Review summary

The Empress of the sea was an older ship, and small. The dinning service was poor and at time very slow. I felt the staff were more like training. Not the usual service I've received from Royal Caribbean in previous cruises. The Drink Package were ridiculous high, just for soda & water. You were force to purchase a higher drink package in order to have water. Will probably sail on another ship in the future.

Most cruiselines do not include bottled water in the soda package, I always buy it for my kids (Carnival, Celebrity and Royal) and always only soda

I agree totally! Our dining staff were very nice but so slow!! Often the surrounding tables were finishing their entre before our starter was served; once before our orders were taken!
