Buck Turgidson Posted June 24 #1 Share Posted June 24 One of my favorite activities on a cruise is to walk the promenade deck. How much of the deck is walkable on the Majestic? It looks like it may be blocked fore and aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted June 24 #2 Share Posted June 24 Not much - there are 2 main areas available which are near the atrium and near the aft elevator lobby. Some of the royal class ships have an access route behind the lifeboats and I can't remember if the majestic has that. Even if it does, its about the width of neighborhood sidewalk between the ship superstructure and lifeboats so its not a nice place to walk. There is a walking track up on the top deck that goes around the basketball court and the funnel - its about 1/8th of a mile I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted June 24 #3 Share Posted June 24 As Rob said, it's bad. There are the two outdoor areas on the Promenade Deck, but they're uncovered. The narrow walkway behind the lifeboats was open sometimes and closed at other times on my Majestic Princess cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cessna140 Posted June 24 #4 Share Posted June 24 I'm just off the Majestic today and was disappointed that there is no true promenade deck. Most of the open area on deck 7 is filled with tenders and you have to walk single file past them. And you can't go all the way around the ship 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted June 24 #5 Share Posted June 24 None. There are just what I call patio areas. The walking track is on deck 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yehootu Posted June 24 #6 Share Posted June 24 Also the aft area on the port side is a smoking area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with the non-existent promenade, the tall plexiglass screens for much of the top decks make it difficult to enjoy the scenery. If you have a balcony, that helps, but granted you'll only see one side of the ship. If I had to choose a Royal class ship for Alaska, I would choose the Majestic since it does have the hollywood pool area. When the weather is cool or misty, these ships just dont have a lot of covered areas for watching scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
