@Artemetra You don't need to travel at 45 knots to water ski barefoot. If anything, travelling that fast barefoot would put you in excruciating pain. It can be done at speeds as low as (but not limited to) 10 knots. I have personally witnessed this.
I don't know if I'd try that shit behind the QM2 or some of those bigger Italian built tubs. They set deep in the water, and their wake creates a hellacious undercurrent.
who would go on that floating peice of shit, move up a class and go on a known cruise line hense RCI,carnival,norwegian. something were u dont have a haitian that smells and doesnt bathe wait on u in a small little dining room.
I sailed on this ship with my parents when I was one years old in November 1985 when it was the MS Caribe I of the Commodore Cruise Lines. A shame it's being taken out of service.
All sailing on Regal Empress have been cancelled this week and the ship is on permanent charter for Gulf storm relief. After that she'll most likely be scrapped.
yeah it smelled, but it didn't smell like pee. It smelled like an old ship. Keeping in mind she's over 50 years old, the smell disappeared quickly (got used to it) and had a old-time pleasentness to it actually. You certainly didn't forget the charm of being on a old girl like her.
For a 55-year old ship, the Regal Empress is in pretty good shape plus alot better looking than the boxy new ships. The woodwork onboard is amazing and it is all real-not the plastic crap on most new ships.
Not to mention that it smells like pee, the water pressure sucks and...well it's really just a crappy ship. Did you just sail on it or did you work there?
Went to Nassau and back, noticed the water pressure issue, didn't notice any urine smell. But did see some rust and ill fitting trim.
We liked most of the employees we met on board, although the guys selling drinks were kind of like circling annoying sharks. My apologies if that was your job.

In Denmark managed to get 3 guys waterskiing behind a danish cruise (not as big as this) but that was all the way back in 1982.

Was it just me, or does it vibrate when the engine is running?

Considering what we paid, it was a fair value.

Yes, it vibrates while the engine is running (was just on her Jan 5 - 7), but it's not a big deal (the vibrations are subtle). Great ship she is!
