"LIVE" from the Majesty / 06-21-2008

[angeljt]

Radio,

All of your pics have been great, but I love the early morning lighting in this last set. I sure wish the Majesty would come back to Boston. We loved that little ship and the convenience of being so close.

I hope everyone living close to her dock now enjoys her as much.

Have a great last day in Bermuda and some fun on your sea days.

Jackie

I'm glad you have shared each day with us. Your camera skills continue to impress me. I didn't get any good pics of our room 903. If it works out for you, and the pax in the suite don't mind. Could you get a picture for me? I frequently stay in inside cabins and being in the suite was such a thrill for me.

 

Thank you.

Still sporting the scars from my 1999 scooter mishap, didn't break anything though.

Radio...Just want to add my thank you for taking the time to post your report and especially the pictures, which are terrific. We have been to Bermuda several times and needless to say it is one of our favorite destinations. We will be going on our first NCL cruise in Oct. on the Majesty (to New England and Canada) and really liked seeing the pictures of the ship. Thanks again, and enjoy the rest of your trip!

Susie51,

There are some pics of 903 in my webshots album. You can download them if you want. Aren't you the one who went with your Uncle?

Paul, if you rode motorcycles, you should be perfectly fine with the scooters.

You're right.

 

Thanks for the link to Oleander Cycles.

[Jeniceves]

Thank you for all the time you've taken to give us info. Your photos are beautiful (are you the only one awake in the mornings??) and I have taken notes about everything for our upcoming July 12 cruise. I can't wait to read your entire review and see more photos!!! Jenice

I think he said he would post that when he came home. He'll be home soon. Cruises have a way of flying by... :(

Radio - thanks for the wonderful memories. We were on the May 24 cruise out of Charleston and had a marvelous time. Bermuda is our favorite destination and we're very fond of the Majesty. So much that we booked a return trip for next May out of B'more.

If you get a chance, could you stop by the Polo Lounge and tell Elena and Mohamed that Edi & Ron are looking forward to continuing the martini tastings next year? They're a great pair and make mighty tasty drinks!:D

Enjoy the rest of your cruise and I look forward to reading your full report when you get back home.

Radio........

 

Just want to thank you for taking all of us to Bermuda with you! I think we have all vacationed vicariously through you this past week and it has been a blast! It's the best non-vacation I've ever had!!!!! My husband and I cruised to Bermuda last year on the Dawn (his 2nd time to Bermuda and my 8th!) and your thoughts and pictures have taken us back there again :-). So.........thanks again and we can't wait for your "official" review! Wishing you smooth seas all the way home!!!!!

I hope those 2 nights go very slowly. :D

Enjoy!

Mohamed was great! I'm surprised he's still on the Majesty, but I believe the crew really enjoys working on her so I shouldn't be surprised.

Great and sunny weather and very calm seas all this week.

Hi Radio - Just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your posts and pictures! We're looking to go to Bermuda next year, so all of your information is a great help!

 

I can't believe (or maybe I can :) ) that over there are over 11,000 views of your thread! Way to go!!!

 

Enjoy your last two days...they go by way too fast! (Why doesn't work ever go that way? lol!)

Wanted to say again you take great pictures. Will look forward to your review and more pictures. I suppose you have already left Bermuda and are on your way home by now. Have a good time before you get back Saterday.

Hello everyone. . We left Bermuda at about 11:15 AM

 

The pilot left the ship at about 1130. Captain Ronny Borg has announced that it should be smooth sailing back to Baltimore.

 

Today’s weather is beautiful, as it has been all week. We sail away today with sunny skies, and warm temps (81f).

 

The shops opened at 12:30PM, and the Casino opened at 2PM. The Casino will stay open until late tomorrow. Tonight there will be a repeat performance from Comedian Sam Griesbaum. The Production Show in the Palace Theatre will feature “On the Radio“. The evening will be finished off with the “Chocoholic Buffet” at 11:15PM

 

Tomorrow will be the worst day of the cruise. . .the final day at sea. The activities will be plentiful though. I will report on the final day activities tomorrow.

 

The wonderful Hotel Director (Derek Van der Nest) , was gracious enough to provide me with all of the New Menu’s (2.0 Freestyle) for Majesty.

I will post these or provide a link to scanned copies when i return. . .

 

I haven’t had a bad meal on board this ship. I have tried to dine in all of the restaurants. . I still have to try the Four Seasons, which I will do tomorrow.

 

The meals have all been delicious. The cooks seems to have pride in what is being served, and how it is being presented. Le Bistro was excellent, but dinner in the Pasta Café and Seven Seas were very close to excellent !

 

I have been very pleased with the attention to service that I have received from the wait staff.

 

Here are a few pics from sail away !

 

Thanks for tuning in. . . More pics tomorrow !

So Long to Bermuda. . . . Until Next time

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heading back to Baltimore. . . Should arrive by 7AM on Saturday

What beautiful pictures! You're the next best thing to being there :) !

[High C's]

Safe travels home, Radio. And a HUGE thank you for bringing such joy to those of us who were not along for the ride!!!! You obviously take great pleasure in posting from your cruises, and I want you to know that the effort is well worth it. I enjoy your reviews more than any I have ever read!

 

Where are "we" off to next? I can't wait!

[JHJMAS]

Hey Radio! We're on Majesty in ~40 hours! Woo-hoo!

 

(We received a call this morning from NCL's "development" group and were given an upgrade to a Deck 9 "suite" for a pittance!)

 

I'm still pining for a quick scouting of what Majesty has in their fitness room.

 

Specifically, do they have elliptical glide machines? If not, I'll save the packing of my workout clothes and be sure to walk a lot more on Bermuda! :D

 

I eat, therefore, I work out.

 

Hope you enjoy your day at sea! Maybe I'll see you at the pier!

[Susie51]

Thank you Radio, for the link to your pics of the suite. Yes, I was my disabled uncle's companion for our Jan. 2008 W. Carib. cruise.

 

Wow! Thirty-four times on RCL! What type of perks do you get?

 

I have been on Song of America (7 days Mex. Riv.), Rhapsody (7 days Alaska), Grandeur (7 days E. Carib.), and Vision twice ( 7 days Alaska and 10 days full transit Panama Canal, San Juan to Acapulco.)

 

When you get back, in your review and comparison, would you let us know if you have been on Song of America?

 

I liked the aft lounge. I think it was called the South Pacific. My mom, sister, daughter, and I shared an inside room. On the Majesty Jan. cruise Mom and Sis shared a room that was even smaller than our Song of America room, but at least there were only two of them. Am I remembering correctly, over all I think Majesty is a bigger ship?
