Royal Caribbean International announced that the former Empress of the Seas will be leaving her role as Empress at Pullmantar and began sailing under the Royal Caribbean flag again. After a major drydock and renovation Empress will again become Empress of the Seas.
When Empress of the Seas orginally left Royal's fleet she did not exatly fit the brand and I thik it was a good idea for her to transfer over to a different brand under Royal Caribbean Cruises. Hopefully her major drydock will expand her and add her to the short cruises ship options from Royal.
