Empress of the seas is the smallest ship of the RC fleet so the rooming was small for 3 but we made it work! Beds were soft and nice carpeting.

First time in Mexico, super beautiful, extremely hot but better than being in NYC early November, and the food was fresh! I mean I’ve had shrimp tacos here in NY but having them freshly made was a different kind of taste! People were super friendly and helpful! Did the ATV’s I crashed like twice 😂 I had fun though! Margaritas were so strong I only needed one lol and I had my first Cuban cigar even though I was in Mexico 😂😂🥳
