Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid 2024: Choose the Best Cabin  

Going on a cruise can be super exciting! The Majestic Princess is a big, beautiful ship with lots of cabins to choose from. But did you know that not all cabins are the same on Princess Cruises? Some might be noisy or make you feel wobbly, while others might have views that aren’t very nice. 

Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or have been on many ships before, knowing which cabins to skip can help you have the best vacation possible! 

In this guide, we’ll tell you about which Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid. We’ll explain why some cabins aren’t as comfy as others, so you can pick a cabin that will make your trip even more fun.  

Let’s get ready to explore the Majestic Princess rooms to avoid that may not be the best choice.  

Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid with Obstructed Views

Balcony & Deluxe Balcony cabins on the Majestic Princess have views that are partly blocked by lifeboats or other ship parts. These cabins are cheaper than balcony cabins with clear views. If you’re okay with a view that’s not perfect, these cabins could be a good choice for you. 

Even though you can’t see everything from these balconies, you still get your own little outdoor space. You can sit outside and enjoy the fresh ocean air.

Choosing one of these partly blocked balcony cabins can be smart if you want to save some cash. You get the fun of having a balcony, but at a lower price.  

Following are Majestic Princess cabins to avoid with obstructed views: 

Deluxe Balcony Cabins with Obstructed View

Deluxe Balcony cabins on Deck 8 have partial balcony obstructed views due to lifeboat. Following are Deluxe balcony cabins that have obstructed view: 

• Cabins E101 to E110

• Cabins E322 to E335 
• Cabins E401 to E412

Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid with Less Privacy

Following are the reasons to avoid these cabins due to privacy issue: 

Privacy Concerns on SeaWalk

Some cabins on Majestic Princess have less privacy due to the SeaWalk, a glass walkway that extends from the ship’s side. Cabins below this feature, including those numbered M411 to M425, R415 to R429, A417 to A429, and B417 to B429 can be seen from above.   

When you’re on your balcony in these above-mentioned cabins, people on the SeaWalk might be able to look at you.   

It’s also worth noting that if you use the SeaWalk yourself, be mindful of your clothing choices as people below can see up. 

Aft Cabins with Less Privacy (Wake View Bar Terrace)

At the back of the ship, cabins M722 to M727 on Deck 15 may have less privacy due to their location near the Wake View Bar Terrace. Guests on the terrace can see into these balconies when looking down.  

If you want more privacy, you might prefer a cabin lower down or in the middle of the ship instead of these aft locations. 

Cabins with Bigger Balconies

On Deck 9, some cabins (D145 to D277 and D701 to D725) have bigger balconies that extend further than others. This can make them more visible from above. 

When choosing your cabin, think about how much privacy matters to you and pick a location that suits your needs. 

Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid Near Noisy Areas

When you’re picking a cabin on the Majestic Princess, it’s good to think about how noisy it might be. Some parts of the ship can be loud, which might make it hard to relax or sleep.  

Different areas get noisy at different times of the day or night. Knowing where the loud areas are can help you pick a better room for you. 

Before you choose your cabin, think about how important quiet is to you. If you’re a light sleeper or just enjoy silence, it’s worth taking some time to find out which areas of the ship tend to be noisier. This way, you can have a more relaxing trip without being bothered by too much noise. 

Following are Majestic Princess cabins to avoid near noisy areas: 

Cabins Near Laundromat

On the Majestic Princess, some cabins are near the laundry rooms. While the washing machines aren’t very loud, these areas can still be noisy because of the crowds on longer trips when more passengers need to wash their clothes. 

The main problem is the busy hallways near these laundry areas. You might hear lots of people walking by your room throughout the day and evening.  

If you want a peaceful stay, then pick a cabin that’s not right next to the laundromat. This way you won’t have to listen to the constant foot traffic. 

The cabins given below on Majestic Princess should be avoided near laundry area.  

• E622 and E623 on Deck 8 
• D622 and D623 on Deck 9 
• C622 and C623 on Deck 10 
• B622 and B623 on Deck 11 
• A622 and A631 on Deck 12 
• R611 and R612 on Deck 14 
• M622 and M623 on Deck 15 

Cabins Above Princess Theatre & Lounges

Some cabins on Deck 8 on Majestic Princess are right above the Princess Theater, Vista Gaming Lounge, and Crown Grill & Bar that are on Deck 7. If you’re in one of those cabins, you might hear noise from shows and events happening below. 

This can be a problem if you like to go to bed early or if you have kids who need quiet sleep. The noise might continue late into the night when there are evening shows or events. 

It might be better to choose a cabin that’s not directly above these entertainment areas.  

Cabins Near & Below the Pool Area

Some cabins on the Majestic Princess are close to the pool on Deck 16. Cabins like L301, L302, L330 to L335, and those right below the pool on Deck 15 can be noisy in the morning. You might hear sounds of loungers being moved, people swimming, or music from pool parties at night. 

If you’re an early riser, this noise might not bother you. However, if you enjoy sleeping in or need quiet mornings, these cabins might not be the best choice.  

So, it’s better to pick a cabin that’s not near the pool area. Try to choose a room that’s surrounded by other guest cabins instead.  

Cabins Near Stairwells

Cabins near the stairs on the Majestic Princess can be quite noisy. These areas have constant foot traffic as people use the stairs throughout the day and night. If you’re in one of these rooms, you might hear a lot of footsteps and voices passing by your door. 

This constant noise can be disruptive, especially if you’re a light sleeper or like to relax in your cabin. The sound of people using the stairs can continue late into the night and start early in the morning. 

If you prefer a quieter environment, it’s best to choose a cabin that’s not located near the stairways. 

The following cabins are near the stairwells on Majestic Princess: 

• E230, E231, E301, E302, E445, E446, E501, E502, & E701 to E704 on Deck 8

Cabins Near Elevators

Cabins close to elevators on the Majestic Princess can be quite noisy. You may hear elevator sounds and people talking throughout the day and night when passengers return from bars or parties.  

For a peaceful cruise experience, it’s better to choose a cabin located farther away from the elevators. 

Following are cabins near the elevator that should be avoided: 

• E305, E306, E707, & E708 on Deck 8

Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid with Connecting Doors

On the Majestic Princess, some cabins have connecting doors that can connect to the cabin next door. These connecting cabins are great for big families or groups of friends who want to visit each other.  

However, if you’re not using both connected cabins, these doors might be a problem. Even when locked, they don’t block sound as well as regular walls. This means you might hear your neighbors more clearly than you’d like.  

If you’re traveling alone or with just a few people, it’s usually better to choose a cabin without a connecting door.

Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid that Cause Seasickness

Following are Majestic Princess cabins to avoid that cause seasickness: 

Cabins at the Very Front or Back

Higher deck cabins at the front and back of the ship on the Majestic Princess can experience a lot of movement. When the ship encounters big waves, these cabins tend to shake and sway more than others. This extra motion can make some people feel dizzy or seasick.  

If you’re worried about motion sickness or just want a more stable cabin, look for cabins located in the middle sections of the ship. These rooms provide a calmer environment, especially when sailing through choppy waters. 

Higher Deck Front Cabins with Balconies

Cabins (M101 to M108 and L101 to L108) at the front of the ship on Decks 15 and 16 respectively have large balconies. These balconies offer great outdoor spaces, but they can sometimes be affected by strong winds. 

On very windy days, especially when the ship is moving fast, it might be hard to sit comfortably on these balconies. This could be disappointing if you were looking forward to spending a lot of time outside on sea days. 

It’s important to know that you can always open your balcony door even when the ship is sailing. The crew doesn’t lock the balconies for safety reasons. Some days might be too blustery to enjoy sitting outside, but other days can be quite pleasant, especially when the wind is coming from behind the ship. 

When choosing these cabins, keep in mind that you might have both windy and calm days during your trip. 

Majestic Princess Cabins to Avoid Near Crew Areas

When choosing a cabin on the Majestic Princess, it’s important to consider the location of crew work areas. Some parts of the ship can be noisy due to crew activities, especially near places where passengers get on and off at different ports. 

Cabins close to crew areas might experience more noise and activity. You could hear luggage being moved or smell food from crew dining areas. These disturbances can happen at odd hours because crew members work around the clock. 

For a more peaceful trip, try to select a cabin in the middle of the ship, away from crew areas and busy hallways. The central part of the ship is quieter and more stable. 

When booking your cabin, ask about its location in relation to crew areas and high-traffic zones. Choosing a cabin away from these busy spots can help make your vacation more relaxing and enjoyable.
