Empress

9-night cruise from Philly to San Juan, stopping in Hamilton, Bemuda; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. On departure day, it had rained
for about 36 hours, stopping just in time for us to board Royal Caribbean's Empress of the Seas for her last repositioning cruise before RCI transfers her to another line in March 2008.
