Lambface Posted August 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Help! I'm a pretty seasoned cruiser but I'm doing a quick cruise (3 night) out of Miami to the Bahamas. Traveling with elderly parents. Which boat should we reserve the Norwegian Sky or the RCCL Maesty of the Seas. Which has the better food? Which is the prettier boat? Any insights you can provide would be much appreciated.

Aquahound Posted August 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2011 In your case, I suggest the Majesty. It's the prettier ship and although still a 3 night cruise, probably the most subdued of the 2. Sky is a great ship with a lot to do, but definitely more geared toward a young crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb415 Posted August 6, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I like the pool deck on the Sky better than the Majesty - the lounge chairs are much more comfortable. I think that the food is better on Majesty, but, the cabins are much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 6, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Do both, then come back and give us the comparison! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Posted August 6, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have not cruised on the Sky but can tell you Majesty is awesome, good food and great service. Deck 9 has good size rooms which really doesn't come into play since hopefully you will be enjoying the shows and the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted August 7, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 7, 2011 These ships have virtually the same itinerary, and are priced within a few bucks of each other. That leaves Service, amenities, accomodations, and overall feel as the deciding factors. One thing I have noticed is that the shorter the cruise, the less time you spend in your cabin. It's like you know you only have 3 days and want to cram in as much as possible. On the longer trips, by day 4 or 5 you are more settled in and more willing to spend some time in your stateroom. That being said, stateroom size really doesn't matter so much for a 3 nite cruise. That leaves service, amenities, and overall feel. Based on my previous NCL sailings, and my recent Majesty sailing, I would say it is a coin flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
