The Empress was my very first cruise! I was enraptured from the start and have become a cruiser since then! I'm so Glad I started off small and had such a great intimate experience to draw me in!
The Nordic Empress was my very first ship. I was 20 & it was the absolute best. At that time, it was huge!! Lol I cried when it was time to leave, as the crew & experience was overwhelming with awesomeness! You never forget your first & it was great to see some memories. Nostalgic @ it’s best! ❤️
First time seeing any of your videos, my wife and I are "nerding" up before we board the Empress next month to go to Cuba. We both loved your entertaining and informative presentation. We also decided we wanted to cruise with you. Lol
i just got off that ship on the 31. but i didn’t go outside at all, I just stayed in the viking longe with the teens club 😂 we also went to the late night snack a lot. it was a lot of fun!!
Excellent, comprehensive ship review!! Thank You so much for the time and effort put into this video! Cuba is now a no-go, so I’m trying to decide whether to take the alternate itinerary for 50% off, or cancel all together. This video is very helpful. ❤️
Great review. I know you advised against longer cruises on the Empress but my 7 night Canada & New England cruise is paid for. It's my first cruise and Ill be traveling solo, so the tiny room shouldn't be an issue. I've stayed in tiny N.Y. hotel rooms. I hope I get a big window in my Ocean view stateroom. I'm looking forward to the shows. I would be that person on the treadmill watching party goers. This was a great vid to watch to get me prepared. 👍
Just booked our Halifax cruise for next August on Empress. The age and size of the ship doesn't matter to us. All I need is a tall cold drink and a deck chair! Great review, thanks for sharing!
Nice video. We booked a cruise on this ship for a 5 night in early october, just the wife and I, daughter will be in school. Have never been on it yet, took a cruise on Adventure of the Seas in March and many various Royal Caribbean ships in the past so it'll feel small....lol! Oh well, I'm happy to be able to go and relax/have some fun. Looking forward to it.
Yeah I’ve been on both and in some ways the smaller ones can be better service less packed easier to get to shore with tender etc the biggest negative is the rocking I find they are quite abit less stable I’ve found and less to do no ice skating rinks for example like on the voyager.
Is there enough to do for teenagers on this ship? We want to go to Cuba and this is one of the only ships that goes. We have 3 girls ages 12-14. Will they be bored?
Bkkersey93 Depends if you like small ships, which is something I do. For me destination is more important than the ship herself. I detest big RCCL ships
awesome video! i am actually going in a couple days and i am wondering if i should buy the bottle of water that they offer? Don't they provide water on the ship? and also do you really recommend i purchase the drink package? I honestly don't drink a lot but are the prices that high?
I liked your video, but had to stop watching half way through. Please do not spin around so fast with the camera, it literally made me sick. If you slow down or reduce the number of pan shots it would be great. Thanks for your efforts.

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in the beginning that’s me swimming in the pool🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣omg
My first & favorite cruise was on Nordic Empress. I still see some familiar things from it on the re-do. Can't wait to get back on it.
Molly looked nice in the blue outfit in the stateroom. Great review...thanks for posting.
Awesome as always! Legend rules and we want more Molly reviewing!
Great job!

We are leaving to Cuba on Jan 27 on our honeymoon. Is that your sail date too?
I’m leaving for Cuba 🇨🇺 on July. How did it go for you? Let us know! Hope you had a great time. Congratulations on your honeymoon Bryssa!
Trump decided to ban cruise ships to take American people to Cuba on cruise ship
Wonderful video, I lol when you said we are back to “normal food” after you passed the salad bar! Sounds like me! Thanks for a fun walk through video!

Is there a reason why to advise against longer cruises on the Empress?
The service on there was amazing! Shout out to Haydar, Ronnie and Setho!
Ronnie was amazing!!

Great Job Molly! Loved the video, as always. Really look forward to your Cruise Videos.
Loved your video tour, nice job. You keep it entertaining.
It's called a wraparound promenade.
Big fan of the cruise ship tour/review videos!
On the 3 royal ships that I've been on it was always chive tv like 20 hours a day
I would not surprise ..the ship moves back to Pullman cruiseship line very soon...with no more Cuba trips..they use this for its size for Cuba trip
This video gets a golden up
Starlight looks like a reflection of the theater in a way
The video is good. The progression of drinking is better.
I am in Miami and looking at the ship right now
Enjoy
Thank you but I am not going on it I just see it from the room I am in but thank you
In the Loop a long with Allure of the seas
On a quest to watch all of the cruise videos?

😂🤣 The Legend being too drunk and Molly taking over the video.
I’m getting mixed reports of a solarium. The Royal Caribbean website says it has one, but I’ve yet to see a video that shows it.
Ship preference is really subjective. I actually enjoy smaller ships like this over the huge ones.
Yeah I’ve been on both and in some ways the smaller ones can be better service less packed easier to get to shore with tender etc the biggest negative is the rocking I find they are quite abit less stable I’ve found and less to do no ice skating rinks for example like on the voyager.
How do you find affordable drink package?
Thanks so informative;-)
Watching this video make me want to keep doing Carnival Cruise Line.
Keep in mind this is one of the oldest/smallest ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet. But personally I do prefer Carnival over Royal Caribbean
ROYAL CARIBBEAN POWER!!
You could always buy glass straws and pack them. That’s what I do.
Is there enough to do for teenagers on this ship? We want to go to Cuba and this is one of the only ships that goes. We have 3 girls ages 12-14. Will they be bored?
Depend on how much they like the teen clubs and pool/sunbathing. Could be bored or they could be fine
Go on the bigger ships
It’s boring go on another ship
The empress is the smallest and oldest rccl ship today
And these things makes her to be the best one
@@FranciscoCamino No they don't lmbo.
Bkkersey93 Depends if you like small ships, which is something I do. For me destination is more important than the ship herself. I detest big RCCL ships
I love the honesty lol
Very nice
I got the reference Simon Miller
They don't seem to have many balcony cabins.
Can u record vedio in detail at starlight dinning
I love to ships vedioes thank u so much
Are you guys from Cincinnati, I saw the diamond back magnet on your door!?
Negative, we are from Orlando, Florida. But travel to theme parks all the time across the country and get to Kings Island every few years
Sweet
I was here in 2010. Shanghai to busan.im korean
Thx, now we will look elsewhere.!
I noticed there was no promenade or sorrento's pizzeria, so is the dining room or windjammer open late at night?
Windjammer is
Is this cruise going to Europe?
Does the Empress have coffeemaker and refrigerater in cabins?
negative
Getting scared!
Carmen Irizarry it’s the oldest ship and smallest it might fall apart
@Chrisoconnorj 01
Nah, Royal Caribbean has taken care of her. She’s perfectly safe to go on.
can the bed be separated. it will be two of us?
Yes
@ 11:32 is that Elvira's mom???..............lol
awesome video! i am actually going in a couple days and i am wondering if i should buy the bottle of water that they offer? Don't they provide water on the ship? and also do you really recommend i purchase the drink package? I honestly don't drink a lot but are the prices that high?
If you don’t drink 7-8 drinks a day (at least) drink package wouldn’t be worth it. They do provide tap water on the ship
@@IntheLoopPodcast am i able to bring liquor in the ship?
No, but I believe each guest can bring one unopened bottle of wine in there carryon
Seems like a really bad ship. I would want a more modern ship. I now know to AVOID this ship. Thanks I almost booked on this..... BIG SAVE
first lmao

Garbage of the seas
