She was built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyards in Saint-Nazaire, France, and placed in service on April 26, 1992. Her Godmother is Queen Sonja Of Norway. She is often used as the representation of cruise ships around the world.
MAJESTY OF THE SEAS is routinely used by Royal Caribbean on a 7-day cycle that includes two weekly voyages. Four night cruises operate every Monday through Friday from the Port of Miami, stopping at Nassau, Coco Cay (a private island owned by Royal Caribbean), and Key West. A three-night cruise follows to Nassau and Coco Cay only each weekend. Since 2011, the MAJESTY OF THE SEAS has been the location of the annually held 70000 Tons of Metal Festival. The festival sails from Miami to a different Caribbean destination each year before returning to Miami after four nights.
