Giggleswickian Posted August 3, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2012 just returned from pearls of the agean/adriatic discovery on the majesty. We ate at la bistro on captains night (week 2 - one captains nights enough) we paid £38.00 for two and must say excellent value and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Reservations have to be made for la bistro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceabea Posted August 5, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2012 oooh Berwyn I must have missed the info that you are off on majesty in sept! hope you like her, want a full run down when you get back please! Adriatic is the only itinerary left for me to do on Thomson and I was resigned not to go when it was Destiny doing it (really couldnt do another cruise in those shoebox family cabins), but now its Majesty I'm tempted again!

Hi Clare, As good as the hotel holiday was last month we both missed our cruise and waking up in a new place every day. So we were naughty and booked it. We're off on 21st Sept. Will give full report and pics on our return. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great itinerary - I'm sure you'll love it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymro1953 Posted August 6, 2012 Author #15 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What type of cabin have you got Berwyn? It's a great itinerary - I'm sure you'll love it. :) We've got an inside plus on deck 4. Having read here that the standard ones were small so we opted for the bigger one. And we get the fridge too. Everyone says how fantastic and senic this one is. We've cruised down the Adriatic before, last year on Star Princess. But left from Venice and only stopped at Dubrovnic on way to Greece and Turkey.

Berwyn Im sure you will have a fantastic time, great to have it so soon and no long wait for it to come round :D Lysette (Thomson kids host currently on Majesty) says the ship is nice, although she has reported 3 times (that Im aware of!) the overflowing toilet problem in the staff deck cabins - havent been keeping up with posts on here so dont know if this affected the whole ship or just the staff deck and if there were lots of passengers affected or not. She also said the cabins are bigger than Destiny (but not much) and its less tired looking, but entertainment areas are not as big or as accessible. She is loving the itinerary though and her photos on facebook have made me very jealous LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the latest ones have been very good. Have not noticed many major probs with the toilets in the comments. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwyn Oh good - you should be fine for space then. :) I was just going to warn you about how tiny the standard ones are and also about the noise and vibration at the back of Deck 4 and going to suggest you book a specific cabin mid-ships as I wouldn't want you to end up there as it would put a dampener on your enjoyment I reckon. I've just looked a the deck plans and from what I can make out the problem area doesn't appear to have any 'plus' cabins so you should be ok. (It might be worth you going checking this area out for future travellers when the ship is underway to see if it's still a problem or whether they have been able to improve it at all although I fear that isn't likely!) Anyway have a great time - I'm sure you will - the itinerary is stunning, the food and service excellent. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job I'd looked at deck plans first. We've booked 4040 just forward of the central stairwell on the port side. I think it should be OK.

Red Scorpion Posted August 6, 2012 #22 Share Posted August 6, 2012 With regard to itinerary Venice is of course amazing and easy to access on your own by vaparetto (water bus). Koper tends to be closed on a Sunday. I was worried about the safety in the Postjana Caves on a trip that we went on but I was in a minority there. The capital Lubljana is said to be nice but I haven't been there. One thing you need to make sure of is that you get up early for the sail in to Montenegro. It is spectacular and Montenegro is a great place with nice people... very civilized. We didn't go into Dubrovnik itself instead opting for an excursion on a boat, island hopping. It was very relaxing. It is a great itinerary, you will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
