Majesty of the Seas Overview
Majesty of the Seas is a clean and comfortable vessel
with some surprisingly contemporary features considering she debuted
in 1992: a modern Internet center, a large casino, a children's program
complete with a teen disco, and two saltwater pools with Jacuzzis.
If the ship shows her age anywhere, it's in the cabins. Inside cabins
are small by industry standards; a larger cabin is worth the extra
splurge if space is an issue, but don't be surprised to find signs
of age - stained upholstery, broken tile - even in the higher cabin
categories. Overall, Majesty of the Seas is a great value
- food, service and a fun atmosphere compensate for any discrepancies
in accommodations.
Cabins
There are 732 oceanview cabins, 62 with a
balcony, and if space is an important amenity, grab one! The inside
cabins below category D are small for industry standards. All cabins
have twin beds that convert to queen, color interactive TV's, hairdryer,
in-room controlled a/c, radio and telephone. There are four wheelchair
accessible staterooms available.
Dining
Majesty's two dining rooms -- Mikado
and Maytime -- serve dinner in a traditional two-seating
program. The dining staff is friendly and attentive, and the food
is good with a changing theme each night, including seafood, steak,
pasta, vegetarian and low-fat choices. The WindjammerCafe, located on Deck 11 serves
a breakfast buffet with fruit pastries, cheese omelets, pancakes and
crisp bacon -- a great alternative to room service, which offers a
disappointing selection of juice, rolls and cereal. The Cafe
is open until 4am for late-night snacks.
Entertainment
The best nightlife can be found in the Viking Crown Lounge,
which encircles the smokestacks 14 decks above the water and offers
pre-dinner drink specials and late-night karaoke and dancing. Blue
Skies Lounge is open 24 hours a day for coffee, and the Paint
Your Wagon Lounge offers some fun disco nights.
Fitness & Recreation
A variety of cruise activities are
offered during the day, from the standard Bingo to belly flop competitions
in the pool.
For those who over-indulged at the midnight chocolate buffet,
the ShipShape Fitness Center on Deck 10
is complete with recumbent Life cycles, stair steppers and treadmills.
Personal training sessions, yoga and Kickboxing classes are also offered,
check the Daily Compass for times. An open-air basketball
court is located on the sports area on Deck 11.
Public Areas
The Centrum atrium
is the heart of the ship. You will find a few boutiques, the Spa,
which offers everything from a standard haircut to full-body seaweed
wraps, and the Casino Royale, featuring slot machines,
video poker, blackjack, American roulette, craps and Caribbean Stud
Poker. The Internet center overlooks the atrium on
Deck 4 and offers email and Internet access for 50
cents a minute, plus copying and faxing services.
AChorus Line Lounge, the
two-story main showroom, has seating available for couples and groups.
Kids
Majesty has a good children's program
called "Adventure Ocean," for kids from
3 (or when toilet trained) to 17. The children are broken up into
four age groups: Aquanauts (3-5), Explorers
(6-8), Voyagers (9-12), and Navigators
(13-17). A teen disco is popular with 13-18 year olds.
Group baby sitting is available from 10pm - 1am nightly, and,
on port days, from noon till departure. The rate is $4 per hour per
child (who must be at least three years old and potty-trained). In-cabin
sitting is available through the purser's desk and must be booked
at least 24 hours in advance, based on availability. Minimum age is
one year; the charge is $8 per hour, in cash, for up to two children
within the same family, $10 per hour for a maximum of three children
in the same family.
RCI will not accept pregnant guests in their third trimester.
