Review summary

empress is smaller than most rcl ships. it was a great vacation and the food was generally very good especially in the dining room. the variety in the windjammer buffet was very good. the breakfast was good in windjammer but they could be more careful with the first in first out rule in food line. The food was very good the ribs were very tasty nd the variety of veggies were actually better than on most ships. the deserts were just ok except in the dining room they had a nice cheesecake that was good with strawberries. The cheese selection left something to be desired but all in all i thought the food on this ship was actually better than the bigger ships. the movie in the pool area was sometimes not loud enough but this can be easily remedied . the comedy show was very funny and the vegas act was surprisingly good. hope you enjoy this trip. the visit to cuba was the high light.

I agree with your comment on desert. Not terrible but not spectacular either.
