The Nordic Empress was a FANTASTIC ship! Everything in general was wonderful.
The room was a bit small but I didn't spend much time in there ( too many other
things to do ) so it didn't really affect anything. The beds were actually quite
comfy. The pool was also a little on the small side but it was still very
relaxing and the whirlpools were great. You could never go hungry because there
was always something to eat and the food was EXCELLENT!! I ate in the Carmen
Dining room every night.
The service was spectacular. My waiter was a Hungarian named Arnold Kekesi. He
was very good. He was funny, sweet and had a great personality. For any future
cruiser that read this, request a table that he serves because he will make your
vacation twenty times better. My assistant waiter was a Woman named Rosaline
from Romania and she was also superb. I couldn't even take a sip of my iced tea
without her refilling it. She was also very nice and funny. The room service was
also good. My maid was excellent.
On to the activities. I liked how they had the Compass to tell you the day
activates and in general they were all very fun. The shows were so good and the
comedians were hilarious. Dan the party man was so funny!!! ( hi Dan ) I could
go on forever with this but it's got to end sometime. I am hoping to be able to
go on another cruise like this someday.
