    It does look like it gets watered pretty frequently. That is more than likely the cause. Soil that remains too Moist for too long will cause infections such as this.

    Treatment can be difficult since the palm may be sensitive to treatment.

    I would recommend a fungicide. Only use it on a small area first to test it. If it responds just fine then you can begin treatment. This article will give you information on fungicide use: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm

    If you repot, it's best to go up only one or two sizes to prevent over watering (the excess soil holds more water than needed, leading to root rot).

    When repotting, you can center the stalks better. However, there may be some reaching for the light going on too. Make sure you rotate the pot so all sides of the palm get light. Be sure the pot has several drainage holes and the plant does not sit in excess water.

    Brown tips also can be a sign of low humidity, under or overwatering. Majesty palms are kind of tricky. You have to find the right watering between over and underwatering. They like most soil, but not waterlogged. They also need high humidity. Here is more:

    Unfortunately, without photos it would be near impossible to say what is wrong with them. Problems can range from improper watering, infection, nutrient deficiency or toxicity, humidity problems and many more factors, depending on the appearance and placement of the spotting.

    t probably wasn't cold enough inside to do real damage unless your house temperature went below 32 degrees F. Give them a drink of water and even a light application of liquid fertilizer. Leaves may turn yellow or brown and drop. But they should regrow.

    It sounds like the soil might remain too wet. This is even more evident with the rain worsening symptoms.

    At this time, I would pot it into new soil for palms, and treat with a fungicide.
