BronzeQT Posted May 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Those are great pics. Thanks for posting. I hope the ship will be ready for us on Monday...doesn't look very promising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted May 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Marc has promised on his page that the ship would be ready for Monday. The pics are a few days old now... and from other drydock pictures it is amazing how slow things go, and the last few days everything comes together quickly. Now, being put back together and working are 2 different things ;) Often after drydock some of the areas that had work done are still being worked on a bit.

I have no idea now why I was so excited to be on the first sailing after drydock. I never really considered that the ship wouldn't be in 100% working order by then. I guess this cruise will serve as a lesson for the future. Regardless, I plan to enjoy this well-deserved break from every day life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted May 13, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 13, 2016 ahhhh the Big Screen TV on the pool deck. I can see how the thought process went on that: "How can we ruin the ambiance of the pool deck? Hey, a big screen TV ought to do it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Tyler Posted May 13, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) And no solarium/quiet pool area either to avoid it. Isn't Majesty leaving the fleet soon-ish? Wonder why they're putting this money in for a short time with the company. Or is she staying in the fleet now? Haven't been following it.

She alternates between leaving the fleet and not leaving the fleet. Right now, she is not leaving the fleet, but that can change any moment.

I hope so..Very disappointed Enchantment was taken and replaced with a ship devoid of improvements unless you are a 5 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Freeport yesterday, and she looked like she was still out of the water. Empress was docked in front of her and she was backed in behind the Carnival Sunshine and another ship so I couldn't get a clear view.

cruisegirl1 Posted May 14, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) I hope so..Very disappointed Enchantment was taken and replaced with a ship devoid of improvements unless you are a 5 year old. Right there with you. Even with "improvements", the ship has such tiny cabins! So those who want to sail from Port Canaveral either have the old Majesty with tiny cabins and limited upgrades, or the Oasis with limited ports. To me a downgrade from the old choice of Freedom or Enchantment. If the alternative is no 3/4 night cruise from PC, I guess I'd rather have the majesty than have nothing.

We left Freeport yesterday at 5PM, and were tied up in PC well before 6AM, and we weren't going more than 12-15 knots all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell from where we were. She was hidden behind three other ships. All we could see was the VCL and her bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M I completely agree with you. Freedom/Enchantment was a great combination. RCCL has made a mistake, I'm afraid, not having a better smaller ship. We're giving Majesty a try right befire our Oasis cruise but hate the Oasis/Majesty option. Might seriously consider Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted May 27, 2016 #20 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Port Canaveral was actually pretty lucky to have Enchantment for the time she was there IMO. Those 3/4 night Bahamas runs had been Sovereign class ships for I know at least the last 9-10 years so it makes perfect sense why Majesty is there. My best friend did a 3 nighter on Sovereign out of PC in 2007 then there was Monarch. Have no idea what ship did those runs before Sovereign. Does anyone? :confused: Edited May 27, 2016 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Yes, my sentiments exactly. I cancelled my June sailing aboard the Enchantment just to see if I could deal with the Majesty since it is so close to our home in Central Florida. I will find out in three days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you Reijo. I am leaving in three days for a weekend cruise and plan to post a review. I was so looking forward to PC having a Radiance Class ship. What a bummer.
