Majesty vs Empress

We are thinking of going on a Cuba cruise. Which ship would be better, Majesty of the Seas or Empress of the Seas, and why.

Thanks for guiding me there. I did not see that thread before.

For some additional info -

We went on Empress in April of 2017 and then sailed Majesty in August of 2017. At the time, we sailed Empress to Cuba and we will sail to Cuba again in a few weeks on Majesty.

I can break it down a bit but it really depends on what is important to you.

Empress recently received a face lift and looks GREAT. The new Boleros is beautiful. Both ships are clean but a bit old. Both have very small standard cabins.

Specialty Restaurant ( Chops) - Empress YES, Majesty NO

Crown and Anchor nightly event (No lounge on either ship) - Empress NO, Majesty YES

Smoking allowed in Casino - Empress NO. Majesty YES.

I think it is a toss up. Perhaps the departure port can be a tie breaker.

Hope this helps a bit
