absolutely beautiful conditions today we had a listed high of 86 degrees and the seas were incredibly calm

the show did an incredible job of really filling that venue and making the show feel complete

it's an absolutely incredible ship and amazing how well the flow of pass-throughs just dissipates throughout the ship

YouTube Video Description↓

This is the 3rd 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 the Empress of the Seas spends her first day of the voyage at sea on her way to Mexico. We spend the day taking in the sunshine and doing some belly flops before the Captain takes over the night with the Crown and Anchor Welcome Back Reception and Captain's Welcome Reception. Fittingly I got to sit down with Captain Shawn McDuff to learn more about his career and the capabilities of the Empress of the Seas. I also take a deeper look into the location of the Captain's Reception and so many other events, the Centrum, for today's venue tour.
