[edit] Scale Model

A 1/8 scale model of the Majesty of the Seas was built in Morsbach, by François Zanella. The miniature was launched in 2005.

[edit] Itineraries

Majesty of the Seas is routinely used by Royal Caribbean on a 7-day cycle that includes two weekly voyages. Four night cruises operate every Monday thru Friday from the Port of Miami, stopping at Nassau, Coco Cay (a private island owned by Royal Caribbean), and Key West. A three night cruise follows to Nassau and Coco Cay only each weekend.

[edit] Features

Her features include the line-trademark Viking Crown Lounge overlooking the pool and sun decks. The ship has an onboard casino and 11 passenger elevators, two of which are glass-walled. Onboard bars include the Schooner Bar, A Touch of Class Champagne Bar, Blue Skies Lounge, Paint Your Wagon Lounge, On Your Toes Nightclub, Windjammer Café, and the Pool Bar. There are also two swimming pools, two hot tubs, a basketball court, and a rock climbing wall.

[edit] Refurbishment

On January 12, 2007, the Majesty of the Seas entered a 4 week dry-dock period where she endured a multi-million dollar refurbishment of the pool decks, all public areas, restaurants, shops, centrums, and cabins. Additions include new restaurants, cabins, concierge lounge, and other Royal Caribbean Amenities.
