Empress of the Seas ~ July 28, 2016 ~ C&A Takeover Cruise!

[travelwide]

Just curious.....when were the invites to this special cruise sent out?? I know several fairly local Pinnacles who did not get an invite.

 

What top brass are going to be on board?? Curious if an announcement is going to be made by them!!!! This is Mario's last cruise before jumping over to the Freedom (??) Spoke to him last week while on board.

[Bailey & Sophie]

How do you get an invite to these things? I'm available. Pick me. PLEASE!!

Interested in knowing that as well.

I like to drink Stella myself but I find It tastes best when its on tab, just don't get the flavor from the bottle.

I like Jose better than Stella. But maybe they're friends?

[cincicruisers]

Happy sailing. Come back and share your review.

[JamesEM]

Following along.

Unfortunately, it's happening with more frequency lately, but the moderators are quick to delete it as soon as it's reported.

 

I must have missed the "spam" what does it usually look like - I know probably dumb question:eek:

[hollon]

Thanks for doing this and have a great cruise. I've only been on the big ships and going to this ship would be a shock for my family I'm sure, - after taking this cruise could you let us know if you think people will enjoy it, if there is enough to do, etc, we would love pictures, videos - thank you :):):):):)

I've seen two types so far.

 

One is just a bunch of gibberish characters, no words at all.

 

The other is trying to sell something.

[CRUISEBOY305]

See you in a couple of hours Michael.

 

 

 

Whooohoooooo Empress is here :D:D:D:D

This one was both. It was gibberish because it was initially posted in Asian characters - Thai, I believe - which turns into gibberish with an American interface.

Hi Friends,

 

This Thursday I'll be boarding the Empress of the Seas for a 4 night cruise to Key West and Coco Cay. A few weeks ago Royal Caribbean marketing team reached out to me and invited me on this sailing. They are having a top tier sailing for their C&A members, and a few social media bloggers on board (me!).

 

So my question is, what do you want to know about the Empress? I know this cruise will be different, but I'm still to check it out.

 

I'll be doing 2-3 daily periscope from the ship, so be sure to follow me! @mpoole3

 

Party. Chill. Repeat. :D

 

have fun, and report back all the details! :p

[Sugar*Magnolia]

Great scoping of your JS! Thanks so much for taking the time and enjoy your cruise! :)

[Virtopia]

I'm watching the Periscopes but it shows that comments are only restricted to viewers that you follow ... hence I can't comment there, LOL!

 

Everything looks really great, have a wonderful sailing! :D

Michael said that he couldn't figure out how to fix the settings to allow comments/questions.

 

I am sure that he'll get it right later.

Hi Michael,

 

I'm sailing on Empress next Saturday. We have an Aft JS (7688).Do you know if any of the JS have bathtubs? I've heard mixed things.

 

Thanks! Hope you are having a great time!

No questions! Just have fun. Curious to see how the renovations turned out...Empress has surely turned out to be an interesting case.

Curious if you have a/c issues in your cabin. Fans were already claimed when we asked for one, so I tend to believe there continues to be widespread a/c issues. Casino still had floor fans on our cruise.
