Life on board the Majestic Princess

This ship is the biggest and newest ship of the Princess lines and has the fame of being the biggest ship to traverse the Suez to date.

We were very fortunate to be upgraded from an interior cabin to an obstructed view balcony, just aft of mid ships on deck 8.  Wha Hoo! Great deck, great location and cabin. E801. It can be made into a four person cabin with bunks which drop down from the ceiling.  The fridge worked a treat as it had a good area around it for ventilation. As I am Elite status our mini bar was set up ready when we arrived. The TV is positioned on the wall facing the head of our beds which is ideal for watching TV whilst in bed. I don't know how it would work if the bunk beds were down, as I don't think anyone would see the screen.

The ship has quite a few speciality restaurants, Le Mar, Alfredo's Pizzeria, Harmony, Crown Grill plus 2 dining on decks 5 & 6 with a set dining retaurant on deck 6, aft. The usual buffet on deck 16 which has lots, and I mean lots of serving areas for passengers to place the food on their plates. A lot of these areas are repeated throughout the buffet area. In the middle of the buffet is what is called The Bakery which serves buns and various pastries at breakfast, then pre made sandwiches, various bread rolls and cakes for lunch then at dinner time cakes and rolls. There are the outside grills and free swirls icecream.

The Princess Theatre holds 1270 people for the shows with the Vista Gaming hosting similar. The Vista Gaming actually has tables set up permanantly to cater for those who play cards/games. There is no bar here to serve drinks.

The Atrium on deck 5 hosted a lot of dance classes and trivia events. There is a small theatre which would set about 300 people for (televised in the cabins at a later time) events, be it cooking demostrations, who am I and trivia.
