Subject: Review -  Empress of the Seas - February 26 - March 9, 2007

Hi just a short review of my cruise on the Empress of the seas .

I cruised solo for the frist time on the Empress of the seas 2/26/07 had a great table and had a great time. It was an 11 day S.Caribbean cruise out of San Juan .First off i thought i would have to pick up the ship in St Maarten the next day .almost being snowed in !! I Got to the airport at 4am on the 26th and my flight was at 6:25 am .It took an hour to deice the plane ,and we left at 7:30 an .I was on the ship at 1 pm .The ports on the cruise were St Maarten, St Kitts, Antigua ,st Lucia, Bardados ,Margarita island, Curacao,Aruba ,and 2 day at sea .Great ports .Have not done a S.Caribbean cruise in in some time .So i was realy looking forward to this cruise .That and it being an 11 day cruise .

First a little history of me with this ship .We did the 10th sailing on this ship when it was brand new back in 1990 .Then again in 1999 to Bermuda from NYC .Both of the cruises were when she was the Nordic Empress .The new places on the ship are the rock clinbing wall, the Schooner bar, Boleros ,Potofino's ,witch you pay $20 and is great .And Ben & Jerry"s ice cream . The cabins on this ship are very small .I could not take my family back on here in the same cabin again .I would need 2 cabin now ! This ship holds 2050 people on her when full ,and on sea days up at the pool it gets very crowed when full .On my cruise there was only 1500 or so on board . So it wasn"t so bad at the pool.Also i think this ship has the best wrap around promenade deck ,it"s wide .I did my 10 mile power walking there every morning at 6:30 am to 8:30 am .It was great watching the sun coming up ,it just dosen"t get any better i lost 5 lbs's on this cruise!!

Now the good news this ship and cruise was the first to get the new menu"s .That will be going feet wide soon .It was the best food i ever had on RCCI .This being the 9 time with RCCI .and 3rd time on this ship .Now i still would not call it the best cruise food i ever had .But it was very good at lest better then the other RCCI cruises we have been on .Also there were 2 top guy"s from the head office on board to check it out .The Carmen dinning room the food tested better not as blend as before .In the Windjammer cafe it's so much better then i ever remember before .Another great thing at the Windjammer is there is food there all day long ! Unlike alot of other cruise lines ,and you could get Ice tea and Lemon aid all day long HINT
Princess !!!!

The show's were very good i went to most of them .Being an 11 day cruise the night life after 11 pm is not like on a 7 day cruise .And another funny thing .On a 7 day cruise most people go for the 2nd seating dinning not on this cruise !! yes it was an olded crowed .But not to old as i thought would be .One thing RCCI is offering now is ghost booking.That"s where you do an open booking for $100 and they fax it over to your TA it's good for 3 years .And when you book your next cruise with RCCI that's the only depoist need for the new booking ,and you get a $200 ship board credit . You can't go wrong!

Ports i only did 3 tours one in St lucia a train ride around the island it was great .A tour of Margarita island was good .and a tour of the rain forest in San Juan the last day it was a great way to spend the day before my flight home ! Took my time and went to the great beachs of the islands .Then went back to the ship to have some lunch .then in the afternoon went to town to shop and walk around town .I had a great time no rush here !

In clossing i had a great time on this cruise i love doing an 11 day S.Caribbean cruise love the ports of call. The great people i met like always The service in the cabin and dinning room was great The front desk was very helpful .Would i do this cruise again in a hart beat !! But there was talk on baord that she may be going to Island cruises or Pullmenta cruises .Not sure when .This was my 66th cruise and another great one .We will be on the New Liberty of the seas august 25th 07 of this year .Also doing an 2 day cruise to Nassau on the Regal Empress with friends in august .And the Explorer of the seas doing an 12 day S Caribbean cruise from NJ Feb 24th 08 No flying this time !! Enjoy Ken G...........>

Subject: September Cruise

My husband and I and some friends are planning an Eastern Carribean Cruise in early September. Is September a good time to cruise? What months are considered Hurricane Season? And in September, are the ships still full of young children? I appreciate any response. It has been 15 years since our last cruise and I know alot has changed. We are in our mid 50's.

I would like to know if there has been any part of the ship that has been refurbish, the bedding etc. We booked a trip for Nov 24. I have been reading some bad reviews about this ship. If you could answer these questions it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
