Review summary

Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line, and for an older and smaller ship, they make the best of Empress of the Seas. Itinerary and price was why we went. Crew and food was very good. Overall a fantastic trip.

Ship tip

Don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. Older small ship, but still nice.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Nice city, port is near downtown and easy to get to

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Lots of things to see and do, always fun.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Beautiful and lush, nice beaches and zip lining. Not much near the port.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
City and port, ok. Nothing great. Go on an excursion outside the city. See the Mayan ruins.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Lots to see and do, but very busy and people bug the crap out of you to buy things and go on tours. Walk around the town square and explore the island, get away from the port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Fast, but some confusion.

Thank you for your review, we are going in August and was a bit worried about the small cabin but I think the itinerary is good for Bermuda. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Thanks.
