Rare island lady Posted January 3, 2018 #26 Share Posted January 3, 2018 We were just onboard Majesty over Christmas. Our experience was much different than yours and seemed to be echoed by everyone we talked to while onboard. The crew was AWESOME. It has been a long time since we had such an attentive and friendly crew on a ship actually. Would HIGHLY recommend sailing on her just for the crew. Agree....even though I am not really fond of the ship as one of my favorites, since it is missing too many of the venues I have come to appreciate IMHO, the crew really makes it special. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserbarbie Posted January 4, 2018 #27 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well we had certain criteria for the Cuba cruise and MOS hit it. So we booked for August. I spoke with the RCCL agent and she said they had no information on specifically what changes were going to be made. That's what she said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleophus12 Posted January 8, 2018 #29 Share Posted January 8, 2018 RC agent I spoke with last week said no dry dock or refurbishments were planned for MJ before next summer. Wish they would get all their people on the same page. I'm disappointed that the Empress is being moved. I've heard such great things about her.

Then your answer should have been "Great, I'd like to book a cruise on the MJ for next month". Let the agent figure out why there is nothing listed.

CelticMCO Posted January 9, 2018 #31 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Not sure how much they could do/add/upgrade to the old girl - there is just not enough space! We were on June 2016 after brief refit only difference was hot tubs and things you could not see. Agree with all that say best/friendliest crew around. The standard cabins are beyond small and bathrooms as well. Looking forward to getting Enchantment back in Port Canaveral. Sorry to say the days are numbered for this size ship; you can keep Cuba (do not be surprised if the current administration just ends Cuba cruise stops all together - nothing in the law/OFAC regulations regarding trade/spending money in Cuba has changed) would not spend one dime there until I can fly/disembark there and do as I please!!

footzz Posted January 9, 2018 #37 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've tried to find out from several different sources what's going to be done to the MJ, with no success. To date, there have been no references to any changes for dining options, nor upgrades, nor enhancements for our March 2nd. sailing. If no news is good news, then I'm guessing because nothing has been announced regarding improvements, that whatever is going to be done will likely be cosmetic and/or mechanical in nature. Since we'll be among the first pax to sail on her after the dry dock, If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to report back here after our cruise.

Rare island lady Posted January 10, 2018 #39 Share Posted January 10, 2018 JD several times including last week. Did you say JD is leaving soon? I was hoping he would be on for our upcoming cruise end of next week on the 19th. But I think you were telling me he would be gone by then. Sure would be nice to see him one more time! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted January 11, 2018 #44 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I really hope they add a Chops and upgrade the ship. When we booked, we booked the Empress because of the upgrades and Cuba route. I kinda feel duped. Now, if I cancel we lose our $200 deposit. Not cool.. Sent from my iPhone using Forums You can at least move to a different ship without any fees if you push hard enough. I booked Empress specifically for Keywest. They changed the ship to Majesty and took away Key West in favor of Costa Maya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our seven night cruise on Brilliance last month out of Tampa took us to both ports. Also stopped at another favorite, Grand Cayman. Nice itinerary.

Rare BillOh Posted January 11, 2018 #46 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Chops will not be added. I haven't looked for any deck plans, has Chops location been finalized? Part of the Viking Crown area seems to be the top rumor. Last September nobody on board could confirm where it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, even though I canceled cruise #6 on her, but I never planned on 4 and 5 either. At this point I am assuming I will be boarding Enchantment next September. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they also figured that the Compass Deli area wouldn't work either. That was the rumored location the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
