My sister and I had sailed 2 Princess cruises and before she passed I promised to take her daughter on a cruise. Since it was my niece's first cruise she had on compass to judge the trip on and she has a wonderful time. I, however, had sailed with Princess twice before and was able to compare this trip to past ones. The food on this trip was, for the most part, bland at best, with the exception of ...
Our experience on the Princess Majestic in most cases was as expected. Entertainment was excellent, our room steward was great, our stateroom kept very clean and as expected for a balcony stateroom. We particularly enjoyed our coffee in the morning from the International Cafe. The pastries were ok, not spectacular. Bar staff, front desk staff, dining room staff all were friendly and helpful. The ...
Always loves Princess and wanted to try out this vessel. Disappointed from day one! Only cruise ever that I have ever complained about. Such a disappointment. Many issues and many unresolved. Cabin Thermostat was not working properly and cabin was extremely hot, muggy and miserable, 90% of the lounges, restaurants, etc were extremely warm/hot and uncomfortable. Not enough cleaning of tables, ...
Pros:
Friendly and attentive staff
Nice pool area with nightly light show
All bars were great with very short wait times
When the app worked (I said when), our drink and food orders came fairly quickly
Nightly shows were good. Comedy show was the BEST!
Cons:
Medallion App - from the beginning of purchasing our cruise, to the end of the cruise, the App had LOTS of ...
Great price. Have not traveled in California for a long time. Was able to link 3 7 day cruises together.
Great staff. Beautiful ship. Hollywood Pool is so nice (although cold).
Lovely dinners.
My cabin steward Jorge was very helpful and cheerful.
The scones in afternoon tea were delicious. Fun experience.
Hated the take away cups for tea and coffee. Wanted a real cup. Also the ...
Doing a California Coastal on the Majestic was well worth it. Princess cruises never ceases to amaze us. We love the food, drinks, entertainment and the vibe. Our cabin was always wonderful. Never have we ever had a concern. The food is always amazing. Tried the afternoon tea for the first time and we'll be back for sure. Embarkation with the medallion is so fast, you don't even notice it. I think ...
Non working app ruined experience. Problem after problem. Nobody could fix it, & no dining reservations w/out it. No more Medallion cruises for me.
Food was typical minus the hair in my gravy. Cabin was good, and service in cabin as well.
Lots of free movies.
Location part of app always showed everyone else in same place as me.
Dinners were a nightmare as we tried & tried to make ...
Cruise was easy to embark on, all staff were pleasant and gave great service. Ports were all good. Buffet was like going to my company cafeteria. Not impressive. Included restaurants were not very good. Only a few dishes were above par. Went to Charter House steakhouse specialty dining and had the worst Rib-eye I have had in years. Thin cut, overcooked, tough. Extremely poor quality meat. ...
Been sailing with princess a short time now and have to say I’m impressed with the staff on board and the medallion is the game changer in the cruise industry. I found I didn’t have to wait at the bar to order a drink or stand in line to go to dinner was able to do everything from the app that I downloaded ahead of time. Getting a boarding time made getting on the ship in less than 20 minutes ...
We chose this cruise to use credits received for a cruise cancelled mid cruise due to norovirus on the Carribean Princess at the very start of Covid. We enjoyed the cruise except for all the shipboard time trying to get the Medallion (which we loved on other princess cruises) to work. Our dining reservation was lost and and we could not use the medallion to rebook. We ended up with private dining ...
