Empress of the Seas (RETIRED) 223

7 Night Bermuda (Philadelphia Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 29, 2007

Ship: Empress of the Seas (RETIRED) 223

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Ship very clean. Staterooms very small. Very open feel with multiple windows Food just average-very uninspired. Multiple time cruiser. Staff excellent. Portifinos was worth the extra 20 bucks. Cruising from Philadelphia limits time in Bermude versus other 7 days cruises because you spend 7 hours each way getting into the Atlantic from Philly.

Ports of call

Hamilton, Bermuda

5 out of 5

Horseshoe bay overrated 1 hr plus trip to Dockyard on bus 12 minutes by ferry

Don't Miss: go to Snorkel bay at dockyards

St. George's, Bermuda

5 out of 5

Tobbaco Bay great snorkel but small beach which gets very crowded
