Majesty cruise 9 to 13 Oct

[excalwop]

Just return from the Majesty cruise

Arrived day early stayed at Days inn north they supply free pickup from airport and free trans to the port starting at 10:00 am

Arrived at the port at 10:25 Baggage turnin was so fast that I had to check to make sure it happen. Had to wait until 11;20 to clear security for they had a competer break down. Spent this time talking to a couple who was getting married on board.

after clearing security prossing in was fast but check for the seapass signs which they were just putting up, just to make sure you get into the correct line. Then the fun start. There they tell you to go to the end of the building for boarding. There there are small groups all waiting to get aboard. Then you see a group forming along the wall. That is the line for boarding. This is when a cruise rep will give you a correct reply as to where you need to be.

On board 11:45

Once on board you will find that the door ways to the cabins a close off So went to lunch The buffet had signs over everything. But DO NOT go by them for every one was over some thing else. Had meat and fish signs over the Vegies. and so forth Showed this to a Ships officer for the serving personal would not even check it out. He had them correct it. Tour the ship until 1:00 pm

At 1:00 pm the doors to the cabins were open. our bags were waiting at the door. Can Say these were the smallest cabins we ever had. To get to the porthole had to craw over the bed.:rolleyes: Unpack and the went exploring more of the ship. The map lay out was the worst one We had ever used Took for ever to find the pizza parlor was given the wrong directions from cruise personal inc. a ships officer. Found it by taking a wrong turn. It was so small that we walked by it once. At 4:30 had boat drill finish at 5;00 pm. Talked with some of the others pass. while leaving Port Did this until 6:00 pm which was our dinner. The meal and our servers were great and our follow dinners Only 2 others on a 8 person table and they were 1st time cruisers Who change to late dinner because of they needed more time to get ready for formal night. This Left us with the table for the rest of the cruise.

Went to a show which was ok .

Day 2 Nassau After breakfast got off the ship and running the ventors walked up to the Queens stairway. Before you do visit the info booth and listen to the drections you get there mainly on how many street lights before you turn For there were no street signs Anywhere. Be sure to talk to the guy in the wheel chair. the info he gives out will get you to laughing, Walked to the fort Out standing view from there. Walked back to town did some shopping Went back to the ship ate another fast Breakfast and grab our snorkel gear and took the Stuart cove's snorkel 2 site tour with shark snorkel and feed This was Outstanding. Got back late had dinner at the buffet and went to bed after.

Day 3 Coco cay. After breakfast at the buffet. Got off ship early one of the first to hit the water, snorkel out to the planes, Glad that we used the suntan sea safe for we ran into a group of jellyfish They did not like it. Saw one stingray and a large amount of fish by the planes Went over to the shipwreak ran out of film and batties in our cameras.

Got back to shore in time to have our bbq lunch. After that just took it easy until around 2:00 pm did some swimming and then back to the ship. Had dinner did the show.

sorry MY luggage which United sent to the wrong airport was just delived, now to finish this

Day 4 Key West. Costoms /security inspection went fast had a snorkel tour with Glass Reef was outstanding only 4 on board inc the boat orperator/ guide. Amy our guide was very good and good looking also seen sharks, barricudas, eels and a large amount of other fish. Got back in time to cleanup for dinner. Then spent the remainder Cleaning our snorkel gear and packing:eek: Got everything packed and out in the hallway by 10:00 pm.

 

Day 5 Had breakfast and waited for departing left the ship at 8:42 found our bags by 9:10 and on a bus to the airport by 9:30,.

Arrived at the united check in found out that our flight home had been change to another air line and that we had to change planes in Orlando.

They took our bags and put them on the wrong plane. In Orlando we had to rush to our departing gate found that they change it arrived at the new gate just as they were closing the a/c doors. Then we found out this was the flight we were suppose to be on from Miami.

 

Over all the cruise was smooth with a few bumps as listed The main problem was the crew did not know the ship locations outside thier work stations about 60% when asked could not tell us where a store or area was.

Also for those Who bring regular film do not plan to have them develop aboard ship even thou it saids so in the Cruise Compass They only do digital now.:mad:
