The reason why no one was seeing them is because she moved them into a different folder, and those of you who were still seeing them, it's because they are in your cache from viewing them before. I fixed the links from this thread and I'll fix the other links.
 
Fixing link to picture.

Yep, no Coco Cay for the Majesty...I can honestly say I won't ever be crusing with Royal Carribean again! Very disappointed that we had to ask for additional food at meals (small portions) and there were few things available between lunchtime (we ate around noon) and the 8:30pm dinner. Cold, windy at night and no chairs available by the pool during the day...kids in the Hot Tub (doing who knows what in the water)....I guess I am just not the crusing type.

We did shopping on Nassau. I would never go back, it's a really dirty place, lots of men standing on the dock yelling at you to get you to go on "island tours" with them, kind of scary. We did go to Atlantis for a walk and stopped to get a drink there ($11 for each fruity-rum drink), hubby went to the bathroom there and watched an Atlantis worker use the bathroom and walk out without washing his hands....hmm....decided not to buy the $18 hamburger and won't be going back there anytime in the future!

Key West was good, the only warm day we had. We may go back for a long weekend in the future.

Then we waited at the airport for 7 hours for our scheduled flight to leave.

I am on track for Riviera Maya next year and will try that, but if it's not any better, no more PC trips for me....I will be taking the cash and booking a trip on my own!

Writing this as I am sneezing and wiping my nose (probably from the dirty handrails on the ship)!

Not very impressed, spent around $300 on the ship for drinks for the week -- they automatically charge you a 15% gratuity, even if you go to the bar and get the drink yourself), and $400 on souveniers (bought them now because we won't be going back!) but at least we found out where NOT to go!

Hope that others had a better time than us, I think we are just spoiled from other amazingly great vacations we have taken to other places on our own.
 
Sorry to hear your trip was disappointing Janice. Definitely give the trips another try...we absolutely loved the London trip and am going to try for Paris this year.

Thanks Debi for reposting the pics.......I always love seeing pics.
 
PS Leggy where are your pics?
 
Yay!! I could see them on the re-post. Thanks! Oh how fun.....I wish I could go back in a month.:cry:

Took off the post I did....too depressing when I re-read it! Hope everyone else had a great time!
 
Thanks Debbie for figuring out why we couldnt see the pics! Great time it looks like you guys had - I love the "never without a drink in your hand" LOL - Good for you guys!!!

Sorry you didn't enjoy Janice - I love cruising - to each his own!!! Feel better soon!!
 
Janice, I sorry things didn't go well. I was on the Majesty and we had fun.
My husband ordered 2 dinners every night, our waiter encouraged it.
Did you know there was a deli and pizza place by the pool that was open 11 am till 7pm everyday?
I was upset by the kids in the hot tub. I feel that was the parents fault.
And it was upsetting we had to be off the boat by 8am and flights didn't leave until 3. We were able to change our flight.
We did have a great time, nice and relaxing. Met lots of great people.

Thanks for reposting the pics! I'm not sure what happened......

Yes, I pretty much had a drink in my hands. We had a REALLY great time!
 
Love your pics

But I was looking to see if I saw my director in any of them

Sorry

:chef:
 
How do you put the pics on this Can some one tell me who I would love to show my pictures thanks
 
What happened with Janice? I looked for her post and then I saw the she said she had deleted it.

We didn't leave the boat til 9:30am (last possible moment). We got to the airport early and instead of taking a 2:30pm flight we flew standby and got on the 11am. Hate to leave but glad to go home!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Magesty. I do wish we could have gone to Cococay. That was supposed to be our beach day! Oh Well. We still had a blast! Walked 3 miles in Key West and saw everything. Got my Key Lime Pie! That was my goal! YUMMY! I think I only gained 3-4 lbs on this trip. Lost 13 before I left though!

Did you see any shows? The "Quest" game show? Our team won 2nd place! I'll have to post the pictures of my husband wearing my bra, boxer shorts, my Pampered Chef purse, high heels and lipstick!!! :)

We also did karaoke. "Paradise by the Dahboard lights" We had so much fun, a little much to drink and yes the house is still rocking a bit! Can't wait til next year's trip! My husband is really taking an active interest in it now!

OMG! My team got first! Yes, that was my husband up there in the bra and everything. That was a blast!!!
 
We just aren't cruising people...nothing PC's fault, just didn't think that on a cruise you would have to search for food and was hoping that they would go where they said they would (again, not PC's fault). We are more the lay on the beach alone kind of people (definately not going to find THAT on a cruise).

This is our kind of beach (a pic from the last time we went to Hawaii).

We did appreciate the chance to experience this, though!
