JustMarriedBuckeyes Posted January 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2007 My DH and I are looking at the 8 night repositioning cruise from San Juan to Norfolk on 4/20 on Empress of the Seas. As we have only sailed on two larger RCL ships in the past (Mariner and Navigator), we are apprehensive about the smaller staterooms. Does anyone know which oceanview staterooms on Empress are larger than others? There are so many categories available that it is confusing!!!! Thanks!!!!

truffles2 Posted January 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Someone who stayed in the Owner's Suite said it was smaller than jr. suites on other ships. A regular OV is very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laoghaire Posted January 14, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hello, Try for a "Superior Ocean View Stateroom". They are still small, but are 157 sq.ft. as opposed to 139 sq.ft for ordinary oceanview. Think they are stateroom numbers-9164,9664,8164,8664,7164,7664. Square footage according to Travel Agent Guide. Hope this helps. We love the Empress, going on for the third time next January! Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laoghaire Posted January 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi, Look at Post titled "Empress Cabin Confusion-Help, Please". Am pretty sure this is one of the staterooms I mentioned above. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareBird Posted January 14, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2007 we cruised on empress twice - both times on 9th floor in JR suite cabins. they're about 190sq feet and about the size of a balcony cabin on voyager class ships. empress is a small ship and ONLY balcony cabins are on 9th floor and they sell out fast.

Alexis Posted January 14, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2007 There are also balcony cabins on Deck 7 aft. Deck 8 aft and of course Deck 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdfitz53 Posted June 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Someone who recently sailed on Empress and was in 8164 shared a video of the room. This is awesome because we're in 8164 in 3 weeks and I was concerned about the layout. Its a bigger room than most, and the layout is great. Booking sites list it as a 3 person room, but you can book it for 4 (we did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked on the August 25, 2016 sailing of Empress and originally booked 9164, which has the same configuration as the cabin in the video. We had an opportunity to move to a JS and did. We originally wanted this cabin because it does seem to be just a little bit bigger than other outside cabins on Empress. As it goes, all of the cabins are small (by today's standards). We expect to have a GREAT time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
