Reviewer read

A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on embarkation.

Majestic Princess rates higher overall than 47% of the ships we track. Ship quality is its strongest showing. The weak spot is embarkation.

The one caution

8.2out of 10 for embarkation

Higher than only 31% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.44.

Of the 579 reviewers who wrote about it, 66% were positive.

Everything else, in two lines

Eight are good without being remarkable: ship quality, fitness, public areas, cabins, activities, disembarkation, value and dining. They rate higher than 50% to 83% of ships.

Three fall below the fleet: entertainment (higher than only 45% of ships), service (higher than only 36% of ships) and embarkation (higher than only 31% of ships).

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 74 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.64 and 9.05. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
