13-Day Northern Europe and United Kingdom Cruise aboard the MAJESTIC PRINCESS

I bought a Future Cruise Package rather reluctantly. The entire process has been unbelievably great! Everyone was helpful beyond expectation with hotel reservations, perks from the package, and I just received a refund check promptly from the cruise line for expenses not used!

The cruise was great, food could be improved a little- sorry. The pizza was delicious and always hot. Hamburger meat needs a lot of improvement. One was enough for me, and hubby refused to eat all of his. Spoke to a chef about it, but you know that probably stopped there:)

Excursions and tenders were fine with us. We unfortunately missed Edinburgh because water was too rough for tenders. That was the main reason we had booked the British Isles Cruise.

Staff and cleanliness awesome. We have booked a second cruise and looking forward to it!

We were not looking for lots of entertainment or activities. They were available if you wanted it.

The cruise had many port stops and only 2 days at sea. I felt it was very busy and would have enjoyed another day at sea. Especially in the beginning. The food was ok but not fantastic. I am celiac and the they were very accommodating. I do think the deserts are very lacking. They were almost always ice cream, mousse, or rice pudding. The English tea was terrible. The gluten free scones were like sawdust. The international cafe was so disappointing. Never a gluten free savory and always a rice pudding or mouse for the gluten free option. It would be nice to have cookies or cake. There were some chocolate chip cookies on the buffet but they were often gone. The breakfast at the buffet was great. I ate an omelet every day. Poor gluten free options for pancakes or French toast. The weather was fantastic so watching the World Cup games around the pool was super fun. The ship supplied blankets on the chilly nights. I love the burger and fries around the pool. One of my favorite things for lunch. Overall the ship was good, entertainment was ok and the ports were great.

The ship was good. Too many children for me but they all received excellent entertainment. Lots of laughter everywhere.

Food was very good and the wine was very nice.

Our cabin had a major leak the first night and they moved us.

The ports of call were all interesting.

I would have liked more talks, or enrichment.

There wasn’t a great deal of educational value.

Plenty of dancers and lovely shows. Some of the singers were incredible.

I’d say they did a great job with their restaurants. The specialty dining areas. Most of them were incredibly noisy with all the loud entertainment from every conceivable corner. Not ideal for older people who would like a little peace and quiet now and then. The Italian restaurant was the quiet place. We ended up eating there several times.

You could tell the staff were overworked. Busy busy busy. Anyway it was actually a fill in cruise before my uniworld river cruise and it turned out to be much more enjoyable than uniworld. So thank you majestic princess, you surprise me at how much I enjoyed the cruise.
