The maritime museum is excellent with a large titanic exhibit. Eateries along the water, friendly people.

Do it! Never did an inside cabin until we went on a last minute cruise recently with NCL. Only negative was swimsuits and workout gear never quite dried, but Princess ships have a self laundry. And… you will have to set alarms to wake up as it is quite dark, but great for napping. The Majestic is a terrific ship especially with the covered pool.

The only major negative was the large smoking bar area above the pool deck. A lot of smokers. Seemed like smoke blew back over the pool decks. Morning buffet was the same each day, but good omelets. No reservations needed for shows. Two production shows were pretty good. Comedian two nights was awful. The three bars together was kind of weird and crowded at times. Food and service were good overall. No major negatives. Nicely refurbished ship. We were on a 11 day cruise.

Recently cruised on the Jade. Long time Princess cruiser. The Jade is a refurbished ship in great physical shape. Food is good, especially in specialty restaurants. Buffett a step down from Princess. Better entertainment with live music on NCL. Only real issue is the bar above the pool is a smoking area.

Long time Princess cruiser here. Recently sailed on another cruise line for the first time in years (will do a comparison). Docked next to the Carribean Princess in San Juan. Have been reading reports that it is looking ‘tired’ for a while. Yep, they were right about the exterior of the ship. We have sailed on her a while back, but it was depressing to now see the rust everywhere. C’mon Princess, spend a few bucks and buy some paint! Was looking forward to sailing again when she docks out of Port Canaveral, but wonder what the interior looks like. Hopefully she will go into dry dock before that?

Greetings: We are long time Princess cruisers who just booked an NCL Jade cruise to the Carribean out of Tampa. Great itinerary and good price hooked us away from the love boat line. Last NCL cruise was on the SS Norway lol! Would love to hear thoughts, suggestions or can’t misses about this ship. Looking forward to experiencing something new. Thanks in advance for your comments.

We are scheduled for a cruise to Alaska in May and we’re able to make reservations already. At first, we were not able to book the Crown Grill, but a week later could. Our experience is once booked you can change times while onboard pretty easily. Have fun!

Good afternoon. First world problem here lol! When trying to schedule specialty dining on our next May cruise, only Sabatinis shows as available. Since we have the premier package and two specialty dinners, would like to schedule the Crown Grill one night. Is it possible that it is sold out eight months in the future? Only the two specialty restaurants on the ship. Could it be that with the package deals now, there is too much demand. Not really wanting to go to Sabatinis two times. If this is the case, it’s another package ‘perk’ that is not useable (kinda like unlimited desserts!). Emailed our Princess rep who responded that we could check availability once on the ship. That has not worked for us in the past. Thoughts?

I would bail on that cruise. Been on a few that had large groups, but none that large. Even small groups can be obtrusive. One cruise a small dance group kept popping up in weird places. One afternoon, a manager made everyone leave most of the Wakeview bar area which they roped off. The leader of the group showed up with a boom box, and only two or three couples danced. Not everyone was thrilled with those antics lol!

One great memory was dining at Bistro on the Majestic during sunset heading to Alaska. Great views and great filet. Sabatinis new menu is very good, but need to try and not eat each course lol. Way too much food. Do both!

Unfortunately, on our Canada/New England cruise there were a number of bars closed on deck. More specially, the retreat bar and the wakeview bar were closed Quite a bit. We thought it had something to do with local laws when in port?

My experience was that it was “good”. Bistro was much better, but everyone has different opinions, of course.

Unfortunately our most recent Sanctuary experience on the Enchanted was not very good. Was probably 3rd in line to reserve and the only sea day available had two lounges tucked into the corner with no breeze at all. Could have been ok, but a group of 4 couples had reserved together and it was non stop party. They even had multiple people coming in and out visiting with them all day. The visitors were even using the hot tub lol. Manager was nowhere to be found til end of day (looking for a tip?. Many other trips it was great.

The Majestic is a great ship. Loved, loved the noodle bar in Alaska. Conservatory is great. Recent cruises on other ships we had a difficult time getting Sanctuary reservations. In Alaska a neat place to actually swim who it was freezing out.

Heading out soon on a New England /Canada cruise. Bid on an upgraded cabin and was successful. Saw that our medallions were shipped (not received yet), prior to the change in cabins. This may be a stupid question, but do you have to get new medallions upon check in, or by some Princess magic does the medallion recognize the change? Also, just had our Princess Rep changed for the 99th time. Kinda liked the last guy… Bummer.
