We were on the Majestic for 14 nights in May and have to agree about the theatre entertainment. I know Princess doesn't do this as well as other lines, but this was dire and I said so on the survey. I put it down to Covid and staff shortages; maybe it's harder to find good acts right now, but I feel your pain. For us, the Cruise Director & staff at Live were excellent so we went there whenever we could get a seat. Odd layout, took a while to get the hang of it! Also a vegetarian and I agree about the vegi meatballs. I was so excited to try them and ew!!! Enough said. Having never sailed Royal Class, I really thought I'd miss the full promenade, and I did a bit, but it wasn't a deal breaker. We also sail Celebrity, and there are things we like/dislike about both lines, but overall we had a fabulous time, loved the ease of the medallion, and we've booked on the Royal in September.

Hey! Yes, they are finally here! Now trying to choose a cruise to celebrate their arrival! Would help if Princess didn't keep kicking me out of their system! Seems to be hit and miss these days. Perhaps overloaded by people like me constantly checking itineraries and pricing, ha ha!

I can't get pricing up now. It was working for me an hour ago. It now stalls then kicks me out. It was doing this a week or so ago as well, on all my browsers, but it's been working okay this week until now. Really frustrating.

I've also been looking and will check again later. This might be the push I need to book.

In May, on our 14 day cruise, I wore sandals on the ship during day and evening, and switched to my boots or sneakers when going ashore or for glacier viewing. I mostly wore short sleeved pretty tops at dinner but wished I'd brought my black cardigan along. I didn't bring skirts or a dress this time and mostly wore dark trousers, or pants as called in North America, ones which were good for day or evening use and a posher pair of pants and a sparkly top for formal night. Lightweight sweaters worked as layers under coat and for evening dinners. It was very casual in the MDR, but I like dressing up a bit if I had the time. I never felt out of place. Some days I got to wear my sandals and short sleeved tops around port so definitely bring some. As usual, I took far too much as we used the laundry more than once.

We sailed 14 days on the Majestic last month, first cruise since 2019. The only thing sub par for us was that the theatre entertainment was absolute pants. Other niggles, as pescatarians they wouldn't allow us to sign up for Chef's Table (they apologized profusely) and that my favorite pina colada soup is now served in a bowl not a glass. I let my thoughts be known, ha ha. We chose to wear masks (many didn't) and it felt good to be cruising again. The crew kept telling us how good it was to have us back. It was a GREAT vacation and we made Elite at the end! Reading about the issues on the Crown, I feel sad that so many won't have the ports/experience we had. It isn't fair to advertise one thing, knowing you are supplying another, even if it is in the small print that things can be changed. We wanted to book a Vancouver loop again this fall, to somewhere warmer, but the Crown is doing the loop to California in September (before the dry dock) and the price is way too high to take the risk. ps The wine pours did seem smaller, unless we were in Vines.
