    I will be taking this cruise on October 4th with my husband-to-be.
    Iam really looking forward to it.  He has been on several cruises on
    RCCL and has enjoyed all of them. However I only have on a windjammer
    cruise, which we both plan to do at another time.  I loved the
    windjammer.

	We arrived back on November 1.  We had our Honeymoon on 
	Majesty of the Seas.  It was the best.  For a first time
	cruise we couldn't have asked for more.  We had seven
	days of 85 to 95 sunshine.  We were told the week before
	had 6 days of rain and high seas.  

	We arrived Maimi on Sunday, October 25th.  They took us right
	out to board the busses to the port.  Upon are arrival we
	changed into shorts and started to explore.  We had our
	first cocktail at the Windjammer Cafe.  Where they started us
	off with a welcome buffet.  From then on it was food, food, and
	more food if you wanted it!

	We left Maimi to a beautiful sunset which was a good indication
	of the beautiful sights we would see in the next several days!
	Our luggage arrived sooner than they promised with everything
	right to our door.  

	We met our dining table, they were all in our age group with
	one thing in common we were all on our Honeymoon.  Come to find
	out there were 232 Honeymoon couples on board.  Yes 464 on one
	cruise.  They had the Honeymoon cocktail party in one of the 
	lounges and it was really fun.

	The wonderful thing about it all was we could be alone if we
	wanted yet there was always something to do!  We enjoyed every
	moment.  

	At Playa del Carmen they let just the passengers off
	going to the Tulman ruins they had to get up at dawn to make that
	trip.  Next was Cozumel, we went to the Mayan ruins and it was 
	very interesting.  We spent time shopping and did a little 
	exploring on our own!  Had to buy Mexican Blankets.

	The second stop was Grand Caymen - It is georgeous there,  expensive 
	but georgeous.  We would like to have had more time there.  We went
	to Seven Mile Beach and we also went to Sting Ray City and of
	course fed the Sting Rays.  By the time we were done we got the
	last Tender back to the ship.  

	The next stop was Jamaica, Dunn's River Falls is Awesome!  The falls 
	are beautiful.  We then went through Fern Gully and back to the 
	downtown area for shopping.  There were some good buys on jewerly.
	The open market was unreal!  I just didn't like the people offering 
	drugs or anything else for a dollar!  
	We went back to the ship early that day!  I was just to nervous.

	Friday was at sea.  There were continual activities on board,
	especially at the pool area.  From horseracing to Bathingsuit
	contests.

	The last stop was the private Island Coco Cay in the Bahamas.
	We took the snorkling tour there. The fish were big and very
	pretty.  The beach was great.  And they cooked on the island and 
	had another big feed.  The drink of the day was a COCO LOCO. The
	drinks were great, different everyday!

	So, in closing for a first time cruising experience it was more than
	I could ever ask for.  The staff and crew were excellent.  The shows
	were right off broadway.  We are planning our next trip in two years!
	Can't wait.  I'm hooked!
