Excerpts from RCI's Website
Empress of the Seas* may be smaller than our other ships, but
don't let its size fool you. You'll find everything you've come to expect
onboard a Royal Caribbean ship, like panoramic ocean views from the two-story
ShipShape® Day Spa and Fitness Center, romantic dinners in Portofino, our
specialty Italian restaurant and dancing in the Latin-themed bar, Boleros. Its
unique combination of smaller size and amazing amenities has put Empress of the
Seas in a league of its own.
