Best for first-timers just getting their feet wet with shorter cruises, Majesty of the Seas is an older ship that nonetheless retains its charm after over two decades of cruises, partially helped by ongoing refurbishments and upgrades, and partially owing to the crew's consistent passion for making it the best Royal Caribbean has to offer.

Majesty of the Seas Cruise Ship and 7 Things I Loved

If you’d rather just see what this ship is like, you can check out the video tour below as we went through Majesty of the Seas deck by deck.  The stateroom tour is near the end of the video.

At the time of it’s build in 1992 this was a mega-ship, but at 73,000 gross tons, it is a perfect medium-size ship in today’s world of cruising.

The ship recently went through a dry dock in which it received some maintenance and general upgrades, but in 2007 Majesty of the Seas underwent a multi-million dollar refurbishment that included the addition of a Johnny Rockets, The Compass Deli, Boleros, and some cabin upgrades.

I knew this Sovereign class ship would not have the new amenities that Oasis and Quantum class ships offer from Royal Caribbean, but for a quick getaway on a relaxing cruise, this ship quickly became more like a floating home than hotel.

The main reason I chose this cruise was so I could visit Cuba.  This was only the 3 rd time that Majesty of the Seas had been to Cuba and I wanted to see what a cruise to Havana was all about.  I will be writing an article on my experience in Cuba as well, but for now, I wanted to focus on why I really enjoyed this ship.

Here are 7 things I loved about Majesty of the Seas, and who knows, you might identify with some of these things as well.  We’d love to hear your comments if you have been on this ship before or plan on it in the future.

Very Few Crowds and Lines

No one likes standing in line or fighting through a crowd of people.   With a little over 2,000 passengers, Majesty of the Seas had a very easy embarkation and disembarkation process.  And since the ship is still a decent size for this number of cruise guests, it never felt crowded at the buffet or even on the pool deck.  Of course, it was a bit busy during the belly flop competition on the last sea day, but that’s to be expected.  The only real line I experienced was in Key West when trying to get back on the ship.

Plenty of Places to Lounge

Some cruise just to relax and get away from it all for a while.  There is nothing like finding an empty lounger in the sun, listening to the sounds of the ocean as you shut your eyes and soak in the moment.  On this ship there was an abundance of loungers.  Most were in direct sunlight, but some shade could be found on the lower pool deck as well.  Even though lounge-chair-saving is always an issue, with this many lounge chairs it was not hard to find a place to take a quick cruise nap.  I don’t know about you, but I always sleep better at sea.

Crepes from Compass Deli

Do yourself a favor and try out the crepes on Majesty of the Seas at The Compass Deli.   Check the hours as the deli is only open during certain times of day, but the crepes station is fantastic!  Offering both sweet and savory crepes, I found myself often in this area of the ship.  I only took the stairs during the entire cruise, so I felt like I had earned that right.

Centrum Shops

I’m not a huge shopper when I go on a cruise, but I do browse a bit and find it interesting to see what kinds of deals can be found on a floating vacation.  The Centrum shops on Majesty of the Seas are just in a perfect spot and laid out really nicely.  Latitudes, a coffee shop, is located in this area as well, so you can sip some brew while checking out some Royal Caribbean t-shirts or picking up that sun block you forgot to pack.

There are also a few “sidewalk-sale” type events that go on in this area through the week.  It’s right off the atrium and near the guest relations desk, so again, it’s just a perfect spot if you feel like walking around.

Layout of Windjammer Café

There are really two sections of the buffet on Majesty of the Seas, and there are also two decks in this area.  I really enjoyed how spacious Windjammer Café felt.  The aft section of the buffet was almost always less crowded and more peaceful as it looked out over the ocean, but there was also an upstairs section that offered a drink station and lots of natural light from above the center of the buffet.

It was a relaxing area to eat my lunch and not feel like a crammed sardine.  Of course this meant I had to descend the stairs to get more food from the buffet, but Sorrento’s and Compass Deli were on that same floor as well.

Viking Crown Lounge

This is a staple of some Royal Caribbean ships, and I must say that is probably my favorite place to sit and watch the ship as it leaves and enters a port.  Often this section is reserved for Diamond and Pinnacle Club members, but it’s the highest point from which you can view the ship and look around.  There’s also a ship’s wheel up there that’s great for photo ops.  The picture under the point “Plenty of Places to Lounge” was taken from Viking Crown Lounge.

Aft Views and Loungers

Majesty of the Seas does not have an aft pool, but it does have a very inviting deck-by-deck area for views and lounging.  Just behind the spacious basketball court is a staircase.   Walk down one deck and you will find a few loungers for enjoying the view.  You can keep descending stairs until you get to deck 7, which goes all the way around the ship.

Majestic Princess Itineraries

Majestic princess review, review of majestic princess.

The 2017-built Majestic Princess cruise ship is the 3rd Royal-class vessel in the Princess Cruises fleet, together with the fleet mates Royal Princess (2013), Regal Princess (2014), Sky Princess (2019), Enchanted Princess (2021) and Discovery Princess (2022). From the same class is also the P&O UK ship Britannia (2015).

The vessel (IMO number 9614141) is currently UK- flagged (MMSI 232002990) and registered in Southampton .

History - construction and ownership

Princess Cruises is a USA-based passenger shipping company headquartered in Beverly Hills CA. A former subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises (1977-founded), in 2003, the company merged with Carnival Corporation - the world's largest cruise shipowner. Among Princess Cruise Lines Ltd's assets is the Caribbean private island resort Princess Cays (on Bahamas Eleuthera Island's southern end), located approx 80 km (50 mi) from Nassau .

The 3560-passenger ship Majestic Princess is among the largest liners. The liner carries the Chinese name - Sheng Shigrave; Gong Zhu Hao on its hull, chosen by Carnival Corporation's Chinese employees. It is translated as “Grand World” (or “Grand Spirit”).

Signature features of sister-ships Regal and Royal include multiple dining venues; cantilevered SkyWalk; multi-story atrium; outdoor cinema Movies Under the Stars; adults-only Sanctuary complex. Tai Chi at sea, ballroom dancing, Chinese satellite TV channels and subtitled Hollywood movies are among the Chinese experiences of “Princess Class”, rolled out to the local cruise market.

Princess Cruises announced on February 8, 2016, on Chinese New Year, that its first cruise ship designed and built specifically for the China market, Majestic Princess (盛世公主号), is also the fleet's first vessel with the company's new livery design.

Also on February 8, 2016, the new ship reached a significant construction milestone when Majestic Princess “floated out” in its building dock at Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. The ship met the ocean for the first time and the occasion was marked by a traditional ceremony.

Majestic Princess was scheduled for delivery on April 4, 2017, in Civitavecchia-Rome . The ship (homeported in Shanghai China ) offers many of the same special features as Regal Princess and Royal Princess . Among those are a multistory atrium serving as a social hub; a top-deck glass-bottomed over-the-ocean SeaWalk (extending 28ft beyond the ship's edge), Princess Live! (interactive studio), Chef’s Table Lumiere (private dining room).

Majestic Princess has new venues created specifically for China's cruising market.

Decks and Cabins

Majestic Princess staterooms (1780 total, in 38 categories) include 350 Suites, 1088 Balcony and 342 Inside cabins, in 38 categories. The ship has no Oceanview cabins. Most outside accommodations (1438) have private step-out balconies. The ship also has 36 wheelchair-accessible cabins. The largest are the Balcony Suites (470 ft2 / 44 m2 plus 210 ft2 / 20 m2 terrace).

The boat has 18 decks , of which 15 are passenger-accessible and 8 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

There are many for-fee dining options onboard Majestic Princess, but guests who would rather not pay are offered enough quality and variety to satisfy. Those who prefer tradition can choose between the three main dining rooms.

World Fresh Marketplace is the buffet option, providing a more casual vibe. Passengers who want to have lunch in their swimsuits can take a burger from Trident Grill or a slice at Prego Pizzeria. Indoors, Alfredo's features delicious calzones, salads and thin-crust pizza.

Majestic Princess boasts two new restaurant concepts - "Harmony" and "La Mer" (Bistro Sur La Mer/in 2023 replaced with "The Catch by Rudi").

Harmony is a modern specialty restaurant with a sophisticated Chinese dinner menu by Michelin-star chef Richard Chen.

La Mer (cover charge US$35 per person) was an authentic Parisian bistro with a fine dining dinner menu featuring French cuisine by Michelin-star chef Emmanuel Renaut. In 2023, La Mer was replaced with "The Catch by Rudi" - Princess Cruises' new specialty seafood restaurant/introduced on Enchanted Princess) via partnership with celebrity chef Rudi Sodamin, who is also the Head of Princess Culinary Arts. The menu is predominantly of seafood dishes based on the freshest catch (sustainably sourced seafood from the current itinerary's ports of call) but also includes vegetarian dishes as well as prime beef steaks, gourmet appetizers and desserts.
