Southern Caribbean
March, 2001
We sailed on the Majesty on the exotic southern itinerary. We had a wonderful
time. At first we missed the atrium feel of the last ship we were on but the
teak wood and decor was pleasant.
We had an inside stateroom it was efficient but tiny
it was only 108 square feet including the bathroom. The entertainment was
very good. It seemed a little more sophisticated then RCCL shows. However, we
made sure to get to the shows early to get good seats because they are
columns that cause sight obstructions.
We enjoyed the freestyling dining it
was nice to decide when you wanted to eat and where. They would seat people
with whoever came in at the same time. We had met a lot of interesting
people. You could request a table for two which we did a couple of the
nights. We tried all the restaurants and they were all good. You don't get to
know your waiter because every night we changed dining rooms the service was
still good. We never ate at the buffet in the evening, only for breakfast. At
breakfast they have cooks making omelets to order at the buffet. The
breakfast was too slow in the dining room if you want to get off the ship as
quickly as possible in port.

The only excursion we took was St. Lucia land
and sea tour which I think is the best way to see the island. Taxi tours
would be very expensive on this island since the main sights are far away. We
were shocked to find out my husband wasn't allowed to take a snorkel
excursion to Buck Island because he is a diabetic. I can't imagine why
snorkeling would be dangerous to a diabetic so we had to do it on our own and
couldn't go to Buck Island because the ship didn't get there in time to make
the private excursions. They leave from the other side of the island. We
docked at every island so we never had to use tenders which saved time. They
leave port at 5:00 p.m. every night. We wrote on the comment card they should
leave later at least no earlier than 7:00 p.m. these islands are so close
together they could easily leave later.
