About the Ship

What Travelers Say About Majestic Princess

Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Majestic Princess sailing. Based on 350 discussions.

Majestic Princess is the odd sibling of the Royal class - built in 2017 for the Chinese market, then a long-time Australia and Alaska favorite - and travelers talk about her differences as features, not bugs. In place of the fee-based Sanctuary and SeaWalk found on sisters like Discovery Princess, she has the free Hollywood Conservatory, a glass-walled indoor garden with cabanas, and the dome-covered Hollywood Pool Club. That indoor real estate makes her one of the best-suited big ships for cool-climate cruising, and the vibe is classic Princess: calm, service-led, and more about food, wine, and live music in the Piazza than deck-top thrills.

What People Love

  • The Hollywood Conservatory and glass-domed Hollywood Pool Club are the ship's secret weapon - a free, climate-controlled solarium with cabanas and an indoor lap pool that travelers say no other Princess ship matches in cool-weather regions
  • Two Michelin-pedigree specialty restaurants set it apart: Bistro Sur La Mer from 3-Michelin-star chef Emmanuel Renaut and Harmony, widely called the best Cantonese food at sea
  • MedallionClass tech consistently earns praise - the wearable disc unlocks your cabin hands-free, tracks kids, and delivers drinks to wherever you're sitting

Common Complaints

  • The Princess Theatre is undersized for 3,500+ passengers - reviewers warn you must arrive 30+ minutes early or stand for popular production shows
  • No traditional wraparound promenade deck, which long-time Princess loyalists miss for sea-day walking
  • Standard interior and balcony cabins run small for the class, and storage feels tight for couples on longer itineraries
