It’s Majestic but be aware of obstructed balcony views due to “Sky Walk”

We chose the cruise for the destination as we wanted to be in Sydney for the New Year Celebration and the cruise ended on December 30th.

I was very disappointed in the Lotus Spa on this ship. I booked a 90 minute massage and upon my arrival was shown to the co-ed “relaxing” area. This was not a spa atmosphere - more like a doctor’s office waiting room. No nice bathrooms to relax in, not even in the treatment room. Totally co-ed. No free use of whirl pool, sauna or steam room, but you could buy a week pass for $199 to use them (The Enclave”). Was told by spa personnel that this ship wasn’t like the other Princess ship spas and they needed to control the amount of people using the spa whirlpool, etc and that is why they charged for them. However, the message was wonderful! Just wish I could have relaxed before my message. Felt very disappointed about that.

Hollywood Pool Club was Adult only, no charge and it was lovely. Very relaxing and serene and no charge. I just chose to lounge and read a book.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin M1

The cabin itself was wonderful. Loved the bedding, towels, amenities. Great cabin steward! The downside is the location of the cabin. It was 2 decks down from The Skywalk and people walking on The Skywalk could see us on our balcony. Also, we could literally look up and see up girl’s short skirts when they walk above us! The Sky Walk has a blue glow that stayed lit all night and shone in our room and the Sky Walk obstructed our night time balcony viewing. When we were in New Zealand we wanted to enjoy sitting out on our balcony and enjoy the fjords but they were partially obstructed by the Skywalk. We had little to no privacy on our balcony. Was very disappointed about that. We loved the Club Class Mini Suite, but this cabin (and all other cabins under the Sky Walk) should be labeled partially obstructed. Also the noise from Deck 16 was heard both inside the cabin and as well as outside on our balcony.
