[jrb0520]

YOU MAY WANT TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS TO ASK REVIEWS OF THE EMPRESS. LAST WEEK WAS A TRIAL COMING OUT OF DRYDOCK. SEEMED LIKE MANY NEW CREW MEMBERS, LOTS OF UNFINISHED PROJECTS AND SOME PROBLEMS.

I am a reporter and I am trying to talk to people who were on last week's Empress, the first one out of Bayonne. I can be reached at 201-436-6400.

There was a post last week from one person who has sailed on the Empress. If memory serves me correctly, it was her first cruise.

 

Her report looked a lot like the reoprts on Monarch right after she came out of dry dock refurbishment, not very good. There were problems with service, water (hot/cold, toilets not working properly, flooding) and things that just weren't completed.

 

After reading about the problems with Monarch and now seeing one person who had similar problems on Empress, I'm not sure I'd want to take a voyage on a ship shortly after refurbishment. Maybe 6 or 7 months down the road but not right after she comes out of dry dock.
