kopmom Posted July 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have only ever been on RCCL ships. Anyone done the Sky or Majesty recently and have feedback? How is the dining on NCL vs RCCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmilfordnh Posted July 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I did Majesty from July 10-14th, 2017. The buffet is average, nothing special. Sit down formal meals are excellent. The ship itself is smaller, rundown, older. This was my first cruise. I was not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearthosesteeldrumsplayin Posted July 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2017 My DH and I did Majesty last November for his birthday. This year we are doing Sky. Owners suite for both. The owner's suites are sweet :) However, the main dining on Majesty was hot, cramped, and we actually left without eating and did not step foot back into the dining area again. Did not find that on Sky (I went with 5 girlfriends, staying in same suite again with DH this time!) I find that I enjoy NCL for the anytime dining and the dress up or not ambiance. (We usually dress nice, but no longer in tux and formal gown.) I did appreciate that Majesty's craps table was in the non-smoking section of the casino (realizing that part of the casino is smoking, so non-smoking is relative.) Sky has a hot tub on the balcony of the Owner's suite. And, if you are springing for a suite, NCL does it right with formal table cloths and butler service for in-suite dining (Majesty just dropped off food, fend for yourself), priority embarkation/disembarkation/tenders (Majesty was so/so on this). Majesty had great cabanas and private area on their private island....I will find out about Sky's later this year, as I didn't partake last time (so maybe they didn't have anything to offer?) But I will say that RCCL's beach massage was not at all what I was thinking of (I guess I was expecting an actual massage on the beach, not a room in a beach house). I will ask more questions before booking something like that again; I would have been just as well off (with less expense) to stay on the ship for the massage. I thought that Majesty just went through a refurb? At least, they were gearing up for it last November. But cbmilfordnh's comment doesn't make it sound like that happened. We had no complaints on Sky (but consider where we stayed....) Conversely, we were in the largest suite (both lines have great suite layouts!) on Majesty and the trip was okay, but not phenomenal.
