"When walking up to first outside deck, I tripped at last step (holding the champagne). Kind people and Majestic Staff MOST attentive. Ice in a towel for bruised lip. Wrist was sore where it broke my fall. Megan and husband kindly gave up their chairs for me and my husband. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. I was able to stand, talk and show nothing was broken. I enjoyed the cruise and was happy with the whole VIVID event. Will book again with Majestic Cruises. Sue Ai"

"This was a very good cruise to see the Vivid lights. As usual, it was well organised and the crew were excellent. The Captain came immediately when an elderly woman tripped up the stairs and fell right behind my seat. He attended to the incident professionally. Well done all."
