Hi bigdawg, Welcome to All Things Plants!
Majesty Palm (Ravenea rivularis) requires very bright light and high humidity to thrive.
I had a couple of the Dwarf Majesty Palm (Ravenea hildebrandtii) growing in containers for quite a few years, but mine were kept outdoors on my pool deck where they received filtered but very bright Florida sunlight throughout the year. I gave one of my plants away when it got so tall that it touched the screen roof of the pool enclosure and I ended up planting the other in the ground where one year it was killed by an unusually frigid winter.

I wish you luck with your Majesty, it is a very beautiful palm tree but I'm not sure how long it will survive in an indoor setting without very bright light and high humidity. Depending on where you live, you may have success if you can put it outdoors during the day and increase humidity by sitting it on a tray of pebbles containing water ... or spraying with a water bottle etc.
