CarrpeDiem Posted December 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Just returned from a week on Majesty - 1st time on the ship (6th cruise - last 2 on Destiny) - it was absolutely brilliant !! The ship was lovely and much less 'tired' than destiny. Staff brilliant - food lovely - hubby and I have no complaints what so ever and would definitely sail on Majesty again... I have seen the other more negative reviews re last week - in my opinion it's what you make of it and you get what you pay for ! if you want a £4000 per person cruise experience then book a £4000 per person cruise.... not a Thompson one then complain about any small negatives.... If you are due to go on Majesty then look forward to it.... if the negative reviews have put you off and you don't want to go..... hubby and I will be more than happy to go in your place rather than you waste it (lol)... as would the new friends we met onboard who also didn't want to come home :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymro1953 Posted December 31, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2012 So glad to hear you had a lovely time on her. I thought from comments on here that we were the only ones that had a great time on her when we did Adriatic Explorer in Sept. They had to practically drag us off down the gangplank at the end of the week. Have a Happy New Year Berwyn :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skioncruises Posted December 31, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well done CarrpeDiem, glad you enjoyed your Christmas. Your comments echo ours. We were on Majesty just after Berwyn and had a fantastic time. Don't comment much these days as too many people on here wanting too much for too little and I would get banned for some of my thoughts. Happy New Year to you and yours.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PADDY48 Posted January 3, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 3, 2013 We had a fabulous time on the Thomson Majesty Christmas Cruise,met some nice people and some "interesting" ones.Good choice of food,evening entertainment first class,cabin stewards lovely;enjoyed the chocs and towel sculptures.Cabin not great,as first timers we didn't know what was a good cabin anyway and it was a last-minute booking so had to take what we were given,4994, too near back of ship so very noisy and quite small.We could cope with it being small as we have a campervan and are used to small spaces but even earplugs couldn't stop the noise. We only booked 2 excursions,one to a volcano crater and winery which was good,the other one was awful.We had never been to Morocco so booked the walled city trip to Taroudant costing £72.After about an hour's drive we arrived and were taken on a fast walk around,unable to take photos or stop and look at the sights,we were then taken to the Souk and left for 20 mins to be pestered by the traders.I looked at a leather belt,£40 was asked,I got him down to £10 after a long wrangle,we were glad when the guide re-appeared to take us back.The drive back consisted of the driver and guide talking to each other in their own language for the whole boring journey.We complained about the cost and the content of the trip when we returned but nothing was done.The rest of the time we found our own way around with the helpful maps given out at reception and had a much better time,so save your money and do it yourself! Our friends were right,once you do a cruise you can't wait to do another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
