Hi Mary -
it's me - Rhonda. Just using a different name on this site. Having a problem on the other site - are you?
Hi Rhonda
No I am having no problems on the other board, I found this area through a friend and just use both sites to learn and make friends. I read on the board here I am not the only one who reads both boards and I am glad. I don't join the BASHING group as that is not part of my personality. Besides I want our Meet and Greet to be the best, that is why I posted both places. I made a nice group of friends on this board for a cruise on Oct 4th then I had to change to the 11th, and no one is posting to either. Bummer
See you at home on CC where our roll call is going well. I am working on special name tags. I found a program to help
Take care
Mary
we will be on board-a little anxious since we are celeberity/rccl cruisers-never on ncl-have read mixed reviews but this is the only way to get 4 days in bemuda-we agree that we won't be cooking and cleaning, so how bad can it be?
Hi Racerqueen,
My name is Mary, I have arranged a meet and greet with the Majesty, a group of us (last count 17, will be getting together) we met on a forum like this one. We are meeting on Sunday, 10:00 A.M. in the House of Lords, Deck 5 Forward this is on Port side by Jewelery.
You are very much welcome to join us. It should be lots of fun, we have a few things planned and we get to meet some of the staff. The only thing I would need from you is you and your traveling friends first name, for name tags, and if you are celebrating anything.
Bermuda is going to be wonderful I can't wait. I have never been on the Majesty but I have been talking to people who have and they love it. I chose to read the positive reviews so that I don't get worrying about things that might not happen to me. I don't want to ruin my vacation before I get there. I have been on the Jewel twice and the Pride of America. We love the freestyle, if you have any questions just write, I would love to help if I can.
Take care
Mary
I absolutely had a great time on the September 20th cruise. i did not know about cruise mates until now when I hopped online fantasizing about having another opportunity to return to Bermuda soon! The staff were excellent. A few times we experienced rudeness from the web cafe manager who thought we were looking at his computer screen when we thought we were looking at advertising for the web cafe, the jewelry store manager who when i told him I had a coupon stated, 'let me see it'., and then told me since we got a 50% discount we were not qualified for a l0.00 off coupon and a staffer that thought i was 'walking' away with his towels who later realized that we normally did not ask for towels as we were given very nice towels and robes in our rooms. We were treated quite well otherwise and I would not go without a suite ever! We were on the 6th floor and our suite was rather 'small' compared to the online pictures but we were treated exceptionally well and felt a true connection with a few of the staff! Francione, our Con siege was absolutely charming and helpful, Dom, our room steward was a truly sweet guy and a very hard worker, Estella from the Bistro was absolutely wonderful. She called me 'madame' so many times i began to call her Mademoiselle. Sam is awesome - the cruise director and George from one of the bands is an absolute riot! The crew work extremely hard, make a LOT OF SACRIFICES missing their families for 9 months at a time, and are extremely accommodating. i was so happy to be bsck in a multicultural environment. My greek irish background just fit right in and we had a lovely time. A great time.. oh and one more thing. There was an adorable English officer , probably the navigator, on our return . Single girls should only be so lucky! Married women should sweetly say, hello and keep on moving!! Sweet sailing!
Majesty to Bermuda…9/20/08
Let me start by telling you all that this was my first NCL cruise, but my 37th since 5/86 and I am not in the travel business. We are Celebrity/RCCL people!!!.....some of the reviews I read prior to sailing made me wonder why I was making the mistake of sailing w/NCL and esp. on the Majesty….I am glad I tried her for myself!!!!!
SHIP: loved everything about her….her size was perfect…being small she held the rough seas very well…she was older but I found her to be well maintained and most charming
CABIN: 907...upgrade..from larger outside…size was perfect…the bed was most comfortable…the bathroom was a great size…loved all the windows in the living room area and the window in the bedroom area…the attendants were excellent, kept the ice buckets and towels refreshed often…first cabin that was an excellent temp…I am always warm and can never get a cabin that gets cool enough, but this cabin was perfect and we did not have her as cold as she could be set....have had the FAMILY suite and JR suites on RCCL Explorer, Majesty and Voyager and a SKY suite on the Constellation as well as several balcony cabins but have never had one cool enough for me…I keep the AC @ 69 at home and heat at 63 during the day and 58 at night, so you know how important COOL is to me…my husband wears 1-2 flannel shirts most of the time esp. in the winter
FOOD/SERVICE…free style is for us…..don’t know how the servers managed in the dining rooms, since they were always turning the tables over as soon as they were cleaned…if you have 2 seatings, you know there will be 2 rushes and be able to control serving at each tables…sometimes we got our courses in the wrong order, but who cares….someone cooked it, served it and cleaned up after we were through and IT WASN’T ME!!! The serves kept on apologizing for this but we just smiled and said….WE ARE ON VACATION AND ARE IN NO HURRY!!! ….we wait for food when we go out to eat in NJ so what’s the issue if we wait a few minutes for such an outstanding meal when we are on vacation?....as for flip flops in the dining rooms, I couldn’t tell you what people were wearing and I didn’t care!....what you wear has no impact on my vacation or meal whatsoever!!!....one night we ate outside and we were so comfortable in our dressed down clothes but eating dressed up food!!!!
ENTERTAINMENT….usually don’t do the shows, but the cruise director JOHN, was the best...don’t miss SAM the comedian and esp. SYLVIA the ventriloquist….don’t miss the crew talent show that was one of the finest ideas ever!!!!
OVERALL…. I’m at the “Elite” level with Celebrity and the “Diamond” level with Royal Caribbean and found this service to be far superior…everyone was so friendly yet remained professional….we have already booked the Majesty for next year and are sorry she is leaving the fleet….we are sailing the EXPLORER on 12/12 from Bayonne and I am sorry we are not going on the DAWN from NY…..I am sold on NCL after just 1 cruise!!!....we did not dock at the main dock, but they explained they were doing maintenance—we found out/witnessed them working on the lifeboats and I am comfortable knowing the life boats are fit to run GOD FORBID if needed
We met up with the Cruise Critic group and want to thank MARY for doing a wonderful job in organizing everything!!!! We also had dinner on the last night and they had no problem seating/serving 22 of us in the Seven Seas.
If you want charm, cleanliness, excellent service and outstanding service, give the Majesty a try…and don’t forget…she’s the only one offering 3 overnights in Bermuda!!!!
