Frequently Asked Questions
Majestic Princess measures 144,216 GT, 330 m long and 38.4 m wide, across 19 numbered decks with 15 open to guests. She carries 3,560 guests at double occupancy in 1,780 cabins, 81% with a balcony, with around 1,346 crew. Her hull is identical to Royal Princess, but she measures about 1,500 tons more and stands more than two metres taller than her sisters, 224 ft against 217: that is the enclosed volume added on deck 17 to roof the Hollywood Pool Club. Princess itself publishes 143,700 GT.
The 3,560 is double occupancy, two per cabin; the roughly 4,270 counts every fold-down berth in use. On this ship the gap bites less than elsewhere in the class, because her current itineraries run 12, 13 and 15 days out of Southampton and draw few large families. One more thing worth correcting: Majestic Princess was not built in China. She left the Fincantieri yard at Monfalcone, Italy, on 30 March 2017; it was her fit-out, not her construction, that was designed for the Chinese market.
She was designed to be based in Shanghai year-round, and it still shows everywhere. She keeps the deck 17 SeaWalk like Royal and Regal, but she is the only ship in the class with the Hollywood Pool Club, a pool roofed by a glass dome so you can swim out of the sun, paired with the Hollywood Conservatory garden under glass. Down on deck 5 you still find Harmony, the Chinese restaurant whose Cantonese menu was built with Michelin-starred chef Richard Chen, the private Sing On The Sea karaoke suites, and the French bistro La Mer. Deck 16 keeps a Noodle Bar, a Lobster Grill and an East Meets West counter, a combination no other Princess ship carries.
She spends summer 2026 at Southampton on 12- and 13-day loops around the British Isles and into Northern Europe, through early September. She then crosses to New York, 27 days from 7 September or 15 days from 19 September. Through October she runs five 8-day round trips from New York, on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st, inside the Canada and New England window. On 7 November she works down to Fort Lauderdale in 13 days, then leaves the northern hemisphere on 19 November for an 18-day run to Buenos Aires.
She opens 2027 in South America, on 17-day round trips from Buenos Aires in January, following a 15-day Buenos Aires to San Antonio voyage that starts 8 December 2026 and rounds Cape Horn. On 10 February she heads back to Southampton in 22 days, then works Europe from March to October 2027 on 13- and 15-day loops out of Southampton. She turns south again on 16 and 30 October 2027. For flights: Southampton is a nonstop to London from Montréal plus roughly 90 minutes by road or rail from Heathrow; Buenos Aires has no nonstop from Montréal, so you connect through Toronto or a South American hub, spend a night in the air, and should land two days before embarkation.
On 12- to 15-day British Isles sailings a balcony earns its keep less than it does in the Caribbean, because it rains, it blows, and you will not sit out often. A Deluxe Balcony, categories D4, DA or DB, is the sensible compromise since it adds two armchairs indoors; failing that, an MA or MB mini-suite gives you a real sitting area, which changes everything in bad weather. For South America and Cape Horn, take a side balcony rather than an aft one, and stay midship on deck 10 Caribe or deck 11 Baja. Interior categories IA through IF are perfectly sound if your money is better spent on shore excursions than on a view.
Her line-up is the most unusual in the fleet. Included in the fare: the main dining rooms, the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, the 24-hour International Café, Alfredo's pizzeria and its Alfredo's Slice counter on the pool deck, the Salty Dog Cafe, O'Malley's Irish Pub, Swirls ice cream, and, straight from the Chinese-market brief, the Noodle Bar and the East Meets West counter. Extra-charge: Crown Grill, Sabatini's, the Chinese restaurant Harmony, the French bistro La Mer, Ocean Terrace, Crab Shack and Chef's Table Lumiere. Bars are Crooners and the Wheelhouse Bar on deck 7, Bellini's, Vines on deck 5 and Good Spirits at Sea. Attractions: the SeaWalk, the domed Hollywood Pool Club, the Hollywood Conservatory, the Sing On The Sea karaoke suites, the adults-only Sanctuary, The Enclave at Lotus Spa, the Princess Theater, Princess Live and Movies Under the Stars.
The class faults are compounded here by a layout built for a different clientele. Deck 7, called Promenade, offers no full outdoor lap of the ship, and the walking track sits up on deck 18. Balconies are narrow, the stepped aft staterooms are overlooked from above, and deck 16 saturates on sea days. Then there is the Majestic's own issue: several Shanghai-era spaces now run empty or on reduced hours, the karaoke suites first among them, and the glass-roofed Hollywood Pool Club that works beautifully in the North Atlantic turns stifling in South America. Have your advisor confirm that Harmony and La Mer are actually operating on your departure, because their scheduling varies by season.
Included: your cabin, the main dining rooms, the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, the International Café, Alfredo's and Alfredo's Slice, the Salty Dog Cafe, the Noodle Bar, ice cream, Princess Theater shows, Movies Under the Stars, the pools including the Hollywood Pool Club, and the gym. Extra: alcohol and specialty coffees, Wi-Fi, crew appreciation, shore excursions, valet laundry, The Sanctuary, The Enclave, the karaoke suites, and the Crown Grill, Sabatini's, Harmony and La Mer tables. Princess folds part of that into the Princess Plus and Princess Premier bundles. On a 13-day sailing from Southampton the arithmetic differs from a Caribbean week: 1-866-628-6241.
They are outside the base fare. A daily Crew Appreciation charge is posted to your onboard account, scaled to stateroom category, and a service percentage is added to every bar order. Both are prepaid if you book Princess Plus or Princess Premier. On Majestic's long itineraries, 13 days round the British Isles or 22 days between Buenos Aires and Southampton, that charge multiplies by the number of nights and becomes a genuine budget line: it is the first number to have calculated before you choose between a bare fare and a bundle.
Princess sells two bundles rather than a standalone drink package. Princess Plus covers fifteen drinks a day under a per-drink ceiling, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water, one connected device, a few casual meals and prepaid crew appreciation. Princess Premier drops the daily count, raises the ceiling, adds four devices, unlimited specialty dining, digital photos and a reserved theatre section. On board, your regular stops will be Crooners and the Wheelhouse Bar on deck 7, Vines on deck 5, and the Hollywood Pool Club bar. Over 13 days the gap between the two bundles widens quickly: have it worked out at 1-866-628-6241.
The Medallion is a disc worn on the wrist or around the neck that replaces the cabin card: the door unlocks as you approach, purchases clear with photo verification, boarding is faster, and OceanNow brings your order to wherever you are, including under the Hollywood Pool Club dome. MedallionNet handles video calls and streaming, and stays chargeable outside the bundles. The irritants: the app and the pre-cruise steps are compulsory before you travel, the disc tracks your position on board because that is what makes delivery work, and having the Medallion mailed to your home is chargeable while collecting it at the terminal is not. On the long South American crossings, days from any coast, it is also your only link home, and the bandwidth is shared among 3,500 people.
Less so than her sisters, and that is about itineraries rather than facilities. The youth rooms are on deck 17, split from 3 to 7, from 8 to 12, and the Remix Lounge & Disco for 13 to 17. But 13-day British Isles loops in May, a 22-day February crossing to Southampton or a rounding of Cape Horn attract almost no families. If you are travelling with children and you want this class of ship, Regal Princess in the Caribbean or Sky Princess out of Port Canaveral are far better fits.
This ship moves the counter through days rather than cruise count. Gold comes with your first cruise, Ruby at three cruises or thirty cruise days, Platinum at five cruises or fifty days, Elite at fifteen cruises or a hundred and fifty. Two 13-day sailings plus a 22-day crossing from Buenos Aires already put you at Platinum on the day count while only three cruises sit in your file. Booking a suite or sailing solo earns double credit. The benefits that matter, complimentary self-service laundry and priority embarkation, arrive at Platinum.
It depends heavily on which season you choose. Around the British Isles the Irish Sea and the Bay of Biscay move, especially in May and September, and a 13-day loop is bound to cross part of it. The September 2026 crossing to New York and the February 2027 crossing to Southampton are open-ocean passages. The most demanding stretch is the December 2026 run down to Cape Horn, among the roughest water in the world even on a 330 m hull with stabilizers. Book midship on a lower deck, start the tablets the day before, and avoid cabins well forward on deck 15.
