"LIVE" from the Majesty / 06-21-2008
Hello everyone! Today is the first day of my first "LIVE" report aboard Norwegian Cruise Line. I will be sailing on the MS Majesty to Bermuda for a 7 night cruise.
We will be docked at the Ordnance Island Pier in St George's, Bermuda from Monday to Thursday. Those of you who have followed my "LIVE" reports with RCI, and HAL already know that I will provide daily comments and trip reports from this cruise. I will also try to post "LIVE" pics daily (as long as I am able to maintain a valid wireless connection) The MS Majesty is currently owned by (Cyprus based) Louis Cruise Line, and is under charter by Norwegian Cruise Line until Dec 2009. It will be interesting to see what 2.0 Enhancements will be implemented on this ship while she is leased to NCL. The NCL Majesty was purchased in 1997, from Majesty Cruise Line, and was stretched in 1999. This will be the first of 10 cruises sailing from the port of Baltimore (Cruise Maryland), and then she will sail another 10 cruises from Philadelphia, before returning to Charleston, SC later this year. So sit back, and relax. . .this should be a fun cruise ! I hope that my internet connection stays active. I should be getting to Cruise Maryland by about noon, and I will try to post several pics before sail away at 4PM. The weather for today should be nice (hopefully no rain !) I will be sailing with my brother today . . .(Mrs Radio will be sailing with me for my next Cruise in September) Thanks for tuning in !

Lucky you! I can't wait to hear how wonderful your cruise is. I want to go to Bermuda too! Please tell us about the island as much as you do the ship. My sister says that Bermuda is beautiful!

I'd be surprise if NCL implements many Freestyle 2.0 perks that require hard goods. The 2.0 perks not requiring hard goods maybe. Golly, the Majesty didn't implement Freestyle 1.0 all that well, you might be asking too much of the old gal for 2.0......

Radio,
See you in a few hours Weather looks good for Bermuda, and it looks like it should be a smooth trip.

Sometimes when I get up early. . . My brain doesn't cooperate with my typing. . . .
 On my first post I labeled the ship Majesty of the Seas, when I should have typed Norwegian Majesty. . . . Oooops  Sorry NCL . . . (Maybe the Mods can correct it ?, The Cruise Critic Mod's are great, aren't they !) I should be getting to the pier in about 1 hour. . . . Thanks for tuning in. . .

Thank you, Radio! I am looking forward to your reports and hope they are favorable.
Last year in Bermuda (on Empress) I saw the NCL ship in St. George's and so envied the lucky people who were parked there for 3 days. I took the plunge and reserved the Norwegian Majesty cruise for 2009. Much as I love Grandeur OTS, I need more time in Bermuda than a one-nighter. Have a great cruise!

Hey Radio! Have a great time on your cruise to Bermuda. I was there a couple summers ago with NCL on the Dawn and I'll be very interested to read whether you have a good week or not....mine wasn't so great.
Guess that's why I'm sticking with HAL for the time being. Enjoy Bermuda...it's a very nice but somewhat expensive island.
