Empress of the Seas Review
Good ship for partying; not so good for quality or shore excursions

Additional details
The embarkation process was negative. We were not able to get on the ship until after 1:00. In the meantime, they had us crowded in a port room where there were not enough seats for everyone. There was no food or drink available in the port facilities.
Disembarkation was again slow due to only two customs people interviewing all the passengers as they got off.
The ship has been beautifully remodeled and felt nice to walk through. On the other hand, the cabins are very tired. There was cracks in the ceiling and bathroom walls. The walls also had dents and seem to be made of cheap materials. But the cabin attendant did an excellent job making the room comfortable.
