sand dollar Posted February 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi everyone! I was wondering if there are any "perks" with reserving an AB suite on the Majesty? (i.e., concierege, etc.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwithkids Posted February 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, there is a concierge. We have in the past found that unlike other NCL ships where there are a lot of suites and a lot of demand on the concierge time, the Majesty concierge service is really top notch. There is no butler on the Majesty. You also want to know that some of the Majesty suites have obstructions, so if you have a choice of rooms make sure you know which are which. Suite ~ Obstruction % ~ Side of Ship 902 ~ 0 ~Port 904 ~ 0 ~Port 905 ~ 0 ~Starboard 906 ~ 30 ~Port 907 ~ 5 ~Starboard 908 ~ 80 ~Port 909 ~ 40 ~Starboard 910 ~ 5 ~Port 911 ~ 50 ~Starboard 912 ~ 0 ~Port 914 ~ 10 ~Port 915 ~ 0 ~Starboard 916 ~ 80 ~Port 917 ~ 0 ~Starboard 918 ~ 50 ~Port 919 ~ 75 ~Starboard 921 ~ 80 ~Starboard 923 ~ 30 ~Starboard Another poster had posted this information, but I believe it is accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechick Posted February 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, the AB suites are considered full-blown suites and give you VIP status. You have the concierge, a full-sized bathroom w/ upgraded soaps/shampoos, etc. A complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, snacks delivered daily, a fruit basket that gets replenished, bathrobes, etc. You also get invited to the Captain's VIP cocktail party. Just be careful when booking as a lot of these suites have obstructed views. We were in suite 915 last year which has 0% obstruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryln Posted April 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Do the windows open in the AA & AB suites on the Majesty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted April 20, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2008 No, they do not open. But you have lots of room and it is a short walk out on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD06 Posted June 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have seen that the outlets are limited, so i want to take a power strip. Can someone tell me if the outlet is the two prong or three prong type in the AB suites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryln Posted July 5, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have a couple more Majesty AB Suite questions. Can anyone remember where the outlets are located? Is that a walk-in closet? That would be nice! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywillow Posted July 5, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have a couple more Majesty AB Suite questions. Can anyone remember where the outlets are located? Is that a walk-in closet? That would be nice! :D There is a walk-in closet, but it's not very spacious. Beats the usual inside/oceanview/balcony closets, but not by a lot.

2kids@BU&SC Posted July 8, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2008 All of the suites on norway deck (9) have obstructive views that are available we are in 906 (30%) but the ncl representative suggested 607 or 608 on the Majesty deck(6). But these seem so forward that I was afraid we would see nothing even though it is 0% obstructive. Has any one stayed in these AB suites? Which would you choose? Thanks for any info, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any info, Lisa If you look at Radio's photos #21 & #22 in his "Norwegian Majesty Cabins" album it looks like there are 2 windows, one behind the TV & one at the head of the bed. The views are probably good, but you'd have to stand at the window by the TV or get up on the bed to see out of them. Hopefully someone reads your post that can give you a better answer. Maybe ask Radio since we know he was just in one of them taking the photos. I just switched my AB suite today. I was in 905 before, right by the elevator. I moved down the hall, still with 0% obstructed view, so I'm happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD06 Posted July 8, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Maryln, The 1 outlet in the suites, at least in 902, is located @ the writing desk, just outside the bathroom. If you haven't already, I would plan on taking a power strip. FYI, the outlet is three pronged. The closet is big enough that we used it as a changing room. Hope you enjoy the suite life...we sure did. FYI, the concierge is Bruce Van Der Boon. Anything you need on board, let him know and it will be taken care of. Oops, just saw your sail date...Bruce is going on vacation beginning in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be 4 of us in the suite this time, 3 adults & a 4 year old. How was that being right by the elevators? Are there 1 or 2 safes? Any other tips? I really appreciate it!

We did not find any issues being that close to the elevator. There is a wall/doorway seperating the stateroom hallway from the elevator/stairs. We didn't even notice the karaoke going on in the Royal Observatory in the late evening. There is one safe in the closet, I'd say it's standard hotel size. I will say that the space was pretty tight with the sofa bed pulled out, but with it folded, there seemed to be plenty of room. Having the floor to ceiling window was great to watch the ocean go by. Captains VIP reception was Thursday evening. We found that on several days the stewards overlooked leaving beach towels in the room. Just call reception and they will have them delivered ASAP. I don't want to "scare" you, but I will warn you that the sofa bed (at least in 902) is not the most comfortable in the world. Not that we lost any sleep. Just so you're "prepared". We really loved the suite and completely enjoyed the Majesty. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can deal with that.;) That obstructed view list is also at cruisestateroom.com. That list came in very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious - you say there are no butlers on the Majesty? Only the concierge? - When I checked out the deck plan on NCL's site and browsed over the OS and AB it says butler and concierge upon request. But it definately doesn't mention the butlers on the cabin description page - Just want to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are two weeks off the Majesty, had an AB and the concierge, but no butler. Another thing is that our concierge met us at check-in at a special "VIP" area, so unless the current concierge does things differently than ours did, you won't have to "request" -- he/she will be at your service.

Thank you for clarifying - bet the concierge is really busy on the Majesty I had assumed that it was in error on the deckplan site - but just wanted to be sure.

maryln Posted September 20, 2008 #24 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I was trying to see in the photos if there is a fridge in the AB suites. If there is, where is it? There will be 4 of us. Will we receive one large bottle of water like we did on the Spirit? Are there any drawers in the closet? Thanks everyone. I'm sure I'll have more questions before the end of the week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the closet there was a small cabinet that doubled as a stand for our safe; it had a compartment with a “cabinet” door and also two small drawers. Other storage was in a cabinet/end table by the sofa, also the drawers in the nightstand. We had two bottles of water (two different brands).
