Empress of the Seas Review

Additional details
I chose this cruise because I needed 9 points to reach Diamond Status on RCCL. Booking a suite would achieve that. We were in an Owner's Suite with a very large balcony which was just beautiful. The weather didn't cooperate so I could take advantage on days at sea.
My initial opinion of the ship was awful......the Windjammer restaurant was crowded and all the chairs were stained and the napkins had ink stains and were frayed. The food was average.
Being a small ship it was easy to navigate. The service was excellent - from the room attendants, to restaurant staff Viktoria and Jie. The staff was always smiling and helpful.
Cabin Review
Being the 2nd highest category, it was excellent....the cabin was in the front with a huge balcony (2 padded lounge chairs and 4 padded chairs and a table). When you walked in, there was a very large sitting area and a wall of mirrors where the TV was mounted, a vanity area, refrigerator and storage. To the right was the king bed with 3 small closets with more drawers. The bathroom was good size with a tub and shower combo. More storage in there also.
