This, my third cruise and first on NCL, was the best vacation I have ever had. The Norwegian Majesty is a truly wonderful ship, inside and out.

Embarkation is a breeze and only lasted 10 minutes. Once onboard the ship, my cabin was easy to find. I dropped off my bags and headed for the
lunch buffet. The food quality and variety of choice was far better than I expected. There were plenty of tables to sit at and the atmosphere was
great!

The cleanliness of the ship made an impression and the quality of service from all crewmembers was outstanding. It was more the rule, than the
exception, to have passing crewmembers say hello and to ask how the cruise was going.

Since there were very few negative aspects of the cruise I will list them here:

1. I found the lack of ship services information in the cabin disappointing. At times, it seemed you had to really do your legwork to find out about
certain things. 2. The pool deck and space was a bit crowded. 3. If you want a beach towel by the pool, you'd better get one as soon as possible.
They quickly get taken.

Some tips:

1. If you prefer quiet deck time, try out the aft deck on Deck 8 (where the table tennis is). It is a quiet and relaxing outdoor deck compared to the
pool area. (Except for when skeet shooting is taking place). 2. Try to time your shower at 'off peak' times - the water pressure is better. 3. All
staterooms have nice ironing boards, however, there are no irons on-board. The ironing boards are a Majesty Cruise Lines leftover. If you need
something pressed, make sure you give it to your room steward/stewardess no later than 9:00am. 4. The Rendezvous Lounge is a great place to
get cocktails before dinner. Great views and very quiet. This is also the best place to be on the last day as the line for disembarkation begins here. 5.
Due to limited space and design, the Majesty lacks two NCL signature items: a full-scale Broadway production and a Sports Bar. However, the
entertainment was great and the lack of a Sports Bar is made up for by a number of great lounges.

Overall, this was a great cruise and a tremendous value. The ship, service, food, and entertainment were fantastic!
