Empress of the Seas Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise for the overnight stay in Havana Cuba. The weather was extremely hot and humid - so be sure to prepare for that if you go there. Otherwise, it was a great place to visit. I only wish we could have stayed longer.
The ship has been 'updated' but definitely shows some of its age. Overall, the ship is in good condition and the food and service were very good. As this is an older ship, the cabins tend to be a bit tighter and there are very limited (and very expensive) options for balcony cabins.
The seating in the main theatre is not very comfortable so get there early to grab a seat on one of the benches.
Cabin Review
Cabin was small (old ship) but comfortable. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had adequate shelf space and plenty of towels.
Port Reviews
Tampa
We simply boarded the boat in Tampa - came direct from the airport.
Havana
It's an experience that can't be matched. Even though I would love to go back and spend more time, the small amount of time we spent there was great. We went to the show at the Tropicana - skip the meal if you book it direct like we did.
