Creator's Key Takeaways

the Empress of the Seas we are on the small ship in the fleet and of course that means the smallest in the series as well

she is a very small ship for the Royal Caribbean fleet but also for any of the major cruise line

this compass is by far the best conference I've seen Royal Caribbean offer on a ship

the main dining room of a cruise ship can take on many forms depending on the line with Royal Caribbean it has long been about grand open spaces with large multi-level rooms

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch the muster drill video in your cabin before going to your muster station
Use the new compass to easily find activities by section and time order

YouTube Video Description

This is the 1st episode of theCruiseView's sailing onboard the Empress of the Seas. Unlike my other videos that feature the ship and let you enjoy the experience of being at sea without interruption, theCruiseView is a guided tour of the daily happenings during the cruise. This sailing features a return to the classic days of cruising with a voyage on the Empress of the Seas as she sails a 7 night Western Caribbean itinerary. Over the course of these 7 episodes you will get to see in detail every cruise compass, every main dining room menu, and all the happenings onboard during this voyage. This series will take you into the day to day experience of being onboard the Empress of the Seas with over 1,500 guests to experience every moment of life at sea and every festivity along the way. On today's episode we join the Empress of the Seas in her home port of Miami. We have a horn battle with the Vision of the Seas as we set sail through the channel and out to sea to get the voyage started. On this first episode we bring back the venue and dining tours with a look at the Starlight Dining Room.
