Questions regarding sailing on Empress of the Seas

[misha1]

Hello fellow cruisers.  It has been awhile since I have sailed on Royal and a longer while since I have sailed on a smaller ship. We are Diamond level and I wondered if there was a Diamond lounge like on other vessels?  What else, if anything, can we expect from Diamond level these days? Someone mentioned in a review of the Empress that there is a designated area on RCCL's private island for suite guests, can anyone expound on this?  Are there coffee makers in the suites?  Anything of interest you can share would be great to read.  I do not see many comments on this forum about the Empress.  Thanks in advance   Julie

Empress does not have a DL, but you can use your three drink coupons at any bar. There are coffee makers in suites.

There's also a special suites and Diamond sail away party held on the back outside deck behind Bolero's, beautiful spot for a sail away or any day.
