This was our second sailing on the Majesty. Yes, it's an older ship and showing her age, but very elegant. The first time we were able to go to CoCo Cay and, actually, this was the reason we wanted to take our granddaughter. Sooooo, we were VERY disappointed that it was cancelled. The food was just ok, pretty typical of RCCL. We have always raved about the food on Carnival! Ditto for the entertainment, Carnival has 1st class entertainment! We had an inside cabin, soooooooo small, but, again ok for the 4-day cruise. We found the staff and crew to be pleasant - no rudeness. We will be on the Mariner in Oct. for the Eastern itinerary and have a Jr. Suite - pricey, but we feel worth every penny! We love to have a balcony - there's nothing like it! If you can afford it, I recommend a balcony! (Stayed at the Radisson downtown Miami and it was great!!!!) Does anyone every remember the Omni Mall? Fond memories! jack & erlinda
