Majesty - Now I think I have seen everything

As a previous poster said some alcoholics can seem perfectly sober except if you know the subtle signs for that person.

 

When we were on Freedom back in October, we were chatting it up with the bartenders in the pub. They said they had one customer on-board with the drink package that was averaging 20 to 30 drinks a day. :eek: They said the only reason they knew was because they were grilled by the bosses as to whether he was sharing his package. They said he never looked drunk and was with a group of people that all had the package. As far as they could see, he wasn't sharing with anyone.

Has anyone ever seen a bar tender cut anyone off? I've seen people you have obviously had too much to drink but still getting glasses of scotch! As a previous poster said some alcoholics can seem perfectly sober except if you know the subtle signs for that person.

 

Actually, Yes, I have. In February on Serenade, we were at the R Bar in the Centrum only a couple of hours after we set sail. After knocking several passengers' drinks over, falling down on the dance floor, and being a bit (ok, a lot!) obnoxious, not only did the bartender cut the couple off, security was called (because they were NOT happy with the bartender cutting them off) and they were sequestered to their cabin. We never saw them again the entire cruise.

I have friends on Majesty this week (M-F). I had told them to avoid the weekend cruise because of the risk of something similar happening. First cruise and I wanted it to go well... looking for future cruise mates!

Is there a way to tell if Majesty was able to tender to CocoCay today? Wednesday Feb 11th? Tracker seemed to show ship in motion at 4PM. That suggested to me they were not able to tender??? Any way to tell...:confused:

Only way I know is if someone onboard reports.

OK - many of you know I sail Majesty quite frequently, and I had just planned to update CC on any changes post dry dock that I noticed on my 2/6 weekend cruise. But instead, I think I can now report that I have seen everything there is to see on a cruise:

 

On Saturday, we bypassed Cococay due to rough seas, and had a sea day while proceeding to Nassau early to spend the night. I generally sit by the pool under the overhang from deck 12 near the towel station. I was enjoying a beverage and my music and that's when it happened. There's me, 2 empty chairs to my right, then another guy, then more empty chairs to his right. A tall thin mid 30ish guy gets up from a sun lounger, stumbles towards me. Almost falls into me, but then goes to the empty chair to the immediate right of the guy near me, and puts a towel on the chair. He faces the chair, pulls down his bathing suit and starts to relieve himself. The guy right there freaks out and hops up. I'm in shock along with several other nearby people. And this just goes on and on, as if you'd expect some hidden camera TV show to pop out. It's not stopping. I wave a pool attendant over who was a bit befuddled and then she taps him on the shoulder and he's oblivious. He finishes and picks up the towel and goes back to the lounger and lays down as if nothing has happened. I go to the towel station and tell them there is urine everywhere at the chair he used and they finally call security. Me and the other guy point him out and provide information on the event. They were trying talking to him but he's just sitting there with his hands behind his head soaking up the sun. Thankfully, they bleach everything. I was told the towels in question would be "incinerated." I had to go meet my friends and security was still there. We ended up having dinner in the Windjammer with an officer who told us the man was disembarked when we got to Nassau that evening. Interestingly, it did not appear to the crew that he had had that much to drink. I had been a bit concerned by what looked like passivity on the part of the ship when this first happened, but glad to know it was handled. Perhaps they just didn't want to draw any more attention to what was a bizarre incident.

 

And before everyone shouts - "booze cruise" - I can tell you the pool deck was not a party scene that day. It was chilly and we had missed Cococay and we had had a lot of movement. It was pretty quiet on the pool deck, especially for a sea day.

 

OK - so if you're still with me - let's talk Majesty post dry dock - there is almost no difference discernible to the average cruiser. No major changes. She has been painted and she feels super clean, but just a few bits of new carpet and some new astro turf on the pool deck. Oh and in Compass deli they have hung some sombreros on the wall because it has become an all you can eat Mexican eatery after 6:30. (Same menu as always during the day.) $12 all you can eat, tacos and different "homemade" guacamoles and salsas. I did not try it.

 

And I still love Majesty. IMHO still the friendliest ship in the fleet with the best and hardest working crew. She will be missed! I hope to sail her many more times before she leaves in 2016.

 

wow :eek:
