🌸 Majestic Princess Review: My Real Sailing, Honest Impressions, and Why I Rebooked It

If you’re trying to decide whether Majestic Princess is the right ship for your next cruise, welcome to my happy place. I cruise Princess a lot (thanks to casino offers stacked with points and miles), and Majestic is one of the ships I’ve already sailed more than once — right alongside Sky, Sun, and Enchanted.

I’m not someone who rebooks every ship. I rebook the ships I genuinely love — the ones that fit the way I travel, the ones that feel comfortable, and the ones that make cruising easy.

Majestic is one of those ships.

I keep my reviews honest, practical, and based on real experience. No sugarcoating. No influencer gloss. Just what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d book again.


⭐ Why I Booked Majestic Princess Again

When I was talking to a friend about why we should choose Majestic for our next cruise, I realized how many things I genuinely love about this ship:


  • Ramen on the buffet (yes, it’s good — and yes, I got it multiple nights)

  • More indoor relaxing areas than any other Princess ship I’ve sailed

  • Quiet corners everywhere — perfect for reading, working, or escaping crowds

  • A cozy, comfortable vibe that feels different from the other Royal‑class ships

  • Great casino layout and consistently strong offers- smoke-free casino!

  • Group‑friendly dining — everyone was happy, every night

Majestic is one of my personal favorites, and it’s the ship I recommend when someone wants a relaxing, comfortable Princess experience with tons of indoor space.

⭐ I’m Not a Buffet Girl… But Majestic Changed That

I am not normally a buffet person. I’m usually the “give me a sit‑down dinner and a menu” girl every single time.

But on Majestic Princess?

I ended up at the buffet four of the seven nights — and I would absolutely do it again.

Here’s why:

  • The ramen station was SO good

  • The variety worked perfectly for the group I was traveling with

  • Everyone could grab what they wanted and be happy

  • It made evenings feel easy and relaxed

  • No waiting, no rushing, no pressure

Majestic has one of the best buffet setups I’ve experienced on any Princess ship — and that’s coming from someone who normally avoids buffets.

⭐ Majestic vs Sky, Royal & Enchanted (Royal‑Class Comparison)

I’m a big Royal‑class girl — Sky, Royal, Majestic, and Enchanted are all ships I’d happily sail again. But Majestic stands out because:

  • Sky Princess → best for sea days + modern feel

  • Royal Princess → best for Alaska itineraries

  • Enchanted Princess → best for Mediterranean itineraries

  • Majestic Princess → best indoor spaces + cozy vibe + ramen + casino layout

If you love the Royal‑class layout but want a ship that feels extra comfortable and “homey,” Majestic is the one.



⭐ OceanNow on Majestic Princess

Majestic’s OceanNow performance has improved since my last sailing — faster delivery, better accuracy, and fewer glitches.

🚢 Curious how OceanNow works on other ships? My full guide is here: OceanNow Hub.



⭐ Casino Offers & Points Earned

Majestic has one of my favorite casino layouts in the fleet — spacious, easy to navigate, and consistently strong offers.

🎰 If you’re using casino offers (or want to start), here’s my full Princess Casino Strategy Hub.

⭐ Even If You’re Not Into Casino Offers…

I talk a lot about casino deals because they’re a huge part of how I cruise so often — but even if you never touch the casino, my other strategies can still save you hundreds on every sailing.

I’ve helped my parents (a retired couple in their 70s) use points and miles for:

  • pre‑cruise hotels

  • flights

  • positioning flights

  • onboard savings

  • excursions

  • airport lounges

And my dad recently booked his first casino cruise using points — I share the whole story in my retiree series.

⭐ Plus vs Premier: What I Chose on Majestic

I don’t always buy the drink package — and I don’t think everyone should. It depends on:

  • who I’m traveling with

  • the itinerary

  • how many sea days there are

  • whether I’m working onboard

  • whether I’m cruising solo

🍹 Not sure whether Plus or Premier is worth it? My full comparison is here: Plus vs Premier Comparison.



⭐ What’s Changed Since I Sailed

Princess has updated menus, OceanNow features, and casino offers since my last Majestic sailing. I’ll update this section again after my 2027 cruise, but here’s what’s new so far:

  • Updated buffet rotation

  • Improved OceanNow delivery times

  • New casino offers for 2026–2027

  • Updated specialty dining menus

I’ll add more details after my next sailing — Majestic is officially back on my calendar.



⭐ What I’d Book Again on Majestic Princess

  • The buffet (yes, really)

  • The ramen station

  • The indoor relaxing spaces

  • The casino layout

  • The quiet corners

  • The group‑friendly dining flow

  • The Royal‑class comfort
