Majestic Princess revamp superb new spaces added

So, especially if you're new to cruising, let’s first talk about what is included in the basic price of a cruise on board the Royal Class Majestic Princess, a more than apt name for this sumptu-ous 3,560-guest, 18-deck, 143,700-tonner.

Gleaming chrome and polished timbers abound, with elegant and contemporary decor, flooring and furnishings continually inspiring your awe and eliciting your gasps at every turn.

All guests can expect a comfortable en-suite state-room, complimentary dining at the three main waiter-service dining rooms Allegro, Symphony and Concerto and the World Fresh Market place buffet, open from 6.30am until late for continuous consuming (note: take elasticated trousers). Coffee, tea, tap water, lemon-ade, iced tea, and juices are also included.

The fabled Princess entertainment, including daily activities and West End-quality stage shows in the Princess Theater, also form part of your fare, as is the MedallionClass experience, incorporating a wearable device.
