Overview

After being with cruise line Pullmantur for a time, Empress of the Seas is back with Royal Caribbean sailing from Miami. The ship is the oldest in the fleet, and pretty small, but is still a perfect getaway for those in southern Florida who want a quick vacation.  The ship features three whirlpools, five bars and lounges, the line’s signature steakhouse Chops Grille, and a full service spa.
