Imperial Majesty Cruise Line has been offering excellent serve to their customers. As any business they can not please everyone. Some of the out-sourced marketing firms do promise a luxury cruise which the 53 year old ship sure is not. The Regal Empress is a classic historic liner offering short budgeted cruises. For the s****.. I have to say the food is impeccable and the staff is always there even if you don't need them. I personally have a few suggestions but I hear the ship will be out of service soon anyways. Granted there is no cruise line out there that is perfect.

I recently recieved a letter from a local car dealership stating that my husband had one at least 3 prizes, so he went there and received a voucher from Ramada Plaza Resorts for a 7 night Florida/Caribbean Cruise, Free Companion Airfare, and our "choice" at one of several 2 night/3 day Ramada Plaza Platinum Hotels. Well, I started reading some of the small print and for the hotel "getaway" pretty much every single weekday, except for one were "non-check in dates" It was supposed to include a 3 night stay at one resort, a 2 night stay at another and 2 nights on a "luxury" cruise. It claimed either a Carnival Cruise or Imperial Majesty(I have never heard of Imperial Majesty) So, after looking all of this up, I came across all of these posts on here. I was figuring that it was some sort of rip-off, and that the "taxes & "incidental" charges" would be outrageous. Yes, I suppose nothing in life is free, but things shouldn't be advertised as being free and that is where I feel the scam comes in. Luckily, I haven't called them or done anything. But, I also wouldn't be giving my credit card numbers out over the phone. I went on an awesome cruise/vacation 3 years ago for my honeymoon and I booked through AAA. If this trip is supposedly worth $1600 or more, I'd like to see how. From what everyone on here is saying about dumpy hotels, rusty cruise ships and "jail cell" rooms on board, I find that hard to believe. Our honeymoon, which included airfare for both of us, 4 nights on a really nice Royal Caribbean cruise, and the weekend before and after the cruise, with car rental, only cost around $2,000. Now, this was for the best room on the ship, with a private balcony, huge walk in closet, flat screen tv, breakfast on our own balcony every morning, etc. The car was a mustang, and the hotel we stayed at was awesome, a two room suite. So before anyone gets scammed into spending all this money on some yucky vacation, check out cruise packages on reputable sites, for reputable cruise lines. I recommend expedia, or hotwire for a good deal that isn't a scam! Well, the only "scam" that most cruise lines have are the $7 drinks that are charged to your sea pass, only you don't know at the time that they are $7. Good thing we only got one drink while on board! Good luck to all getting their money back, and hopefully you can find a real vacation, for a decent price!
