Itineraries
Majesty of the Seas is routinely used by Royal Caribbean on a 7-day cycle that includes two weekly voyages. Four night cruises operate every Monday through Friday from the Port of Miami, stopping at Nassau, Coco Cay (a private island owned by Royal Caribbean), and Key West. A three-night cruise follows to Nassau and Coco Cay only each weekend. Since 2011, the Majesty of the Seas has been the location of the annually held 70000 Tons of Metal Festival. The festival departs from Miami and docks in Cozumel before returning to Miami.
