the Cruise Compass) about the Hands-Washing procedure.

 

For the second cruise, we switched to the Maytime Dining Room on Deck 3 to have our friend, Eduardo from Peru, as our waiter--Aslan from Turkey as our headwaiter, and Ivo from Bulgaria as our asst. waiter. Other friends who were working down there: Erdal, Laura, Deyria, Francisco, Lloyd, Murat, Mirze, Mustafa (3 of them), Tunay, and Dwi are all friends…and excellent waiters and waitresses! Everything was excellent down here, also, we had a great time!

 

This 3-night cruise resulted in 80% of the waiters and cabin stewards not receiving anything from their passengers in the form of a tip. Most tables were empty. The table next to us was waited on by a friend, they crumpled up 3 envelopes, threw them on the table, and left. The headwaiter proceeded to open them, finding $1 inside each envelope. How…kind and generous of these classy, considerate people! I would've run after them and just gave them back their "nice tip." Just want to make everyone aware of how much these people are put through on a daily basis. Working extremely hard (some for more than 15 hours a day), only to receive nothing in thanks.

 

Our Cabin Stewards this time were Stanley on Deck 5 (excellent!!), Ito on Deck 4 (for a while before we were upgraded to the Owner's Suite on Deck 10) and in Cabin 1510, next to the Bridge was Alberto who was also excellent. Other friends are Junior (deck 6) and Fernando (Deck 7). The Owner's Suite was huge and we'd never had this type of a room before. We awoke most mornings to see Captain Olav Soevdnes pulling us into Port with a tip of his hat and a "Good Morning, Ladies!" This cabin was truly special with a very large Veranda that we spent a lot of time on.

 

Ports of Call: Nassau, CocoCay, and Key West, FL

 

We went to each place twice since we did back-to-back's and Nassau days are always Tuesday's and Saturday's. Every single time we dock there, my family and I go to the British Colonial Hilton, that large, pretty, yellow building just across the water. We swim at the pool and enjoy the beach, enjoy a little shopping and maybe stop at the Haagen Dazs ice cream store, then we make our way back to the ship. We don't ever do excursions since we've been to each place so often, we like to just relax on our cruise. We missed CocoCay the first time due to wind, but the second time we made it. CocoCay days are Wednesday's and Sunday's. We didn't grab a tender and go over there this time, we wanted the pool to ourselves. J My father went over to the island on the 3-night cruise, and reported to us that they have made incredible improvements on the island. Lots of new buildings, huts, etc-really beautiful. Honestly, I don't care for the beach at CocoCay, I like Labadee much better-it's cleaner, the beach is MUCH better, etc. I only go over if it's with a crewmember to spend the day at the beach. For some of you who don't know much about CocoCay, they serve a Caribbean-style Barbecue lunch complete with hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken. And lots of other stuff!! The Calypso band, Focus, is also on the island serenading CocoCay. Available to rent on your SeaPass card for $8 each are floating mats. There are also Banana Boat Rides, Parasailing, waverunners, and beach volleyball. A truly enjoyable "day at the beach!"

 

Since the 3-nighter does not stop at Key West, we only arrived into port there once, and it is our favorite place to stop on this itinerary! We just shop, have lunch, pass through Mallory Square, and walk to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville for an ice-cold Margarita and a T-shirt. Then back to the ship. We have taken the Conch Train Tour and that was really nice also.

 

EMBARKATION/DEBARKATION

 

Embarkation is usually very speedy, although as I said above, this time it was not due to the sickness onboard. Plan to arrive at the Port of Miami, Pier 5 for the Majesty at about 11 a.m. if you want to get on early. Usually they'll start around 11:30 or 12, depending on how early the ship cleared that morning. You will check-in, receive your SeaPass cards, and after your "Welcome Aboard" photo, you'll be onboard the MJ via the Gangway and ready to start your cruise. The Windjammer serves lunch on Deck 11 starting at noon, and the Muster Drill starts at approx. 4:30 p.m. You must go!!! Afte rthe drill is the Bon Voyage, or Sail Away from Miami party with your Cruise Staff on the pool deck, 11.

 

Leaving the ship may be a bit trickier, but if you're on the 4-nighter, the ship goes through customs in Key West, allowing a smoother debarkation process in Miami. The Majesty pulls back into the Port of Miami usually by 5:30-6:00 a.m. The ship will usually be cleared by 7:00 and they will start calling the Colored Tags to start leaving the ship. You will receive these tags on your last night, along with your Guest Satisfaction Survey, your SeaPass account, and your tip envelopes. Make sure you fill out this questionnaire and drop it in one of the blue boxes located on Deck 4…they really matter and the staff and crew do get recognized if you put their names down! Anyway, you need to be out of your stateroom by 8:00 a.m., earlier if possible, and are welcomed to wait in any public lounge, except anywhere on the Main Deck!! Going there will only push back the debarkation process. If all goes well, you should be off the ship by 8:30 or 9:00.

 

THE SHIP

 

The Majesty, I believe, is truly a special and beautiful ship. Always sparkling and clean, there aren't many signs of wear except for in the cabin areas. The Crew keeps the ship immaculate, even though the turnaround is amazing. They take on 5, 548 passengers every 7 days…year-round! The main points of the Ship:

*The Casino Royale on Deck 5, Centrum

*Shops of the Centrum, Deck 5

*A Chorus Line Lounge, Deck 5, aft

*Schooner Bar, Deck 5, centrum

*A Touch of Class Champagne Bar, Blue Skies Lounge, Library and Card Rooms--Deck 7, Centrum

*Promenade Deck/jogging track, Deck 7

*Open-air basketball Court, Deck 12, aft

*Flashes, the teen nightclub, Deck 11

*On Your Toes Disco, Deck 9, aft

*ShipShape Center and Spa, Deck 10, aft

*Cinema, Deck 2

*Main Deck-4, Purser's and Shore Excursion Desks

*Paint Your Wagon Lounge, Deck 8

 

 

 

FINAL COMMENTS

 

I honestly believe that RCI has a very special staff/crew onboard the Majesty of the Seas, and they believe it also!! Everyone working onboard says how much they like working together, and that out of all the ships they've worked on, the Majesty is the best. We always have the time of our lives, no matter what minor inconveniences we fall upon. I believe a vacation is what you make of it, and if you didn't have a ball on this ship, you won't anywhere!! We are scheduled for our 15th and 16th sailings on the Majesty of the Seas in 15 days, a 4-nighter for by Birthday, January 27th. I can't wait to be back on my favorite ship, and experience RCI and the Majesty's world-class vacation experience one more time…but certainly not the last! If I forgot anything or if you have specific questions, post or e-mail and I will be happy to answer them.

Frank, did you notice that I'll be on the same cruise as you? We're doing back-to-back, so we'll be on for the 3-nighter before that.

 

We don't do many excursions...in Nassau we go to the British Colonial Hilton for the pool and the beach. Otherwise we just walk around. But you could get a taxi and take a tour of the island!? Or the Thriller Power Boat is good, too.

 

Key West is best to just walk...you'll find so many interesting things. I would suggest taking the Trolley Tour first, then you see the Island and what you'd like to do.

 

Jemingway:

 

My main attraction is different from others since I've been there so much, have many dear friends onboard, and am soused to the things that many love each cruise.

 

I spend most of my time with my friends who work on the ship. Otherwise I am always by the pool! The Dining Room for dinner is my family's favorite part of the cruise. 2nd favorite is the stop at Key West. CocoCay can also be awesome, there's lots to do there and it's always sooo hot!

 

Granny J...

 

I believe I have a picture of Ivo on my page, if you click on the link below my signature. If it's not there, I'll send one to you personally. I haven't seen Ivo in a very long time, I think he may have switched ships. He is from Bulgaria and has short, black, kind of curly or wavy hair. I know he once told me he worked with another cruise line.....

 

Interesting...

 

Any more questions??

[meanmary]

Thanks for all your replies. We have been on the mega ships and our first cruise ever was on the Nordic Empress. We have been on the Radiance class also, so we had no idea what to expect on the Majesty. Your information is appreciated.

 

Im looking forward to the cruise cause it will be just my husband and me for a change instead of the whole family.

Stacy,

 

We will be on deck 9, superior oceanview room. Any comments on this type cabin? Have only been on Celebrity so far, so no comparisons.

 

So how do you get to go on 18 cruises at such a young age? Have a family member in the travel biz? I am so very jealous! Loved cruising since my first 8 years ago. Could go on one every month, if I had the cash. Almost started a franchise of CRUISES.INC here in Cleveland, but didnt have the capital to invest.

 

What deck is your family on? We should do a cruisecritic meet and greet on 6/21. Met 2 couples that way on cruisemates 2 yrs ago. Nice people too.

 

Only 5 weeks to go....

Frank and Staci,

I'll be on the 6/21 cruise also - with my husband, 3 children-ages 22, 17 and 14.

Staci, you mentioned going to the BC Hilton on Nassau - sounds like it could be a good alternative for us. Do you need to make a reservation there to use the facilities?

Hi, Stacy and Alberta, and everyone else, too.

The Majesty is a really nice ship and I think you will enjoy it. I've only been on her once (last summer with Alberta and her daughter, Stacy and some other CCers, along with my two sons), but my dh and I are doing the 3 nighter this January for our anniversary. It'll be kinda cool showing him around as he didn't get to go with us last time!

I wasn't really impressed with Nassu, but KW is probably my favorite port of call, especially for the key lime pie on a stick. botbyl54, my boys were 15 and 11 last summer and they enjoyed this cruise. My oldest really loved KW. We went snorkeling with Stuart Cove in Nassau and they were astounded by all we saw. Have an awesome time!
