Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review

Majesty of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's most popular ships, and it's easy to see why. The four-night Bahamas cruises aboard this ship start at $199 per person, cheaper than most Royal Caribbean cruises. According to Royal Caribbean cruise reviews, the ship caters to all ages with a full menu of entertainment, adventure, and food options, plus onshore excursions. In Royal Caribbean cruise reviews on Expedia of Majesty of the Seas, customers of all ages rank the ship high for quality of service and overall experience. The staff garners numerous shout-outs from passengers in Royal Caribbean cruise reviews on sites such as Cruise Reviews and Yelp, where writers commend the staff's hard work, attentiveness, and professionalism. The Royal Caribbean cruise line itself also earned a nod in 2011 from Porthole Cruise Magazine for the best megaship, best adventure cruises, best eco-friendly operations, and for offering the best onboard activities.

Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas' capacity is 2,350, putting it in the mega-cruise category, which helps keep costs low. The ship was inaugurated 20 years ago and some Royal Caribbean reviews say it's showing its age (thin walls, weak water pressure, dated decor) but still provides a cheap respite from the daily grind. Majesty of the Seas regularly takes three- and four-night cruises through the Bahamas with stops in Nassau and CocoCay, a private island reserved for Royal Caribbean passengers; some cruises also make a stop at Key West, FL. All trips depart from Miami. Excursions, such as snorkeling and cultural tours on the mainland, can be reserved online up to four days prior to departure.

The bottom line? Sailing with Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas lets you experience a weekend get-away at a bargain price. Unique features like an onboard rock wall and flexible dining (enjoy your evening meal any time during normal dinner hours) help make this a favorite all-ages ship. Above-average service makes frugal travelers eager to cruise again and again.
