Empress through the smallest RCCL ship, It has everything you need. Took the four day weekend cruise just to relax. As it is an older ship it is not perfect. As I have seen posted there is a bit of a sewage smell sometime, I purchase some sold air fresher for our room, seemed to help. I have been cruising for a while, so when I see people comment about the food I have to laugh, Everything they service has to be frozen. So the food is not perfect. I would recommend eating at the Windjammer, It is usually the same menu at the Main Dining room and you can get your food quicker. There were two things in the Windjammer that could us improvement. When getting your food there are not tray's or tray counter as you move along to get your food, so you have to hold everything.
