for cruises to Bahamas.
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 with, an excellent 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 convivial 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
and although the highlight of any cruise is the time spent
outside the cabin, cramped quarters can be very uncomfortable.
All cabins have twin beds that convert to queen, color
interactive television, 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 tradtitional 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 Windjammer Cafe, located on Deck 11 serves a breakfast buffet
with fruit pastries, fluffy 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 4
a.m. 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 downright
laughable belly flop competitions in the pool.
For those who over-indulged at the midnight chocolate buffet, don't
worry: 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 time. 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. The boutiques are located here, along with the Steiner-operated
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 e-mail
and Internet access for 50 cents a minute, plus copying and faxing
services.
A Chorus Line Lounge, the two-story main showroom has seating available
for couples and groups. Most passengers have to pass through the
casino to reach A Chorus Line; however the Schooner Bar also leads
to the lounge and can be just as tempting, with mahogany leather
seats, wood and brass tables and large panoramic windows that offer
stunning views of the ocean.
Kids
Majesty has a good children's
program called "Adventure Ocean," for kids from three
(or when toilet trained) through seventeen. 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 the
13-18 set.
Group baby sitting is available from the youth staff from 10 p.m
through 1 a.m. 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.
