This was the third time I have done this cruise, but the first on the beautiful Majestic. Also first time out of Sydney. We got down to the port early, as we were not departing port until 6.45 pm. Spent some time trawling through the market at The Rocks, before heading on board about 12.30. We werent due to embark until about 3.15, but with a Platinum card, I thought I would chance it. We has already dropped our bags earlier, so it was just getting out cards and boarding. There was no queue, and we were on in about 15 mins flat!
Had lunch at the Trough, which was the only time I went there. It was set out well, very spread out. Again, not many on board, so no queues or dramas.
Our cabin was well positioned and very spacious. As usual, the beds were comfy but the pillows less so, The new TV system was great, and we caught a movie before heading off to muster. Again, this was a lot less crowded than usual, with most people finding a seat or a perch. Not having to lug your life jacket was a plus. Catching the lifts afterwards was also not the usual scramble. (Travelling companion has a few mobility issues).

Cabin BD
I think it was a BD rating. it was on the 10th floor, directly by the lifts, which suited my SIL, who has limited mobility. I think I only heard noise once, about 8.30 in the morning. It was directly above the Allegro dining room, which we ate at in the evenings.
An updated bathroom, with a more modern looking sink unit, larger shower and the half round shelves just down one side of the mirror, the bathroom felt more spacious than usual.
There were plenty of hangers in the wardrobe, although there was enough space on the floor for two large suitcases with the lids up if you were too lazy to unpack (as I was).
The Cabin was very spacious, the king size bed was split into two and that was fine.
The TV was finally mounted on the wall and was a good size. There was a good selection of movies (about 50) which you could watch at your leisure, should you choose. There were some TV programmes and the usual new channels or music if you felt like just laxing in the room for a bit.
Very pleasant and good location.
Port Reviews
Port Arthur
Did the walking tour that is included in all Princess Cruises, so you dont actually have to book or pay extra. Just a little hard to find where it is leaving from. Very informative. A little different from what we are led to believe in Charles Dickens style novels. Well worth doing, and its not often you get something off Princess for free!
