Imperial Majesty Cruise Line Vacations
From LoveToKnow Cruises
Imperial Majesty Cruise Line Vacations is a small and relatively new cruise line offering two-night budget cruises from Florida to the Bahamas. With a fleet of only one ship, visitors aboard Regal Empress are given unprecedented attention. Built in Glasgow, Scotland in 1953, this well maintained ship offers an elegant glimpse into the luxurious past of cruising while offering modern amenities.
The Imperial Majesty Cruise Line Vacations Fleet
Regal Empress is the only ship in the Imperial Majesty Cruise Line fleet.
Size
Regal Empress is 612 feet long and weighs 21,000 tons. Regal Empress has a capacity for 1,190 passengers.
Departure Ports
Regal Empress always departs from the same Port Everglades port in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on its way to Nassau in the Bahamas. The consistent departure and arrival times, and well-practiced itinerary are a well-rehearsed machine performed very efficiently since the same exact procedures occur every other day.
Décor
Though Regal Empress has been around since 1953, she has aged very gracefully. Much of the original craftsmanship is still on full display. A great deal of the original brass fixtures, wood, and mahogany on board has held up nicely. Intricate glass etchings can also still be appreciated in the Mermaid Lounge. The décor is elegant and quite magnificent. The décor separates Regal Empress from many of the more modern ships, which have added a great deal of aesthetic components but lack the fine detailed elegance that the Regal Empress was born with. The exquisite ambiance and traditional charm of this ship continue to impress visitors.
Cruise Itineraries
Regal Empress offers cruises between Nassau, Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All trips are two-night cruises. Regal Empress departs from Fort Lauderdale at 5:00 p.m. At 9:00 a.m. the ship arrives in the Bahamas. At 5:30 p.m. Regal Empress departs the Bahamas and returns early the next morning in Fort Lauderdale, arriving at 9:00 am.

Service in the dining room is always excellent and the cuisine is always exceptional. The glamorous ambiance of the ship is on full display in the dining room.

Comments
Do a search for the phrase "Fed a Staple of Lies" for a detailed description of how a $598 "romantic luxury getaway" ballooned into over $2400 worth of extra charges for what turned out to be a four hour timeshare sales pitch, a filthy motel room, cold leftovers, and an equally horrific boat with a 6-foot-wide puddle on deck portrayed in the literature as a "luxurious" swimming pool.
My daughter just got an offer for this "free" cruise today and asked me what's the catch. Smart girl.
-- Contributed by: PeterHi Pat, It's difficult to say what the 'catch' might be without seeing the offer. Sometimes cruise lines partner with airlines, restaurants, or transportation services to offer package deals, or ask you to purchase additional travel services in order to receive the special deal. We are not affiliated with Imperial Majesty, so I would suggest contacting the company directly and asking if there are any qualifications for the promotion and airfare prices for the dates in questions. Best of luck.
-- Contributed by: AmyfI received a letter in the mail offering a free 2-night Carribbean Cruise. What's the catch? What will it cost me from my home in Spokane, WA to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, the cruise and any food, drinks, etc.? Please answer ASAP. Thanks
Pat
