When I see a ship there in August I will believe it.

I have the July 30th cruise which if the shorten to 7 days would be 8/1 - But I won't hold my breath. 

We also had the Oasis scheduled for 7/30 and our T/A stated it was flagged and closed.. Still waiting for our deposit.

Looks like the Oasis will cruise on the Scheduled FL/Bahamas ITIN.

I don’t have any dates. That’s just what I read on the Royal Caribbean blog.

With Freedom coming up to NJ, does anyone know what sailings she might do? I want to try a smaller ship after doing Anthem and Oasis, but probably don’t want to do Bahamas and Florida for the third year in a row. All I can find right now is that she will be doing five nights and nine nights. 
 

Is the Freedom Doing the 9nt Bermuda/Caribbean Voyage during the Summer of 2021 ??

 

same as the Explorer, Liberty & Anthem ?? Do you have the dates ??

Yesterday at sea there was a brunch offered in the MDR 9am to noon.  No lunch.

 

All Diamond and above have the usual 3 drink coupons available 5 - 8:30pm.  Diamond Plus, Pinnacle and Gold Card Suites are included in the Chops Grille breakfast every morning.  Beyond that there is no dedicated space like a lounge offered.  As a Diamond Plus I have felt more acknowledgment of that level from the crew here on Empress.  That isn't anything tangible that you can assign a value to but it is something compared to other ships.  

 

Being a smaller ship there tend to be fewer top elite.  I've been on cruises with several hundred D+ and on those you are more of a fish in sea but with the lower numbers on Empress the crew do get to know you and who is who.  There are 17 of us D+ and 2 Pinnacles on this sailing.  

 

On the first cruise a Pinnacle member sitting beside me at the Schooner Bar asked something about the drinks in a pleasant and friendly tone.  "We'll take care of you" was the response.  That's not a policy written on paper but there does seem to be an effort that I have noticed to be aware and take care of me.  That works for me because I am friendly with the crew and get to know them on a first name basis.  Someone who is abrasive or demanding simply because of their C&A level might not fare as well.  

Thanks for your excellent review. We sailed on the Empress back in the 90’s from NYC to Bermuda regularly and RCL did announce this announce this morning that the Empress

will be sailing to Bermuda again from Cape Liberty during the Summer of 2020.

Thank You !!!

Liberty Of The Seas Sailing from Cape Liberty on the 5 Night/ 9nt Bermuda/Caribbean ITIN

during the summers of 2021 & 2022 according to the SXM Cruise Schedule which has been extremely accurate for many years.

Does the Empress offer a sit down lunch in the Star Light dinning room on Sea Days ??

Also Since the Empress doesn’t have a Suite or Diamond Lounge, What amenities does the Empress offer to D+ and Pinnacle folks ??

Since the Empress doesn’t have a designated Suite or diamond lounge, what amenities does she offer for D+
& Pinnacle Folks ??  Are the 3 alcohol beverages added on to your Seapass Card nightly ??

Anthem on the Move to CL

That the question I also have 

Anthem on the Move to CL

Thanks, very familiar with the area unfortunately Auto correct on IOS is having an issue.

The Anthem is Anchored off of Bayridge Brooklyn in the Bayridge Anchorage with the pilot

onboard.  The pilot stated that the Anthem is scheduled to return to CL at 500pm. 

Doubt it, really not worth it with tropical mischief predicted for the Bermuda area. 

Yes, North Of The VZ in Bayridge Anchorage. 

And anchoring North Of The VZ near Bayridge Brooklyn 

The Anthem of the Seas just departed CL and will be heading North Bound until the Summit docks.
