So slightly restricted view. Yes that’s definitely the main obstruction however the benefits of complete visual at front, seeing both sides, especially arriving and leaving ports plus if we get into fiords will make it well worth it 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of reviews asking that and replies saying unless its exceptionally windy it was never a problem and they used it regularly. others said when they were laying on loungers wind didn’t affect them. I thought it was worth the chance for the price. What a beautiful cabin with a great view from your balcony. Hope you have smooth seas. I'm envious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was worth the chance for the price. That's great, I had seen those before and wondered if they would be worth it, if you could not use them on sea days. Will re think them again, as I don't think I'm the type to get sea sick easily, well so far haven't, but then have not had a really rough sea on the cruises I've done. Looking at the video, wondered what that! why is their a ladder in the wardrobe? Then realise oh yeah. Bit slow sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I noticed ladder in wardrobe lol I’m thinking there was a Pullman bed eh??? I’ll be sure to give a report on it. we’ve never been in majestic and I see quite mixed reviews so going with an open mind and we will definitely enjoy the cruise cos we’ll make sure we do😁 I don’t have to cook or clean for two weeks ! What’s not to enjoy 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm envious. We have been in pretty rough seas going over the “ditch ” and not been bothered by seasickness so far. This will be our 5th such cruise though we’ve usually gone from Melbourne. I LOVE cruising out of Sydney harbour though so worth the effort to fly up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't enjoy being forward on Majestic as much as being aft or mid. The aft lifts were an easy way of getting around the ship quickly. Nice cabin though, and we are OK with some movement. It is just the walk from the forward lift/stairs to the atrium on 7 - boring, repetitive, full of shoppers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't book that way when booking direct over the internet, but you can over the phone with Princess or via a knowledgeable agent. 15 hours ago, Ozwoody said: Hi newcruisers121 Geoff has answered your question, as says yes but you have to book personally not on the net. The net is very rigid in handling things.😄 Enjoy playing with the calculators. Thanks for your comments John Thanks so much! Yes, it only gave me the option to upgrade both of us to the Plus fare online. Would we be able to upgrade only one of us on-board during embarkation? Would the price be the same or more expensive if we wait until then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are allowing passengers to pay to upgrade from old to new versions of their packages on embarkation day, and you can purchase the stand-alone drinks packages but we have always bought plus or premier packages prior to final payment date. Whichever way, it won't get any cheaper than it is today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
