I'm a Diamond Plus member in Crown and Anchor. That's 175 nights on a royal caribbean ship. I'm 30 years old, and work in aviation. Just to give you a background on my perception.

I knew The Empress of the Seas was the oldest ship in the fleet and was actually sold because it was such a rust bucket. I think they bought it back because they want to be able to go into Cuba. That being said the refurb was was done well but there's a LOT lacking that they didn't fix or work on.

First off lets talk about Value. If you take NCL Sky to Bahamas its free drinks included. Period. Royal Caribbean apparently didn't get the memo. They rake you over the coals. So why would ANYONE take this ship?

Cabin Review

Cabin Inside

This thing was the tiniest cabin ive ever been in. New carpet and beddding was nice, bed was crap though.

Port Reviews

Miami

Miami is a great port, easy in and out

Nassau

Nassau is such a tourist trap dump! Might as well go to Daytona Beach! Tacky tshirt shops and people begging you to take cab rides...
