jedimaster1227 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 This past weekend, my family and I went on the Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Sea cruise to CocoCay and Nasau. The ship was in its second week of operation since its return from dry dock where it was worked on and changed in some ways. These changes were noticable as I had been on the same cruise on the same ship less than two years before. From waverunning at CocoCay to a "mini-monsoon" in Nasau, our adventures were definitely unforgettable. Some of these pictures can justify why... The view from our room on deck 2... The opening night's show was fairly decent-for a cruise show... "I am Atlas, hear me roar! Oh, and go Gators!!!" They had a funky musician on the boat... All of the games were lame except for this one... Time Crisis 4! The magical hoodie returns! Ooh! A game room...with some pretty lame games... I decided to pass on the basketball for today. The rock wall hasn't changed... One of the pools wasn't ready... Out on the deck before departure... They have a Johnny Rockets on the ship?!?! No way!!! Now, there is a Sorrento's pizzaria on the ship! Welcome to the Majesty of the Sea.
CK Media Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Cool. The only time I went on a cruise there were no other kids my age. There were signs of a non-existant hangout room though. So where's Tom Cruise?
jedimaster1227 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 ^Font aside, there was no Tom Cruise, but there were others my age on the ship. I didn't really have time to hang out with them as I was running around with my family for my father's fraternity reunion for the majority of the time on the ship. Here are the pictures from day 2 of the cruise... I return to my room to find this lovely creature on my bed, finishing off day two of the cruise... After midnight, the main deck is empty... $3.50 for the Signature Smokehouse burger? I can handle that! Notice that the only items with prices are the shakes and malts. Everything else is included (but what isn't shown on the menu is that there is a $3.50 service charge per person). "Johnny Rockets at Sea" is what the restaurant is referred to. Stephanie and I at Johnny Rockets... Johnny Rockets was open so we indulged in its fatty foods... Heading back to the ship for lunch... Me after the WaveRunner tour... She is beautiful too! That's our ship right there! Looks a bit like LOST doesn't it? You can't get that kind of experience in many places... On the WaveRunner tour (jet skis), our guide took us over to a shallow area of the island, dove in and grabbed a starfish for us to hold. Beautiful isn't it?
RaptorBoyASU Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 You had to pay for food on the cruise? BLASPHEMY.....especially if it's just a burger.... Of course I'm sure it's royalties (franchise fee, whatevs)....
cfc Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 ^^Just what is the "lovely creature" supposed to be? It looks like a Rorschach test.
Meteornotes Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 ^I'd swear it was Cthulhu. Which would be kind of cool if the people on cruise ships would make towel mythos creatures. dt
cfc Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Name the ship the SS Miskatonic and put Capt. Lovecraft at the helm, with Arthur Gordon Pym as first mate--that would be too cool. Our first port of call, "the Mountains of Madness"! EDIT: Yeah, I know Pym is one of Poe's characters, but he did go on a long ocean voyage. How about Dr. Herbert West attending in the sick bay and Yeoman Purser Charles Dexter Ward?
jedimaster1227 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 ^^Just what is the "lovely creature" supposed to be? It looks like a Rorschach test. I thought it was a dog, but I could be wrong... This man seemed to be having a good time when this photo was taken... I ended up going to sleep while the boat rocked back and forth on waves such as this... Our ship was pretty well equiped... On this night, I could actually tell what animal was on my bed... Double Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert!!! The dinner for day 3 was French cuisine. There was a sorbet served in between the appetizer and main course. The last time I had something like this was back when I visited Spain... The sunset from the top of the Voyager's Crown. A nice view from the Voyager's Crown. It was because of this weather that we didn't end up leaving the ship on the day we docked at Nasau... Two more years until I can legally go into here... Nasau's only visible navy craft in the port. This seems like a mix between something out of The Shining and Titanic... What happens for Bonnie if she goes that way? Notice how desperately this girl tries to fight the oncoming wind... I woke up to this sight on Day 3...
RaptorBoyASU Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Are you sure that this wasn't a sorbet. It's traditionally served between courses to cleanse the palate. Sherbet is a bit less common between courses.
jedimaster1227 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 ^You are right. That was my exhaustion typing then. Sorry about that! In fact, I am still a little shaken from the boat, as yesterday, when I got home, sitting at my desk still made me feel like I was on the boat, rocking back and forth.
cprocks22 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 ^lol i was the same way when i got off my cruise, it will go away after a day or two. Great TR, too bad you didn't get to see Nassau, I'm guessing it would be nice if the weather was better.
jedimaster1227 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 ^Unfortunately, it didn't transport me to Castles and Coasters (or any park for that matter). Glad you caught the tribute there! Here are the last of the photos from this weekend... This time around, I wasn't able to go on the Dania Beach Hurricane, but who knows? Maybe next time I can convince my brother to drive me over for an hour or two... Say goodbye to the Majesty of the Sea for now! The ship is nearly empty as we prepare to leave... It can't be!?!? The curse of the Windjammer?!?! The Miami skyline was beautiful today. The next morning (Day 4), I woke up and we were back in Miami. Time for some breakfast...
YoshiFan Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 The water looks so blue in those pictures. Much nicer than the brown/green color the ocean is at the Jersey shore.
VegasCoaster Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Good TR. In a few weeks I might be posting one almost identical to this one since I'll be going on the same cruise, the same ship, but hopefully with better weather! I didn't think this ship had any other places to eat other than the Windjammer cafe and the dinning rooms, so thats a nice little surprise.
jedimaster1227 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 ^^ I like all kinds of water except yellow and brown... ^Thanks! I hope to see your trip report when you upload it!
