We did the cruises to Bermuda a few years ago and it was great. The ship is not one of the newer and larger ones but it is nice. It has many of the same amenities that the newer ships have, except the many balcony cabins.
The best thing about Bermuda is the beaches. There are only a few hotels on the beaches there, but all of the public beaches are great. There is not a lot to do in Bermuda other than water sports and golf. There are two main towns Hamilton, the largest (where most cruise ships dock for at least a day) and St George which is small and has just a few shops (ships usually dock there for a day.) The third place you may dock while there is The Kings Dockyard.. The Dockyard is on the far end of the 22 mile long island and has some shops and a museum. There is a cavern on the island that we went to once, kinda nice. We also visited the lighthouse, for lack of anything else to do.
A five, six, or seven day cruise to Bermuda is plenty enough time to see and enjoy it. In the town of Hamilton we took a walking tour which took us to an old church, a nice garden and a maritime museum. There is shopping in Hamilton and restaurants, but not much else. You will probably want to eat on ship as meal are expensive since everything has to be imported.
The best way to get around in Bermuda is to buy a transportation pass (may be able to get it on ship) which will let you take the busses, and the ferry, all over the island. There is a big bus depot just a couple blocks from where ships dock in the town of Hamilton. You can take the busses to the beach, they are not very far away and easy to get to from the bus stop. You want to go to Elbow Beach and Long Beach, both open to the public. If you want to snorkel, the Tobacco Bay Beach near the town of St George is great, and its walking distance (about 3/4 mile)( from town.

I took this cruise a few years ago and it was ok. When i read that the ship was being redone and the price was good , and i figured why not take it again. Well, unfortunately this past time(May of this year) was horrible. It was the first week that the ship went to Bermuda and the cruise ship had nothing prepared. It rained the whole time and there was nothing to do on the ship. The shows were boring and food and drinks were bad. If it didn't rain the whole time i would have had a much better time being on the beach and shopping. I wouldn't really suggest NCL Majesty to anyone.

I was on this cruise many years ago, closer to when it was first launched. So, my review is going to be a little outdated. It is an older ship at 14 years old. So, it isn't going to have as many of the new things onboard like some of the newer ships.
Here is a link that has lots of reviews and is really helpful: http://cruisecritic.com/reviews/review.cfm?ShipID=43
