If anyone from Royal is reading my paypal account is twangster@..., I also accept Venmo. 🤣 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pics sell that ship on their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted August 5, 2020 #78 Share Posted August 5, 2020 We are thrilled to be on Empress again! She looks even better than when we were last onboard her, in 2006. No problem staying aboard for several days. We're hoping the Merengue musicians in Bolero's will be playing tonight. That transporter has made some excellent choices. Good idea to let it rest for a bit, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snits Posted August 5, 2020 #80 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Absolutely awesome. Looks like I am not the only one who is missing being pampered on a cruise ship. So far our Covid-19 cruising.......well guess we have only rebooked and booked cruises. Here's to hoping for a better 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted August 6, 2020 Author #85 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The reason it's fitting to visit this next port of call while we sail on Empress of the Seas is because they were a package deal of sorts with the acquisition of Admiral Cruises. Both ship and CocoCay have come a long way since then. The addition of the pier was a game changer and the introduction of Perfect Day was all that many times over. Both Empress and CocoCay have come a long way since then. The addition of the pier was a game changer and the introduction of Perfect Day at CocoCay was all that many times over. Sailing from Florida and on Empress of the Seas it was simply unavoidable for me to make this stop at CocoCay. Let's take a little look around... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted August 6, 2020 Author #95 Share Posted August 6, 2020 After leaving CocoCay we sail away into the sunset... directly into the sunset. Oh how I miss moments like this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted August 6, 2020 Author #98 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The forward deck area is a great place to sail into the sunset but after dark it's also a great place to stargaze. On this occasion that included Milky Way gazing. I caught some lightning on the horizon from a distant storm in this next photo. Forget sailing into the sunset. Tonight we sail away into the Milky Way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted August 6, 2020 Author #99 Share Posted August 6, 2020 As we approached Miami under the cover of darkness it was almost time to debark. I looked down to see the Captain on the bridge wing. Our eyes met and I gave him the nod. He understood. Warp drive engaged, we are heading back out to sea. When it's a made up cruise you can do things like this. I think I'll stay on Empress one more day, there's an island calling my name. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
