ROYAL Caribbean’s Empress of
the Seas left for its first sailing
with the line this week, around
two months later than originally
scheduled (CW 22 Dec 15).
The vessel will now homeport at
Miami following a $50m revamp
adding a new rock-climbing wall,
pools, hot tubs, a solarium and a
signature Chops Grille.
The renovations took longer
than planned, causing 13 trips to
be axed.
