Embarkation

2 out of 5

This was a nightmare, they had problems with the bay door so the bags were late , we all stood around waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was not the best that I have had in my other cruises. My Dinning food was always cold or to much salt. I definitely lost weight on this cruise

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

There were done beside line dancing

2 out of 5

Ship Quality

The bathroom needed upgrading

Ship tip

I took this ship to Cuba and was told I had to have a Suite excursion in order to leave the ship they were over priced and boring. But that was not sure a lot of passengers left the ship to explore Cuba on their own, I did not get to experience Cuba and their culture, but I was stuck on their boring excursion.

Just sailed on Empress a couple of weeks ago. We love this smaller ship. Embarkation and departure were a breeze, literally just a few minutes. We had a great time.
