The Royal Caribbean-Majesty of the Seas Trip July 2nd to 6th.

It was a wonderful trip and I would definitely go again but most likely on a newer, much bigger boat! I would rate this place accordingly:
Service: 4/5

Room cleanliness: 4/5
Food: 4/5

Fun level: 2.5/5
Pool Deck: 3/5
Ease of going in/out of cruise: 3.5/5
Islands: of course 5/5

Overall Beauty and First time Experience: 4/5

I really enjoyed every part of going on this cruise. It was a 4 night/ 5 day trip cruise at cost of just under 400 bucks (added flights round trip lowest price guaranteed at also just 380 something. It was very last minute and considering that it needed to be planned for 6 people, we all made the schedule perfectly.

Every one has to experience being on a cruise at least once in their lives. It is just like being in the movie titanic. Everything is just elegant, grandoise, and all very new. A big hotel in the seas I would definitely call it.
There is a floor for entertainment like watching live shows. Casino rooms, different restaurants and areas to shop! For the most part the vacation was spent offboard the ship on the islands, and we would come back to the cruiseship near end of day to shower, have nice dinners, sleep comfortably (with sooo cold and comforatble air conditioning) and start a new day over again.

I enjoy their breakfasts. Unlike most other people opting for the quick grab and go breakfast buffets, we enjoy ours ordering and sitting together to wait for our food. It is nice to be part of the wonderful experience using services like these. Days usually start early, getting ready and packing for the big day out in the ports of arrival.

**Each day before getting off and back on the cruise ship, everyone needs to be beeped out (with our cards) and beeped back on the ship before a certain time of day. This one card we carry is important and is used for billing anything on board from towel rentals to drinks, shopping, food and more. It is also a key card to our rooms. So we always made sure we had it on us. A mandatory alarm/drill (once) is done to ensure safety of all people on board.

Here is our itinerary:

Start at Port of Miami

Nassau, Bahamas
Cayo Coco Bay
Key West Florida
Miami last day 

Every night is sit-in dinner at 6:30 pm, while the 3rd night is Formal dinner night where everyone gets dressed and have a very nice dinner, take pictures and see everyone about dressed beautifully and enjoying the evening. All the dinners were yummy, except for that one sea bass fish I ordered which tasted a bit dry (not used to non-asian prepared fish dishes). All of us would set-up times to meet in the main lobby before the day begins and for meeting at dinner times. It was a well-relaxed and rounded vacation with many opportunities to enjoy, sit-back and take in the wonderful scenery on and off the cruise.

Evening nights would be spent outside on the pool deck chilling on the lounge chairs, drinking fancy island cocktails, staring at the moon while at the cruise sails at sea. The breeze was relaxing at night and most definitely cooler than the daytime.

Evenings are always fun and filled with lots of excitement because everyone is back from their day on a new island each day and have smiles on their faces. Some people appear burned from the hot sweltering sun or not being careful from wearing sunblock. Almost as red as roast pigs! :D Always I would keep in mind to reapply sunblock.


Here is how my trip went as I remember it:

Day 1: 

arrival at MIA, took taxi to Port of Miami, had late lunch near port
lobby arrival onto cruiseship, first time in lobby, got to our state rooms, exploring ship

dinner at 6:30pm, chilled on pool deck, set sail leaving port, drinks, luggage arrival to rooms,dinner at 6:30pm, Chris and I got stateroom 4511, everybody else was paired up but we were all on the same level but further away from eachother. Luckily our hall was nice and quiet.

Day 2:

arrival early morning to Nassau, Bahamas.
early buffet breakfast, packed and out of cruisehip.
got off and looked for tour person to take us around Nassau,
We got a tour of historical landmarks in Nassau, some beers while in the car and to walk around with.
Toured a famous resort/hotel that Micheal Jackson used to always go to.
Ended at the beach known as Cabbage Beach. It was so nice and relaxing.
Evening at around 5pm go back on cruise ship get ready for dinner, meet up at 6:30 for casual dinner.
set sail to Cayo Coco Bay. Chilled on pool deck late at night and enjoyed a Mango raspberry vodka drink. Soo strong and yummy ;)

Day 3: arrival at CocoCay in morning.
got off island, rented snorkel vest and fins.
Walked off far away from the packed beach to a much less crowded beach area (which was sooo nice).
Lounged around alll day :D and swam in the super clear waters and walked around the silky smooth sands. Me and Chris headed out to snorkel there first and decided to go to the Snorkel Dive waters where we snorkeled for 1-2 hours and saw many fishes, corals. I got stung by coral by accidentally grabbing hold of one, same with chris too. But the tingle went away after 3 hours :P. Damn that was close! Had late lunch at 1pm ourselves after not being able to meet up on time with family. Food was soo yummmmyy. BBQ ribs and other meats, veggies, pastas salads, fresh lemonade. Seagulls are everywhere, I got shat on my shoulder. Guy next to me said it was good luck, but I was disgusted by warm wet bird poo on my left shoulder. LOL.
Evening was Formal night so we all dressed up for dinner, took pictures after and had fun. Watched a live entertainment juggling act show with everyone. Later in evening I had late night munchies so went to diner room to have 2 slices of Sorrento's Pizzaaaa. MMmm and a Blue Lagoon fancy alcoholic beveridge :)

Day 4: Arrival at Key West in morning

walked along port all day, exploration of town by foot and it was a sweltering hot day so we walked into shoppes along our routes. Did some shopping! Had Cheap beers and have it while walking in streets. Awesome or what? I got a beautiful feathered conch and large starfish as souvenir. :) Tried Key West famous Key Lime Pie at Key West Key Lime Pie Shoppe. It was so tasty! we got back to our ship in time to get ready for dinner. Last casual dinner. Explored more of ship with Chris alone, had a fancy drink and enjoyed a live comedy show! Last night on cruiseship :(

Day 5: Arrival at Miami sea port in morning, leave to Toronto

Had Wing's friend pick us up and help tour around Miami,
IT was a short day but just enough to explore a bit of SouthBeach.
We all met up at Nikki Beach (a very rich, beautiful lounge outdoors with patio). Did walk along beach, got reallyyy hot, so we decided to walk on the boardwalk instead. Sightseeing by foot, walked all the way to 20th street. Day ended by taking taxi back to Airport to board.
If I had time, I would definitely come back :)

Next time I would definitely have a week-long cruise on a much bigger ship with more activities. But overall it was extravagant and I would do it all over again.
