Recent photos of empress of the seas in dry dock

No, that wouldn't work.

 

The shakedown is from the 26th to 28th, with the first cruise being on the 28th.

 

It's simply a mistake.

 

Are you sure the shakedown is two nights?

Lots and lots of photos right now on Instagram taken by employees on the Shakedown cruise. Go to Instagram and search for the Empressoftheseas all one word. Empress looks absolutely fantastic!

Does a shake down cruise ho nowhere? It looks like Empress is still in port?

Other photos on FB in Crown and Anchor society and other random pages. One picture is of a Cafe Royal. Looks like a coffee shop? Do any other ships have Cafe Royals?

Ships with Royal Promenade = Café Promenade

Ships without Royal Promenade = Lattetudes

 

It is quite possible that Empress wanted to be "different."

Looks VERY Cuban inspired.

The first picture of the forward top deck looks wonderful. Hammocks and large cushioned couches...nice! Centrum is also looking good!

Any good threads out there with pics taken on this first sailing?

[Citymom92]

Yes- There is a thread started by someone on the ship right now. Look for "May 28 first sailing on the Empress" for photos of the new interiors and some public spaces.
