If there is one lesson I've learned over the 18 plus cruises is...don't judge a ship by it's looks..lol (or a person for that matter) We sailed on a brand new and magnificent ship..gorgeous, cabins and closets big enough for all my luggage, an atrium with a glass staircase and glass views everywhere, but the service was indifferent, food disappointing and let's not even talk about entertainment and attitude of the staff.. Give me a smaller ship like the Majesty or perhaps the Nordic Empress (haven't been on that), the NCL Sea or the late Sea and Ocean Breeze....We could not wait to get off the "new" ship fast enough to run back to our smaller ships...You will find that the smaller ships have hearts of gold, the staff actually seems to care.. I now know that the Nordic Empress and the Majesty will be phased out on their trips to Bermuda within the next four years and larger ships will be used.. It saddens me and many others who don't want to take two days to find the dining room and by the time you learn your way around the ship or even get from one end to another...your back home.. I do k now from past cruisers I've met that the Nordic Empress is a wonderful ship and they make fantastic piazza..lol.. I do know that the Majesty will be refurbished in October, but right now as a friend has told me she saw them replacing the carpeting... Once your in beautiful Bermuda....it won't matter.. We are working on a special cruise for a special anniversary and the line has under 1000 passengers...
