Review summary
This was our second trip to Bermuda on Empress; for whatever reason we were not as thrilled with her the second time around. It seemed more crowded, and the smoking areas seemed to encroach on the non-smoking areas more. We do like the size of the ship, and most especially the 7-night length sailing out of Philadelphia, since we were able to drive and avoid the dreaded "airport adventure." We wished we could stay longer. Cruising to Bermuda is delightful, the best of two experiences. The round-trip voyage was extra-smooth this time.Ports of call
Pros: The pleasant, helpful staff and crew, the beautiful "Strike up the Band" lounge, our fantastic waiter and assistant waiter, and the food
Cons: The miniscule staterooms, especially the bathrooms - but we did find places for everything.
