NCL Majesty

I'm planning a cruise on the Majesty. Does anyone have information about the suites on deck 9? I have been told that the suites have a private area on the sky deck accessable only by the room keys? Is this true. Also, does anyone know how often the Majesty has had to abort the Grand Cayman portion of the cruise due to rough sea? I would appreciate any and all information about the Majesty. Thanks

While I can't help you with the suite info, and btw, that sounds wonderful. Grand Cayman is a port which can be hit or miss..Even in good weather, the seas can be rough enough to prevent them from tendering. We once docked on the other side of the island, I guess maybe the seas can be calmer there, and then we tendered..

My last 2 cruises, I missed this port, though not due to rough seas..NY eve I was ill, and they had 7 in ships that day!! Last month, it poured SO hard, we decided to stay onboard.

If you do get there, enjoy it. It's a beautiful island, pricey, yes, but we loved it.

Boston, where the Majesty was much loved for the May- Oct Bermuda sailings, was saddened to lose her...the Dream will take her place. We toured her twice, and know you will enjoy her.

We have sailed the Majesty 12 times and have always enjoyed sailing on her. We have booked a suite only once and it was very nice but there was no private area for people in suites at that time. I doubt such an area exists on ship that small.
Have a great cruise.

the Majesty is in dry dock in Boston for refurbishment right now !!!

Thanks for the replys.
I had wondered with the rough sea at times whether the Grand Cayman was aborted. We want to see and do everything we can cram into 7 days. 8) Don't mind the price as along as it doesn't involve being stuck on the ship watching the waves.
Thans Bob for the info on the refurbishing. It will be great to have "new stuff" on the ship.
I'm also glad to hear that NCL have installed dispensers for cleaning hands at all the restaurants. We can't be too careful anymore with all the virus' etc. floating around.

When I booked the fellow at NCL told me about the "private area" on the sky deck for the suites on deck 9. I called back later to ask another question and talked to a different person who said there balconies. I knew that was not true.....so am really wondering what is fact or fiction about other questions I had asked.

hi i just got back last week and i stayed in 934. there is a deck at the end of the hall next to the kids corner but you dont need a room key and its not very big but your one floor down from the top deck very peaseful at night all decks are open no special ones i dont know about the grand cayman thing the water is rough there though and before they abort they would just change port time. hope that helps and say hi to dj frankco at 52 for me Shena
