The Empress was wonderful a smaller boat than most cruises. Much to consider here we sailed day after Matthew left Miami so our trip was cut short. RCL cut out Key West so, Nassau, Bahamas turned out to be our only port and it was left devastated after hurricane. Not sure why RCL would skip Key West for a country running on generators but, maybe it was But, the people we positive and Senor Frogs while much over priced was a good time. The Atlantis was closed to the public.

Room was clean and larger than on most ships. We had a balcony. Bathroom was in good condition.

Only complaints are most of Casino dealers were either bored or rude, the pool area chairs were hard to come by, the pool itself is not big enough and RC coffee it is terrible, even the coffee bar was not great(although the server was a great guy)
